About formats

ERF is the proprietary RAW image format used by Epson's digital rangefinder cameras, most notably the R-D1 released in 2004 — the world's first digital rangefinder camera — and its successors the R-D1s and R-D1x. ERF files capture the unprocessed 12-bit output from the camera's APS-C sized CCD sensor (a 6.1 megapixel Bayer-pattern chip), preserving the full dynamic range and color depth before demosaicing, white balance, or tone curve processing. The format uses a TIFF-based container structure with Epson-specific metadata tags that record shooting parameters, lens information (manually entered via the camera's aperture ring, since rangefinder lenses lack electronic contacts), and the camera's unique analog gauges display readings. The R-D1 series holds a special place in photographic history as the camera that brought digital capture to Leica M-mount rangefinder lenses, and ERF files from these cameras are prized by collectors and enthusiasts. One advantage is the unique rendering character: the combination of the CCD sensor's tonal response and the optical qualities of classic rangefinder lenses produces a distinctive look in ERF files that many photographers find closer to film than the output of CMOS-based cameras. Practical accessibility is another strength — despite the camera's rarity, ERF files are supported by Adobe Lightroom, Adobe Camera Raw, dcraw, RawTherapee, and other modern RAW processing software, ensuring these files remain fully usable with current tools.
Developer: Epson
Initial release: 2004
EPUB (Electronic Publication) is an open ebook standard originally developed by the International Digital Publishing Forum (IDPF) and now maintained by the W3C following the organizations' merger in 2017. The first version carrying the EPUB name was approved in October 2007 as a successor to the Open eBook Publication Structure (OEBPS). An EPUB file is essentially a ZIP archive containing XHTML or HTML5 content documents, CSS stylesheets, images, fonts, and metadata organized according to the Open Packaging Format and Open Container Format specifications. The current major version, EPUB 3, supports reflowable and fixed-layout content, embedded multimedia, JavaScript interactivity, MathML equations, and rich accessibility features including semantic markup and media overlays for synchronized text and audio. A defining advantage is universal device support — unlike proprietary formats, EPUB works natively on virtually every non-Kindle e-reader, tablet, and reading application, from Apple Books and Google Play Books to Kobo and dozens of third-party apps. The reflowable text model is another core strength, automatically adapting pagination, font size, and margins to match any screen dimension and user preference. EPUB's open specification and active W3C stewardship ensure long-term preservation and vendor independence, making it the de facto standard for digital publishing across libraries, academic institutions, and commercial retailers worldwide.
