MDC (Minolta Digital Camera) is the raw image format used by the Minolta RD-175 digital single-reflex camera. RD-175 stands for Reflex Digital and 1.75 megapixels. The camera is also known as the Agfa ActionCam.

Details

The camera has 3 CCD sensors: two for green (for resolution), and one for red and blue combined (for color information). The MDC file contains the data of the three sensors. To get an image the MDC files have to be converted with a dedicated software tool.
