No Raw mode in an iPad mini 4

Hello. I use an iPad mini 4 with the latest version of Lightroom for iPad (4.3.1) but when I use the camera, I don't have the possibility to shoot in Raw mode. Only the JPG mode appears on the left and I can't switch to Raw by clicking on it. Is there any reason? Thank you very much in advance for your answer.

Hello,

Actually, iPads running Lightroom can capture DNG and HDR images as long as they have 12 megapixel cameras.  This essentially means only iPad Pro's can capture DNGs and HDRs in the Lightroom app.  This is a hardware requirement, which unfortunately doesn't include the iPad Mini 4.  For this and other info, please see the FAQ here: Common questions about Adobe Photoshop Lightroom for mobile and Apple TV

How can I tell if my iPhone or iPad supports capturing in the Adobe DNG format

Beginning with version 2.5, Adobe Photoshop Lightroom for mobile (iOS) supports DNG raw image capture on any iPhone or iPad device that has at least a 12-megapixel camera, running at iOS 10.0 or newer.

Hi flaberguest,

Raw capture isn't supported on iPads.
