I can’t view DNG files on my phone when tethered to a Mac. Why?
Function
LG G4 allows you to capture images in a RAW format in Manual Mode. RAW image files are
not compressed and can be enhanced with a professional photo editing software.
Symptom
When the phone is tethered to a Mac, RAW or DNG files in an internal storage
or SD card may not be visible as G4 does not support DNG files.
