How can I set my camera to shoot raw? I'm new to photography thanks for any help.
Your manual will explain it.

Perhaps you should give some thought to reading the manual.
I kinda get the impression that YOU don't need to shoot in RAW just yet… Sure RAW files allow you much more freedom in editing and capture much more info than JPegs BUT if you aren't shooting on a commercial level and you aren't planning to display your shots in a gallery then stick with JPeg for now… Sometimes keeping it simple isn't a bad idea… I haven't ever shot using RAW, JPeg files are quicker and easier to work with if somebody wants your files in a hurry.
You have obviously spent no time with the camera user manual, and even if you get the camera into RAW, I highly doubt you have the knowledge about what the format even is or what you do with the files after shooting them. As said earlier, you better stick with Jpeg until your knowledge and skill level is up… Considerably. I wish I had $5 for every person on here crying about why they can't see RAW photos they have taken and are absolutely clueless about how to process and save the files into a usable format.
It is in the camera photo quality settings. You must take the camera off green box auto to be able to use RAW.
And, as has been said several times, RTFM. If you are not familiar with that term, Google is your friend too.
Read the manual.
All of your answers are in the manual.
