Sorry this has been asked and answered before here How to capture raw image from android camera , but I would like to have a different opinion.

Indeed I am not convinced that an image saved as .bmp is actually a raw image.

The above mentioned thread arguments that passing 

Camera.Parameters parameters=previe.camera.getParameters();
parameters.set("rawsave-mode", "1");

Will give 10 bit RAW pictures, but from http://www.luminous-landscape.com/tutorials/understanding-series/u-raw-files.shtml I read that RAW should be 12 bit.

Additionally form Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raw_image_format none of the mentioned RAW formats include .bmp extension.

Please if somebody could clarify or give any contribution that would be very much appreciated!

Thanks!

  • Please do not close the question, it is my opinion that the subjects needs to be discussed more in depth. The "possible duplicate" might not contain the definitive answer. Thanks – Lisa Anne Jun 01 '13 at 22:22
  • In that case, shouldn't you at least present some arguments for _why_ the answer doesn't convince you? What tests have you performed that indicate otherwise, etc? – Michael Jun 01 '13 at 22:30
