Re: [android-developers] Question: Is it possible to get the RAW camera data?

Cameras should support one or more of the ImageFormat types:

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/graphics/ImageFormat.html

as determined by calling getSupportedPictureFormats() on
Camera.Parameters. setPictureFormat() on Camera indicates that Android
supports JPEG, NV21, and RGB_565.

I am no expert on image formats, so I have no idea if any of them
qualify for any of the available definitions of "raw":
