Pentax Electronic File (.pef)

The PEF (Pentax Electronic File) is a raw image format used by Pentax digital cameras, storing unprocessed data directly from the camera's sensor. This format retains all captured information, offering greater flexibility for post-processing and high-quality image editing. PEF files are similar to other raw formats like CR2 and NEF and are typically edited using specialized software such as Adobe Photoshop or Pentax's Digital Camera Utility.
