capture_dng.py will save you a DNG file, which is a raw image format that can be loaded into image editing software ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Negative )

Hi, I’m not quite sure what you’re trying to do, the following line captures a raw image and stores the result in a numpy array:

raw = picam2.capture_array("raw")

Note that this data won’t have been demosaiced.

If you want to save a raw image to a file that can be loaded in an image editor capture_dng.py or capture_dng_and_jpeg.py might be more handy for you.
