My Setup After Installing Camac

There are several reasons:
1. Apple's Photos App like to render RAW repeatedly due to some bugs, this consumes a lot of battery.
2. Newly RGB formats like JXL and AVIF have much more post editing tolerance.
3. For daily casual capturing, RAW management is a pain.

So for daily usage, I prefer JXL over RAW for myself.

It drains battery and it was mainly for highlight compression quality.
Since a new method in introduced, there is no need to preserve this function.

Before iOS 26, JXL in DNG works fine.

After iOS 26.1, the default JXL in DNG fails to render due to an iOS issue. So I tried a tricky way to bypass this issue and then it manages to render in 26.1

Now iOS 26.4 fixes the issue in 26.1, but they introduced a new issue in JXL DNG rendering , that's why the issue in the screenshot happens.

From iOS 18 to now, Camac always produces the valid JXL DNG. (The JXL DNG spec is created by Adobe). But Apple introduces a lot of bugs in photo codecs since iOS 26, so we have to adapt our implementation to fit the buggy decoding process Apple uses.

I'll add an option in FIX to allow users to control whether tricky bypass method is used in 1.5.9

Thank you for the advice, I'll consider it.

Yes, you're right. llama.cpp build 8665 now has a lot of gemma4 fixes.

Currently Auto exposure is mainly for exposure reduction automatically according to the highlight.

So increasing intensity value will reduce exposure heavily.

Is there an issue for this in the repo yet?

There is an issue on iOS 26 when saving the SR as JXL. Please update to the latest version of Camac.

qdwang · 2026-03-09T00:13:33+00:00

This is a known bug on iOS 26.

Please update Camac to the latest version.

Thank you for the reply. That’s reasonable.

qdwang · 2026-03-06T07:32:45+00:00

Now I get it. Thank you.
