New versions of PhotoRaw and AccuRaw became available on the App Store today with support for the new Canon EOS 5D Mark IV.
New to the Canon EOS 5D Mark IV is what Canon are calling ‘Dual Pixel Raw’. This mode uses the sensor’s Dual Pixel photo sites to effectively record two 30MP fames from a single exposure. The resulting file can be adjusted in Canon’s Digital Photo Professional Software to slightly (very slightly!) shift the point of focus.
The good news is that AccuRaw and PhotoRaw will correctly read both the conventional single frame and the new two frame ‘Dual Pixel Raw’ image formats. However, be aware that neither AccuRaw or PhotoRaw can use the dual pixel information to micro-adjust focus, etc. Only Canon's DPP software can do that.
