Note: sRAW images are not supported from any camera. This document describes specific symptoms that may be seen with the Canon EOS 40D camera if the sRAW format is used.
The Canon EOS 40D camera offers an option to shoot images in a format called "sRAW", in addition to RAW and JPEG. As indicated on the Mac OS X 10.5 RAW Camera Support page, RAW images from the EOS 40D are supported. However, sRAW images are not supported. If you try to open sRAW images from the EOS 40D you may see some of the following issues:
- Attempting to open an sRAW image in Preview on Intel-based computers running Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard may cause Preview to quit unexpectedly.
- sRAW images opened with Preview on PowerPC-based or Intel-based computers running Mac OS X 10.4.11 Tiger will display garbage.
- sRAW images can be imported into iPhoto on Intel-based computers running Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, but iPhoto may quit unexpectedly when you try to edit them.
- sRAW images can be imported into Aperture on Intel-based computers running Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, but Aperture may quit unexpectedly when opened if there are sRAW images in the Aperture library.
- sRAW images can be imported into iPhoto and Aperture on PowerPC-based or Intel-based computers running Mac OS X 10.4.11 Tiger, but the images will display garbage.
