About SR2
SR2 (Sony RAW 2) is Sony's second-generation RAW image format used by SLT (Single Lens Translucent) cameras from 2010-2016. SR2 stores unprocessed 12-14 bit sensor data, preserving full dynamic range and color depth for post-production flexibility. SLT cameras featured an innovative fixed translucent mirror that enabled continuous phase-detection autofocus during video recording and live view.

SR2 was used by Sony's SLT Alpha cameras including the full-frame SLT-A99 and APS-C models like the A77, A77 II, A65, A58, and A57. While newer Sony cameras use ARW format, SR2 files remain valuable archives from this innovative transitional period between DSLRs and mirrorless cameras.
JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) is the universal standard for photographic images, using lossy DCT-based compression to achieve 10:1 or higher compression ratios with minimal visible quality loss. First published in 1992, it supports 24-bit color and works across every device, browser, and application. The lossy nature means repeated editing and saving degrades quality—best used as a final delivery format.

JPEG excels at photographic content and remains the de facto standard for sharing, publishing, and web delivery. With mature encoders like MozJPEG delivering excellent quality-to-size ratios, JPEG continues to dominate despite newer alternatives.

Will I lose quality converting to JPG?
What settings are used for the conversion?
Conversion settings:
- White balance: Preserved from your camera's as-shot settings
- Exposure: Auto-brightness applied for optimal results
- Color space: sRGB with standard gamma curve for accurate web display
- JPEG quality: 90 — higher than typical web images
