Save in RAW format to ensure high quality and prevent distortion

Up to now most of our photos taken with cell phones or tablets have been stored in common formats like JPG, PNG, GIF, etc.d. Given the limited color reproduction of conventional displays when playing back images, photos are compressed to a certain standard to ensure their quality display and less storage. However, when users need to output pictures for large format printing they are often unpleasantly surprised by the sudden loss of detail and color. Now iOS 10 supports RAW files, which provides full preservation of image quality with a wide color gamut, as well as easy processing of photos with increased or decreased exposure it is now possible to optimize them with better quality after such photos were taken. RAW files, on the other hand, have a drawback the files are larger in size and also have higher hardware requirements. And while the iPhone 7 series has a minimum storage capacity of 32 GB, we can already foresee that the demand for external storage will only grow.

Performance of your choice

PhotoFast meets iPhone users’ expectations by introducing the CR-8710 SD card reader for Apple gadgets. New device comes in matte black to match most professional DSLR cameras. Enjoy ultra-high resolution 4K 60P video footage, while saving RAW photos on a memory card that meets your needs. User can choose the device with the right amount of memory to store data, rewrite it at high speed, and back it up.

Post great pictures taken with a DSLR camera

Warren Wang, CEO of PhotoFast, commented on the new product: “DSLR sales have always been fairly stable, but the share of sales of other consumer-grade cameras has dropped sharply in the global market as daily photos taken with the iPhone have become more popular among users. Now that Apple has ensured that photos are saved in their original RAW format and ultra-high resolution 4K 60P video recorded with the iPhone 7 Plus, I can only assume that iPhone memory, even with even more capacity, won’t be enough. Mr. Ouang further added: “So we are pleased to introduce the CR-8710 SD card reader for Apple products, which will provide users with convenient two-way backup and file transfer. We’ve also worked hard to create the CameraRoll + App so not only can you back up your SD card and RAW files, but you can get direct access to your DSLR photos on your iPhone and post them on Facebook, too. The shots of fireworks you post on Facebook on New Year’s Eve will outshine everyone else, that’s for sure.”.

The exclusive CameraRoll + App provides two-way backup and also supports 360° panoramic images

The CR-8710 SD card reader, combined with PhotoFast’s exclusive CameraRoll + App, makes it easy to back up your photos and RAW files on your SD card. Delete unwanted photos and free up more space on your iPhone. Also, use the iPhone to access a variety of file formats, including RAW files stored on an SD card from digital cameras and drones.
