Several years old SX1 IS
1

I have an SX1 that I loan out to my traveling Grandchildren, It's still doing great, but today when I was replacing the little date battery, and going through the downloaded manual, I noted that this camera is supposed to shoot in RAW. In this cameras menu, there are only three choices. Superfine, Fine and normal. NO RAW. Is it deeper in a submenu?   Larry

On most canon, you can’t change to raw if you are in auto (green box) mode.  Could that be it?

Agree, similar behavior happen in Panasonic Lumix TZ90.

Func button - Scroll down to the big L - Scroll to the right and it should be at the end.

GOT IT!   It was a note at the bottom of page 295, that said you can't shoot RAW in 16-9 wide screen. and said to see page 8o on how to change to 4-3. That brought up many more selections when setting quality, including RAW.  Thanks' for the help:    Larry
