Title: Some New Samsung Phones Support RAW on Telephoto Lenses
Post by: John Hollenberg on April 18, 2022, 02:53:57 pm
I just found out there is a new Samsung app called Expert RAW that supports RAW for telephoto and super telephoto lenses on a few select top tier cameras.  Fortunately for me, the Samsung S21 Ultra is one of those phones.  ;D

Other supported phones include all of the S22 phones and eventually the S20 Ultra and Note 20 Ultra.

I haven't used my iPhone for ages, and stopped recharging my pre-paid plan on my old phone in order to save money. I prefer sitting at my desk-top computer when on the internet. However, for the sake of a possible emergency, when trekking in the hills and getting lost or having an accident, for example, I decided to start using one again.

Since I'm interested in photography, I searched the internet for the mobile phone with the best camera. The Samsung S22 Ultra currently seems to have the best camera, so I bought it a few days ago at a Christmas-sale discount.

The features that impress me include an amazing 108 mp camera sensor; the ability to capture RAW images in DNG format, and an optical zoom capacity ranging from ultrawide to 10x zoom, using different lenses. This is an android smart phone with a group of 5 lenses at the back.
Since I don't have much experience with mobile phones, I'd appreciate it if anyone reading this, who is familiar with the Samsung S22 Ultra, could provide some advice. I had quite a bit of trouble setting up the system. I even experienced difficulty inserting the nano sim card into the phone, and also initial difficulty in transfering the DNG files to my computer for processing in Photoshop.

However, that is now done, and I've started taking photos, comparing my processed DNG files with the OOC jpegs. My processed DNGs are, of course, much better.  ;)
