Been getting slightly frustrated of late, wondering why I was unable to get full-res jpegs from the S5 Pro's Super CCD sensor after RAF conversion. Seems that latest versions of Lightroom (and Capture One) are unable to recognise the 'R' pixels from the sensor and dump them, giving only 6MP resolution after conversion. JPEGs are unaffected as the conversions are done in camera of course.
Anyway, had a tip from a fellow S5 Pro user on Facebook today who states that earlier versions of LR do recognise the RAF files and output the correct value. My 2009 MacBook runs LRCC (2015.14 release). The resulting DR is quite an eye-opener - not for the shadow recovery but the highlights which, within sensible reason, are unburstable. For a 16 year old camera it's not bad going.

I’m not scared of dinosaursProbably because they're basically dinosaurs.
