SRF file extension is used by RAW image files generated by Sony digital cameras. SRF file stores data in uncompressed and unprocessed form exactly as it was captured by the camera’s CMOS image sensor.
After converting the file to the new format, you will be able to use other programs to support it. Keep in mind, however, that the SRF file after converting to 8BIM may differ slightly from the original. The most important information should be kept, but if you want the file after conversion from SRF to 8BIM to be the same, you have to do this carefully and choose the proper application from the list below.
There is no guarantee, of course, that the conversion will come up to all your expectations, but it will certainly help you. If, after all, the effect of converting SRF to 8BIM does not meet your expectations, you can simply try to find on the Internet a different version of your file in SRF format, properly converted to a 8BIM file by someone else. If this fails, use the information provided in the further part of the website.
Unfortunately, if after performing the two previously described steps (trying to find your SRF file converted by someone else, and the attempt to convert it to 8BIM on your own) you still have a problem with your file, then there are only a few solutions left. You can once again try to find and install an application that can open the SRF file in its original format (without conversion to 8BIM file). Such a solution will be difficult to implement, but it certainly will give the best result.
