DNG

The iPhone 12 Pro boasts more dynamic range than the Canon EOS R5 in iOS beta

Apple recently announced the developer beta for iOS 14.3 which brings with it Apple’s new ProRAW photo feature. iPhones have actually had DNG RAW capabilities since iOS 10, but it’s never offered this capability in the built-in camera app before. You’ve always had to go for third party solutions, like Camera+ or Lightroom.

But now, Apple is implementing it in their own camera app and they’re calling it “ProRAW”. And according to PetaPixel, the cameras within the iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max will allow it to capture 12-bit DNG files with up to 14-stops of dynamic range. Other than the capabilities of the actual camera module itself, though, I’m not sure what it offers that iPhone users couldn’t do already.

How to smoothly edit 8K RAW timelapse in DaVinci Resolve without converting to jpg

Even though many cameras offer built-in timelapse features that automatically process your images and spit out a single mp4 file at the end of it, a lot of photographers prefer to shoot a big series of raw files, process them ourselves, and then edit them together on the desktop. It gives us a lot more control and results in better quality.

But that can be a slow and painstaking process. And most editing software isn’t built for editing such large image sequences. DaVinci Resolve, however, has a little trick up its sleeve that’ll let you edit raw image sequences with ease. And it’s all thanks to CinemaDNG support. The workflow is detailed in this video from District 7.

Magic Lantern makes Canon shoot Lossless 14-bit DNGs right in camera

Here is something that can have a huge impact on how Canon shooters will aces their files. Up till now, they were dependant on Canon’s proprietary raw format – CR2. But a recent proof of concept from Magic Lantern shows that Canon bodies can shoot DNG right inside the camera.

As a short recap, each camera maker has their own closed proprietary format in which the provide RAW files. Canon uses CR2, Nikon has NEF, Sony uses ARW and so on. The thing is that each of those formats are proprietary. Adobe DNG, on the other hand is open, light and releases software makers from their dependency on camera makers.

Magic Lantern used “a1ex” (who seems to be very active in ML development) released a proof of concept snippet of code that makes Canon cameras save DNG files rather than CR2 files.

Adobe Lightroom Mobile adds Raw DNG capture in latest update for iOS10

We knew it was coming. Adobe added raw support to Lightroom Mobile a little while ago for shots made with DSLRs. The newly released iOS10 also brings raw support to the iPhone’s built in camera. Although the iOS10 native camera app doesn’t yet support it, 3rd party developers have been quick to jump on the feature. So, it’s hardly surprising that Adobe are amongst the first.

There is a caveat, though. To capture in DNG raw, you will need a device running iOS10 that has a 12MP sensor. This list includes the iPhone 6s, 6s Plus, SE, 7, 7 Plus and iPad Pro 9.7. This means that 5, 5C, 5S, 6 and 6 Plus owners are going to be out of luck, despite being able to run iOS10. This is a limitation created by Apple, though, so don’t give Adobe too hard a time about that.
