Raw image files are not a single file format, but includes proprietary Raw image files like .3fr (Hasselblad), .crw .cr2 (Canon), .mrw (Minolta), .nef .nrw (Nikon), .orf (Olympus), .pef .ptx (Pentax), .raw .rwl .dng (Leica) and many more.

Microsoft in the Camera Codec Pack download page has not mentioned which Raw image files extensions will be supported but has mentioned Brand names and Models like the EOS series of Canon, all D series of Nikon, some specific models of Sony, Olympus, Leica, Minolta, Epson and Panasonic.

Only for Pentax, it is clearly mentioned “PEF formats only” that means only .pef Raw Image Format will be supported NOT .ptx Raw Image Format. There is no mention of Hasselblad (.3fr).

 

Microsoft and Raw Image Format Files

Microsoft’s Digital Image 2006 supported Raw Image Format of .crw, .cr2, and .nef (Nikon and Canon). Windows XP and Vista both supported the Raw Image Format files of Windows Imaging Component codec standard.

Practically the DSLR users who uses Microsoft Windows, either use these camera manufacturers’ proprietary software or Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Lightroom to view and edit Raw Image Format files. Hasselblad’s Phocus (free) however can read Hasselblad’s Raw Image Format (.3fr) as well as Raw Image Format files of other brands.
