[Leica] Experimenting with the iPhone

[Ken Carney]

George,

Mine is an iPhone SE, same camera as the 6s but much smaller build, like 
the iPhone 5.  To accomplish that, in a rare flash of good sense IMHO, 
Apple chose to make the front (selfie) camera much lower resolution.  I 
downloaded Lightroom Mobile, but could not find a way to use dng.  
Somewhere in the back pages, Apple states that you must first upgrade to 
iOS 10.  I did that and gained the ability to use dng (the camera app 
now gives a choice between jpg and dng).  As an aside, the FBI Special 
Agent in charge of cyber crime here gave a presentation to our firm, 
where he urged upgrading to the latest iOS because of serious security 
issues (that is all I know about software engineering.)  I still have 
not worked my way through syncing LR Mobile and LR Desktop. All I know 
is that after upgrading to iOS 10, a collection of synced photos has 
appeared on LR Desktop.  I have not been able to determine if these are 
source images or if those are still on the phone.  May the Schwartz be 
with you.

Ken

This is with iOS 10 shooting in raw (dng), and developed in Lightroom Mobile, although it escapes me why I would want to do that, as LR desktop is more user friendly (the phone syncs with LR desktop).  It makes a 12x16" print at 240px, at a file size of 70mb.  My phone reports that I have enough space left for 700 photos, plenty for emergency use.
