RAW Photos
The Camera app captures a photo in both the DNG RAW format and JPG format.
Digital Negative (DNG) is an open-standard lossless RAW image format. Since a RAW file is typically 2 to
6 times larger than a JPEG file and is not viewable in most photo viewer apps, a photo is captured in both
DNG and JPG formats. When you use the Google Photos app, you’ll see the JPG copy of the photo, with
a icon to indicate that there is a DNG RAW format of that photo.
RAW photos are not processed when captured to preserve most of the original image data—such as
dynamic range—so you can adjust lighting or make professional adjustments using advanced editing
tools. After making adjustments, save the RAW photo as a JPG file if you want to print or share it.
