DNG iphone import on lightroom: dark photos

[okola]

When I import my photos from my iphone 14 on lightroom classic 2020, the pictures arrive but become much darker... I didn't have this problem with my pictures coming from a nikon in Raw files. How to fix this problem?

Are you shooting Apple proRAW images or just plain HEIC. With the proRAW images you want to make sure your raw preferences are set to respect the camera settings (it's in settings -> presets).

I am in apple proraw in my Iphone. Hight efficiency..
I want DNG like that in lightroom..

I have to change something?

Upload a sample (use a service like dropbox for the proraw file) to show the problem if you want so people here can take a look but I am pretty sure this is just the raw defaults.

In Classic you need to change the setting in the Settings menu for Raw defaults. Set the Global setting to "camera settings". For new images this will make the proRAW files look more like how they are rendered on your phone. For already imported files hit reset or apply the camera settings preset. Otherwise Lightroom just renders the raw data using the Adobe default which does not apply a profile to make the raw rednering look like what your camera did. proRAW files are not the same as dng shot using the Lightroom app's camera on your phone. proRAW embeds a separate mask that your phone generates that tells Apple apps how to render the data. Lightroom ignores this by default and just renders the raw data plain.
