Mamiya Electronic Format (.mef)

The Mamiya Electronic Format (MEF) is a raw image file format used by Mamiya digital cameras to store unprocessed and uncompressed image data directly from the camera sensor. Introduced in the mid-2000s, MEF files maintain the original scene's dynamic range and quality, allowing professional photographers extensive post-processing control. These files are typically large due to their uncompressed nature and include vital metadata such as exposure settings and white balance. MEF files are commonly edited using specialized software like Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom.

The CAL file extension, known as CALS (Continuous Acquisition and Life-cycle Support) Type 1 Image, is a 1-bit black-and-white raster image format developed by the U.S. Department of Defense in the mid-1980s to standardize graphics data interchange for military documentation. It is primarily used for storing and sharing monochrome images while retaining orientation metadata. The format supports both uncompressed and compressed (using CCITT Group 4 compression) images.
