Pentax RAW (PEF), short for Pentax Electronic Format, is the proprietary raw file format used by Pentax digital SLR cameras. Built on the TIFF structure, a PEF stores the sensor’s full output without any in-camera processing, alongside metadata for the lens, ISO, and exposure. Pentax cameras can also record raw as DNG, and many photographers choose that setting for broader compatibility.

 

How to open a Pentax RAW file?

Ricoh supplies the Digital Camera Utility with Pentax bodies, and it is the reference tool for developing PEF files with the manufacturer’s own colour rendering.

 

Adobe Lightroom, Adobe Camera Raw, RawTherapee, and darktable all read PEF as well. If a program refuses the file, running it through the Adobe DNG Converter almost always solves the problem.
