What is a .SRF file?
SRF is an older Sony camera RAW format. Opened in Adobe Lightroom.
- Did you know
- SRF came from Sony’s fixed-lens Cyber-shot prosumer cameras such as the DSC-F828, predating the later SR2 and ARW formats.
- SRF was Sony’s earliest raw format, debuting on prosumer Cyber-shot fixed-lens cameras such as the DSC-F828 before any Sony DSLR existed.
- The DSC-F828 that produced SRF files used an unusual four-colour RGBE sensor, adding an “emerald” filter to the usual red, green and blue.
- SRF is thought to stand for Sony Raw File, and it was succeeded first by SR2 and then by the long-running ARW format.
- Like later Sony raw formats, SRF stores the sensor’s mosaic data in a TIFF-derived container rather than as a viewable image.
- What Analyser shows you
- Open camera RAW files from Sony (ARW), Canon (CR2, CR3, CRW), Nikon (NEF, NRW), Fujifilm X-Trans (RAF), Sigma Foveon (X3F), Olympus (ORF), Panasonic (RW2), Pentax (PEF), Adobe DNG and many more. Reads full EXIF and lens data, the true sensor resolution, GPS and histograms, recovers the Sony and Nikon shutter actuation count, and develops the RAW - decoding the sensor to a full-resolution image, or extracting the embedded preview when a true demosaic is not available.
