Steps to activate RAW format

Turn on the camera: Power on your PENTAX K30 by turning the power switch.
Access the main menu: Press the MENU button located on the back of the camera.
Open image quality settings: Navigate through the menu using the directional arrows until you find the Image Quality or Recording Format option.
Select RAW format: Choose RAW to save only in RAW, or RAW + JPEG if you want to have a JPEG copy in addition to the RAW file.
Confirm your choice: Press the OK or SET button to validate the selection.
Check the format: On the LCD screen, an indicator should confirm that RAW format is activated.
Take your photos: You can now take pictures normally, the images will be saved in RAW format.

RAW format retains all the raw data captured by the sensor, offering greater flexibility for retouching and editing images compared to JPEG. Make sure you have a memory card with enough space, as RAW files are larger.
