| Technical Details | SR2 files are RAW image files which contain unmodified sensor data packaged up with metadata that can be interpreted and adjusted prior to exporting the image to a more common format such as JPEG or TIFF. The SR2 RAW file is stored with 12 to 14 bits per pixel compared to a JPEG which is normally held in 8 bits.
