dngPhotoDataRepresentation(forRawSampleBuffer:previewPhotoSampleBuffer:)

Returns data in digital negative (DNG) format corresponding to the captured RAW photo in the specified sample buffer.

Declaration

class func dngPhotoDataRepresentation(forRawSampleBuffer rawSampleBuffer: CMSampleBuffer, previewPhotoSampleBuffer: CMSampleBuffer?) -> Data?

Parameters

  • rawSampleBuffer:

    A sample buffer containing the RAW photo capture result to be formatted for output.

  • previewPhotoSampleBuffer:

    An optional additional sample buffer containing a preview-resolution version of the photo capture result, to be added to the DNG output as a thumbnail image. Pass nil to skip adding a preview image to the output.

Return Value

A data object containing a DNG representation of the requested photo capture results, or nil if the sample buffers cannot be packaged for output.

Discussion

After you request a photo capture with the capturePhoto(with:delegate:) method, the photo capture output delivers results to your delegate as one or more CMSampleBuffer objects. (See the photoOutput(_:didFinishProcessingRawPhoto:previewPhoto:resolvedSettings:bracketSettings:error:) method.) To repackage the sample buffer’s content for output as a DNG file, use this class method. Optionally, you can include metadata in the resulting DNG output by attaching it to the sample buffer before calling this method.
