thanx mate but weather gets too hot here and humidity is very high so i am not sure if i am lucky or not lol..
for the exif, its a data that contians the shooting properties like camera brand, lens type, ISO, metering, focus, aperture, shutter speed, etc... you can reach these exif datas with; right click on a file Properties/summary/advanced
RAW is useless unless you shoot for pro applications.. what RAW does is it records all the data to the file without any compression so it becomes more flexable when it comes to retouching. you can make a file B&W or Color or sepia without sacrifying from quality. if you do major changes to a jpeg file it looses the quality...
but i can say that if you are not shooting for professional applications its just filling your harddisk with garbage... i shot the photos above with medium resolution and fine quality and they are all JPEG...
i only shoot RAW when i cant decide to shoot Color or B&W..
