or later and that have a Lightning connector, and with some Android phones that have a USB-C connector. For proper connection between the mobile device and the DxO ONE, a case that does not occlude the area around the Lightning Connector is necessary. The DxO ONE can be used by itself, with its rear OLED screen allowing the user to switch between photo and video, but not to preview the image. For desktop processing of raw and SuperRAW images, an Apple Mac or Windows computer is required. Images are transferred using a separate application, DxO Connect, via microUSB cable (or by directly using the microSD card that was used in the camera). Apple added support for processing DxO ONE raw files in Digital Camera Raw 6.17 and Adobe added support for them in Camera Raw 9.2.
