Hi folks,
I was excited about the S9+ because of the camera's ability to shoot in DNG format which will provide much better image quality when edited in Lightroom than the default .jpg files, but also the fact that it has a 2X optical zoom.
I'm finding after a little experimentation that shooting DNG does not seem to work properly when using any level of zoom at all.
If I use the S9+'s auto mode to zoom to 2X optical, then switch to Pro mode, make my settings and take the shot, I find that the resulting DNG image is not made at the 2X zoom, but at 1X. The .jpg will be rendered at the proper 2x optical zoom in which the shot was taken, but the DNG image is only 1x, which means I need to crop the pic in order to get the desired composition, and the resulting image is much lower resolution than it ought to be.
I suppose I could just stick the phone in people's faces, but that kind of defeats the purpose, doesn't it? Anyone else seen this behavior, or got a workaround?
Thanks for listening,
ianc
