ORF files are raw image files created by Olympus digital cameras, storing unprocessed data directly from the camera's sensor. These files preserve all the image information, allowing photographers greater flexibility in editing compared to standard JPEGs. The format is similar to other RAW files but uniquely tailored to Olympus camera models. Introduced alongside Olympus's digital photography line, ORF files help maintain high image quality for professional and enthusiast photographers.
The ORF format stores image data using a proprietary raw sensor encoding unique to Olympus cameras, including sensor-specific color filter array patterns. It supports various bit depths, commonly 12 or 14 bits per channel, which allows capturing a wide dynamic range. These files also include embedded JPEG previews to facilitate quick viewing without full processing. The format's development coincided with Olympus's push into digital SLR and mirrorless cameras, optimizing raw data management for their sensor technology.
Because ORF files contain uncompressed and unprocessed image data, they tend to be significantly larger than JPEG files but offer better quality for post-processing. Editing software like Adobe Lightroom and Olympus's own software supports ORF format, enabling users to adjust exposure, white balance, and other parameters with precision. An interesting fact is that ORF files often include metadata such as camera settings and lens information, useful for photographers analyzing their shots. This metadata can be crucial for learning and improving photography techniques.
