About formats

RAF (RAW Format) is the proprietary RAW image format used by Fujifilm digital cameras, introduced in 2000 with the FinePix S1 Pro and continuing through the entire X-series mirrorless lineup and GFX medium-format system. RAF files capture the unprocessed readout from Fujifilm's image sensors — notably the SuperCCD, EXR, and X-Trans sensor designs — at 12 or 14 bits per channel, preserving the complete tonal and color information before any in-camera processing. What makes RAF distinctive among RAW formats is Fujifilm's X-Trans color filter array: instead of the standard 2x2 Bayer RGGB pattern used by virtually all other manufacturers, X-Trans uses a 6x6 semi-random pattern that distributes color samples more organically, reducing moire and false color without requiring an optical low-pass filter. RAF files from X-Trans sensors require specialized demosaicing algorithms that differ from standard Bayer processing. The format stores extensive metadata including Fujifilm's Film Simulation mode selection (Provia, Velvia, Astia, Classic Chrome, Acros, and others inspired by their analog film stocks), grain effect settings, dynamic range mode, and lens correction data for Fujinon XF and XC optics. One advantage is the Film Simulation heritage — Fujifilm's decades of film emulsion expertise informs the color science embedded in RAF metadata, and photographers can switch between film-inspired renderings during post-processing without quality loss. RAF files are supported by Adobe Lightroom, Capture One, Fujifilm's own X RAW Studio, dcraw, RawTherapee, and other major RAW processors.
Developer: Fujifilm
Initial release: 2000
SNB is a proprietary ebook format developed by Shanghai Nutshell Electronics, a subsidiary of Shanda Interactive Entertainment, for the Bambook e-reader launched in August 2010. The format is structurally based on EPUB principles, packaging HTML content, CSS styling, images, and metadata within a compressed archive, but uses a proprietary container that restricts native playback to Bambook devices and associated software. Shanda designed the Bambook and its SNB ecosystem as an integrated reading platform tied to the Cloudary literature portal (later rebranded as China Literature), one of China's largest online publishing networks hosting millions of web novels and serialized fiction. The format supported reflowable text, chapter navigation, bookmarks, and basic typographic controls suited to Chinese-language content display. One advantage was tight integration with Shanda's massive content catalog, providing readers instant access to an enormous library of Chinese-language literature directly through the device. The Bambook was initially offered at a heavily subsidized price point, using the content ecosystem to drive revenue — a model that preceded similar strategies by other e-reader manufacturers. While the Bambook hardware line was eventually discontinued as the Chinese market shifted toward tablet-based reading apps, SNB files from that era can be converted to standard formats using tools like Calibre with appropriate plugins. The format represents an interesting case study in platform-specific ebook ecosystems within the Chinese digital publishing landscape.
