Dredging this topic back up, as I still don't understand!
I took some AEB JPG+DNG photos today. I've downloaded them to my pc and I'm looking at the properties of the same picture; one in jpg and one in dng.
JPEG: 3.7Mb, 4000x2250 pixels, 72 dpi, 24 bit depth, lots of camera setting info and gps data. Camera maker: Autel Robotics Co., Ltd. Camera model: XB004
DNG: 17.6mB, 960X540 pixels, 96 dpi, 24 bit depth. No camera setting info or gps data. Camera maker: Autel. Camera model: Model 323
I open each file in irfanview64 with the DNG plugin. At 100% zoom on a 1080p monitor the jpeg is huge and clear; the dng is small and mostly clear. at 500% zoom, the jpeg is a bit blurry, and the dng is terrible. The first attached clip is a screen-grab of the dng at 500% zoom; the second is of the jpg at 500% zoom.
I don't understand how opening the DNG in an image editing program could make the dng somehow spring to life? Not working for me...
