About formats

MEF is the proprietary RAW image format used by Mamiya medium-format digital cameras, introduced with the Mamiya ZD in 2004 and continued through subsequent models including the DM series. MEF files capture the unprocessed output from Mamiya's large-area CCD sensors — typically 48x36mm or larger — at 16 bits per channel, preserving the full dynamic range and color depth of the medium-format sensor before any demosaicing, white balance, or tonal processing takes place. The format uses a TIFF-based container that stores the raw Bayer-pattern data alongside embedded JPEG previews and extensive EXIF metadata including Mamiya lens identification, shutter speed, aperture, and metering information. Mamiya (later reorganized as Mamiya Digital Imaging and eventually merged into Phase One's operations) has a legacy stretching back to 1940 in medium-format film photography, and the MEF format represents the digital continuation of that tradition. One advantage is the medium-format sensor's inherent imaging qualities: the larger sensor area captures more light per pixel, producing lower noise floors, smoother tonal gradations, and a shallower depth-of-field rendering that medium-format photographers value for portrait, fashion, and landscape work. RAW flexibility is another practical strength — MEF files processed in Adobe Lightroom, Capture One, or dcraw allow photographers to apply modern demosaicing and noise reduction algorithms to these sensors, often extracting noticeably better results than the camera's original processing offered.

DOC is the binary document format of Microsoft Word), the word processor first released in October 1983 for MS-DOS and later becoming the dominant document creation tool worldwide. The format stores documents as OLE2 compound document files — a binary container with multiple internal streams holding text content, formatting information, embedded objects, macros, and metadata. The text stream uses a complex system of formatting runs, section descriptors, paragraph and character property tables, and style definitions to represent arbitrarily complex document layouts including columns, headers, footnotes, tables, floating images, tracked changes, and mail merge fields. The format evolved substantially through Word versions, with Word 97 establishing the binary structure that remained standard through Word 2003 and created the .doc files most commonly encountered today. One advantage is near-universal compatibility — DOC files can be opened by virtually every word processor and document viewer across all platforms, from Microsoft Office to LibreOffice, Google Docs, and Apple Pages. The format's rich feature support is another strength: DOC handles complex layouts, embedded OLE objects, VBA macros, and revision tracking that power enterprise document workflows. Although Microsoft introduced the XML-based DOCX format with Office 2007, DOC remains heavily present in existing document archives and continues to be produced by organizations maintaining compatibility with older Word installations.
