Adobe products All raw image file handling products from Adobe now support DNG. and
macOS).
Digital cameras and related software Use by camera manufacturers varies; there are about 15 camera manufacturers that use DNG, including a few that specialize in movie cameras: Android 5 or Windows 10 Mobile that are capable of shooting RAW images typically use DNG (e.g. Samsung and Nokia). • High-end Nokia (now Microsoft) Lumia smartphones like
Nokia Lumia Icon,
930,
950,
1020 and
1520, were the first smartphone cameras to support DNG files. • Samsung's high-end smartphones (Galaxy S6 or later) also uses DNG. •
Huawei Android phones using Leica-designed cameras (such as the Mate 9 and Mate 10 Pro) can save raw files to DNG format when shooting in "Pro" mode. • Niche camera manufacturers typically use DNG in new cameras (including a
digiscope,
panorama cameras, and at least one movie camera). The article on
raw image formats illustrates the complicated relationship between new raw image formats and third-party software developers. Using DNG provides immediate support for these cameras by a large range of software products. • Some low market share but conventional camera manufacturers use DNG in new cameras. Camera manufacturers that do not supply their own software for processing raw images typically, but not always, use DNG. •
Pentax typically offers users the option of whether to use Pentax's own raw image format (PEF) or DNG, but some, for example
Pentax Q, Q10 and Q7, do not support PEF. For example, the digital SLR Camera Pentax K-x does offer the ability to save PEF or DNG or even DNG+ which saves two files, a DNG and a separate JPEG file at the same time. • If a camera uses DNG, and that camera manufacturer supplies software, it will support DNG. It may support DNG only from their own cameras, or support it more generically. •
Canon,
Nikon,
Sony,
Panasonic,
Olympus and
Fuji do not use DNG in their cameras. If a camera manufacturer's cameras do not use DNG, its software is unlikely to support DNG unless that software is also sold independently of the cameras. Some
digital cameras that support DNG: •
Samsung supports DNG in their
Pro815 "
prosumer" camera and
GX-10 and
GX-20 DSLR cameras. • Sea&Sea DX‐1G underwater camera. •
Seitz Roundshot D3 digital back, used in cameras such as the 6×17. •
Sigma FP Native support, SD Quattro cameras support DNG but may require a firmware update. •
Silicon Imaging Silicon Imaging Digital Cinema SI-1920HDVR. •
Sinar now uses DNG as the
raw file standard for their eMotion series of digital backs. • Kron Technologies supports DNG in their Chronos 1.4 and Chronos 2.1-HD high speed cameras.
Apple's
iPhones and other
iOS devices expose an API for third-party apps such as Halide or Lightroom CC to capture DNG images. The native Camera app processes to
JPEG or
HEIF by default. The
iPhone 12 Pro/Pro Max and subsequent Pro and Pro Max models running
iOS 14.3 or later have the option to shoot pictures in DNG natively through ProRaw. Some of the Canon cameras can shoot as DNG using additional free software
CHDK. The built-in camera function in the Adobe Lightroom Mobile app saves to DNG format.
DJI supports DNG in its middle to high-end drones.
Third-party software Support by software suppliers varies; there are of the order of 200 software products that use DNG. The majority of raw handling software products support DNG. Most provide generic support, while a few support it only if it is output directly from a camera. The type of support varies considerably. There appear to be very few third-party software products that process raw images but don't support DNG. This may reflect the difficulty of discovering all of those that do not. ==Versions of the specification==
