What camera settings may affect a RAW photo?


I know this is too general question, but I'll give it a try..




About an hour research in photo.SE, I found some question, that are related to this one:



Shutter speed and aperture are obvious, of course.





What other settings may affect a RAW photo?



Answer



settings which influence actual exposure:



  • shooting mode TV,AV,M etc.

  • shutter speed

  • aperture

  • ISO

  • exposure compensation


  • safety shift (Canon)

  • flash (on/off)

  • flash exposure compensation

  • active D lighting (Nikon) - affects raw capture by underexposing for highlights

  • exposure bracketing

  • exposure lock

  • metering mode

  • focus screen setting (telling the camera which screen you're using affects metering reading)


others




  • mirror lock-up

  • image stabilisation

  • long exposure noise reduction

  • any setting which relates to the AF system

  • raw image size e.g. medium raw, small raw

  • crop mode (Nikon)

  • sensor cleaning

  • focus microadjust
