Raw video recording in cameras refers to capturing unprocessed footage directly from the camera sensor without any in-camera compression or adjustments like color correction or sharpening. This results in a larger file size but provides maximum flexibility in post-production. The advantage of raw video is that it retains all the original data, allowing filmmakers to have greater control over exposure, color grading, and other image characteristics, leading to higher quality and more dynamic final footage. Currently there are only 67 cameras with RAW Video Recording. The latest released RAW Video Recording cameras are the Sony FX5, the Canon R6 V and the Sony A7R VI.
