I think you will also get into the area of needing a full mechanical aperture?

Well, IMHO that is too much for an smartphone that never will do the DSLR/Mirrorless performance due it size. Is better and cheaper put a phone into a DSLR/Mirrorless camera xD

I’m not going to bother approaching anyone about it! I also dislike incorrect use of lower case / upper case letters in ordinary use, such as iPhone v Iphone, adidas v Adidas, etc., but meh.

We have both been here long enough to know when we wish to either offer advice or raise a comment (when you little expect any form of interjection) are our purest of intent. As such I am surprised you make the comment on mere grammatical content!

Is there any pc app that takes full advantage of proraw?

It’s intended for anything that reads DNG.

I believe I read Lightroom is getting or has gotten an update. Google will tell you for sure tho.

Obviously that would be better. Imagine a full frame with a m1 chip. It would be the best camera on the planet

But you did approach thousands of people about it here, twice.

I don’t know what’s up with the RAW vs raw format, is it an acronym? File extension? Same with .png vs .PNG... wonder what dictates the all caps use. On the PNG case, it is Portable Network Graphics however some apps write it as .png and others as .PNG... as file extension naming conventions go, it does bother seeing filenames cases mismatches.

“RAW” is a shorthand for “I’m referring to an image format like DNG”. If you write it in lower case, it’s far more ambiguous. “I’m shooting RAW” and “does it support RAW” are quite clear. It also puts it more in the vein of other formats: JPEG, PNG, TIFF, … So while it’s technically a meaningless acronym that doesn’t expand to anything, it’s useful to distinguish.

This might be a new use of “approaching” like some people use “reaching out” when they mean “contacting”. It was just a passive comment, not an offer.

There are many image formats for raw image data, depending on to the proprietor, but raw just means raw, and isn’t an acronym or a file extension. Extensions are usually written in lower case after the dot, as is normal for file names, but most image formats have acronyms.

So sick of seeing people write raw in all caps.

PETAPIXEL does so, and Apple is using a proprietary format that isn't exactly a RAW format, but a modified .dng file.

I'd say unless you use .raw, the caps of RAW make it a more distinguishable word to designate an actual format.
