Sony Photo Recovery

The SR2 file format is a proprietary raw image file format created by Sony.

The raw images are made of unmodified sensor data that's packaged up metadata that can easily be modified / altered before it gets exported to common format like .tiff or .jpeg.

Contrary to popular belief, SR2s are bigger than JPEGs, i.e. the sr2 raw file store with 12 –b 15 per pixel while jpegs are 8 bits.

So it's clear that the raw image file are about 6 times larger than the standard JPEG file size.

The CCD sensor of Sony digital camera of course captures this data in all its definition and depth.

It's kept or stored without any applied effects or without compression.

Almost all SR2 files are linked with the Sony R1 camera line that are a popular series of digital SLR cameras.

The raw images are stored as .sr2 file extension.

Some people say the raw images are like digital "negative" because like negatives, the raw images aren't used directly.

However, they contain all the information necessary to make a complete image, so a more accurate description would be they're like exposed but undeveloped film.

Meaning, you can "develop" the SR2 different ways to get different results in your usable image format.

And, yes, the procedure to convert the RAW file into viewable file format is called "developing" the raw image.

(How 'bout that??)

But being that we're merging creativity / documentation with technology, there are a lot of places for things to go off the rails.

Sometimes, this means the .sr2 files get hoarked (or deleted), so now what??

  • Camera turns off while the SR2 raw file is being written
  • Damaged or Hard drive malfunctioning
  • Accidental deletion of images
  • Memory Card formatting
  • Memory card corruption
  • Error encountered
  • Virus infection
  • Incompatibility with other software

Due to any of the situation occurrence, like when you're starting a digital magazine, the .sr2 file gets corrupt thus results in .sr2 file deletion and this means complete raw image deletion or loss of raw files.
