Hi. My PowerShot S60 has an option to choose JPG size when shooting RAW, but that JPG is stored inside the RAW file (a bigger JPG makes easier to check focus in play mode). How do I get it out? Thanks!

The embedded JPG image in a RAW file is "only" a small "thumbnail" JPG image that allows you to "view" the image on camera, computer; etc. displays.

The camera setting's "... option to choose JPG size ..," is only for the actual JPG images; e.g., with the "JPG" or "JPG+RAW" settings.

If you have a Windows OS computer can save the small embedded thumbnail JPG image with the free FastStone Image Viewer app; see HERE.

For more options just simply do a online search for "RAW image JPG thumbnail image".

Ty! But the camera can save "big" JPGs inside RAW files (idk why it does that JPG+RAW -separate- is not an option, like in most cameras).

I will try FastStone Image Viewer
