RAW Capture, Remotely

Short answer

Remote RAW capture saves uncompressed DNG or Apple ProRaw files from a phone you control from anywhere, instead of a baked JPG. With CLOS the files come straight off the real sensor and land in the cloud as you shoot, giving retouchers full latitude for exposure, color, and detail. RAW and ProRaw are Pro features, alongside telephoto, ultra-wide, ISO, shutter speed, and white balance.

Key takeaways

  • Capture DNG and Apple ProRaw from a remote iPhone or Android
  • Full sensor data for exposure, color, and detail recovery in post
  • RAW and ProRaw are Pro features, not part of the Free tier
  • Files reach CLOS Cloud in real time for immediate review

Editorial-grade files, captured at a distance

When a shoot has to hold up to retouching, JPG is not enough. CLOS captures RAW in DNG and Apple ProRaw directly from the phone's sensor, so your retoucher gets the headroom to recover highlights, fix color, and sharpen detail without artifacts.

RAW and ProRaw live on Pro and Enterprise plans, together with telephoto and ultra-wide lenses and manual ISO, shutter speed, and white balance. That combination lets a remote operator deliver files that match an in-studio capture.

From sensor to cloud while you shoot

Every RAW frame lands in CLOS Cloud the moment it is captured, so an art director can flag the keepers before the subject has even changed pose. There is no waiting for a card to be handed over or a folder to be uploaded after the fact.

RAW files are larger than JPG, so storage matters. The Free tier includes 1 GB, while Pro tiers scale from 5 GB up to 1 TB to hold a full RAW shoot.
