Thanks.

Yes, RAW DNG mode is supported, but only if you use manual photo capturing.

Thanks for info.

Are GCAM RAW DNG files 27mp from the main cam, or are they 108mp?

I would assume the sensor takes binned photos by default, but can someone confirm with a GCAM to take some raw dng photos?
Even better.. if anyone has DNGs from GCAM for download that would be great.
thanks!

The output of the main cam is 27mp. 108mp raw stream doesn't work currently, though that might change in the future.
I'll take a random shot and post the dng in a reply.

Question Question about Methods to use the 48MP sensor in other apps outside the original Cam App

Hi since yesterday i know a problem with my A127f , if i use other apps to get pictures from cam, i'ts not posible to select the 48 MP sensor.
In detail i use DocSan - an application which helps to scan books etc. because of the Size of the book high resolution is necessary. If the pictures from cam is taken only 2 cams are for example selectable in openCam. So the question for me is how to get high resolution Pictures outside the original cam app.
Also i ask me if a alternative firmware would help, at this time my Handy has the newest origin samsung firmware.
It would really interesting if someone has experience how to get access to 48MP Cam, or if someone know that it is not possible.
Best regards, Frank

Question Does this camera do raw dng photo at all? And what sensor?

Anyone know if raw dng photo capture is capable on this phone? And anyone know what sensor is used? The stock app does not seem to offer raw. It would be unfortunate if raw is not supported. Presumably the sensor is decent but Samsung stock software is usual not very good. 3rd party camera software rules, if raw is capable.

I tried using the pro shot app in the play store. No luck. There is a Samsung system app that crashes when trying to take a raw picture. Kind of annoying, I really would like to be able to take raw pictures because I use Lightroom to clean things up. Cleaning up a jpeg in the edit app on the camera/gallery pretty much destroys the quality by double compressing.
This is really frustrating because I'm sure the camera sensor is capable of taking raw images it's almost like Samsung is trying to prevent it at the OS level just to prevent people from having a good camera feature in a mid-range phone.

No RAW. You can download the Camera 2 API Prober to see all the feature it supports. It supports Camera 2 Limited (Full or Level 3 are better).
Yes, Samsung limited it at the system level, the processing is done by the kernel and the software only receives the result in JPG or HEIF. That's why you can't really use other camera apps to improve the results either.

The main camera (f/1.8, 0.8µm and around 1/1.7X" sensor size with PDAF and OIS) can either use a Samsung s5kgw1p sensor, commonly known as the GW1 or a Sony IMX682.

No camera2api LVL3/FULL support. Disappointing. Is there any way to port it?

Question Expert Raw 50Mpx RAW

Hello everyone,
Is it possible to tweak, bring 50MPX raw from the S23 Ultra for S22 Ultra? Or even 24Mpx would be great.
Thanks

none ?

I believe you only have two options, or 12 or 100 mpx maybe some additional app from the play store ?

I got an Update yesterday, bringing OneUI 5.1 and Expert RAW and many more features from S23 Ultra to S22 Ultra. Check for Updates maybe

The 3:4,108MP option is not available in Expert RAW.

Choose in the normal camera save raw and then 108MP and you get a jpg and dng file for each photo. Sadly Pro mode is locked at 12MP.

Yes it locks to 12Mpx in Expert Raw, so that's why I asked if someone can tweak it to make 50Mpx possible like S23Ultra, or at least 24Mpx...

"Normal" camera mode does not save any image in DNG. Only Expert RAW and Pro mode does. The phone does not save any images taken using the 3:4, 108MP mode in DNG; only JPG.
