Enabling RAW mode on Olympus 40x0 cameras

Found instruction on how to change the Olympus Camedia 4040 to shoot RAW image at Olympus C4040z digital camera resource:


  1. Set camera mode to PC-controlling by opening card holder door and pressing menu and Quick View button simultaneously for a few seconds.
  2. Connect camera to USB and run Cam2Com or PTC Camera Controller.
  3. Go to Camera info and change "OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA" to "DIAG RAW".
  4. Disable PC control mode.
  5. Take picture :-) Camera will save 2 jpg files. One is real jpg, another one is 5800 Kb RAW.

Apparently the Olympus 4040 RAW file has exactly the same format as the Nikon CoolPix RAW file.

To decode the RAW files, you can use Raw Digital Photo Decoding in Linux or RAW to NEF Converter for Windows.
