Codecs allow Windows and many applications to view your RAW files. They are provided and maintained by the camera manufacturers. You can find codecs for the files in your Gallery by going to the ‘File’ menu in the Photo Gallery, and pressing the ‘Check for updates’ button in the ‘Options Dialog’. If there are codecs available for files that you have in your Gallery, a web page will open with a link to download the codec. We also try to post a link to each manufacturer’s web site as they become available for your convenience. Try searching this blog for codecs and look for your camera manufacturer in the list.
