 @a6ff0b2b @0616686e You can, but only as long as you’re capturing proRAW and have specifically enabled it - @3d174fcc actually asked the relevant question in the section of the ATP show we’re all referencing (whether you always take photos in 48MP proRAW), but it didn’t get addressed.

 @a6ff0b2b @0616686e That’s not true - if the phone throws away 75% of the pixels (by binning down to 12MP at 1x zoom), those *also* can’t be recovered later. There are two orthogonal concerns, but they point the same direction: if you capture at 1x and crop after, you both: a) lose the processing the phone does with the multiple frames and b) lose the unbinned full resolution. For the purpose of exposure / amount of light being captured it doesn’t matter, but it *does* lower the resolution.
