What camera settings may affect a RAW photo?

Question

I know this is too general question, but I'll give it a try..


About an hour research in photo.SE, I found some question, that are related to this one:

Shutter speed and aperture are obvious, of course.


What other settings may affect a RAW photo?

Answer

settings which influence actual exposure:

  • shooting mode TV,AV,M etc.
  • shutter speed
  • aperture
  • ISO
  • exposure compensation
  • safety shift (Canon)
  • flash (on/off)
  • flash exposure compensation
  • active D lighting (Nikon) - affects raw capture by underexposing for highlights
  • exposure bracketing
  • exposure lock
  • metering mode
  • focus screen setting (telling the camera which screen you're using affects metering reading)

others

  • mirror lock-up
  • image stabilisation
  • long exposure noise reduction
  • any setting which relates to the AF system
  • raw image size e.g. medium raw, small raw
  • crop mode (Nikon)
  • sensor cleaning
  • focus microadjust
