Once this is implemented, we can consider implementing saving in other formats like AVIF when RAW support is available by converting from the bitmap provided by the RAW format.

CameraX is the abstraction of Camera2 and even Camera1 APIs made with far better integration, ease of use, portability, and even compatibility with legacy / broken devices instead of having the developers themselves hardwire quirks and workarounds and use very complex APIs that come with Camera2/1.

Here's a feature request filed on CameraX's issue tracker related to this issue - https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/177918194

The CameraX team has accepted this issue and we should have something that can be used to get access to RAW/DNG to support custom formats and requirements in their upcoming releases
