Hi,
when taking photos in RAW format with my Fp 3+ camera, the result is almost without color, but the related JPG is correct.
Is someone else experiencing this?
Thanks,
Patrick
I have some experience with RAW, both of my DSLRs are using it, and currently I am working almost daily with Lightroom.
I would normally expect a RAW file to deliver the colors with the same attributes as the (compressed) JPG, but not in this case.
In the histogram I see that the colors are there, but the picture is, indepedent of the software I am using to view them, almost monochrome.
Perhaps you may try to take a picture in RAW with your gear, and tell me about the results?
This night I will experiment a bit, and possibly report the results.
I am a strong supporter of Fairphone and the idea behind it, but I am currently in doubt of the camera’s quality, and especially the camera app …

Yes the raw image is/was very pale almost like over exposure.
I put one picture through Lightroom, and it worked out quite all right, but I am still a little confused about why the colors look so dull in the first place. I think my knowledge about color representation and processing is not good enough to evaluate it correctly, but I hope someday I will be enlightened … 
A jpeg picture normally gets quite enhanced… You’re “supposed to” develop a raw image, e.g. adjusting for camera characteristic, white balance (if not matching) sharpness and color saturation, among others. A raw picture is a form of general representation that needs to be transferred according to output destination (i.e. web, screen or paper). Shooting in raw requires you to develop a work flow, which i guess most of the time is overkill for normal smartphone pictures (imho)
