How does the Camera app capture 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 a
icon
on a photo to indicate that there is a DNG RAW format version of the file.
