Import RAWs using Camera Raw

Android phone: is there a way to import on phone photos in RAW format instead of JPG using Camera Connect?

Greetings,

While you can't do this natively in the CC App like in iOS, you can use a card reader and USB to USB-C cable to copy RAW files to your Android phone manually.  The Android Photos App supports RAW format.  You can also set the Camera App to shoot in RAW.  I'm running Android 16 but I tested this under Android 15 last year successfully.

FYI, Camera Raw is an Adobe product so if you have a question about it the information above doesn't apply.  However I believe your question is in regards to transferring RAW files to your Android phone.  😉 if I have misunderstood please let me know.

Camera Connect & Control is the name of the third-party app that allows you to import raw files over WiFi.

thegios,

Not Canon's Camera Connect, but, as Peter mentioned, I personally use an app called Camera Connect and Control.

It imports RAW files and shows you a thumbnail which you can download to your device. The app sits on your Google account, which means your can use it across different devices. I use it on both my phone and my tablet. It's a paid app, and I think the latest cost was around $20.00. You can get it from the Google Play Store.
