# init(rawPixelFormatType:processedFormat:) Creates a photo settings object for capture in both RAW format and a processed format. ``` convenience init(rawPixelFormatType: OSType, processedFormat: [String : Any]?) ``` ## Parameters `rawPixelFormatType` The Bayer RAW pixel format type to use for capture. This value must be one of the format identifiers listed in the [`availableRawPhotoPixelFormatTypes`](/documentation/AVFoundation/AVCapturePhotoOutput/availableRawPhotoPixelFormatTypes-5fatm) array of your photo capture output. `processedFormat` A dictionary of Core Video pixel buffer attributes or AVFoundation video settings constants (see `Video Settings`). To capture a photo in an uncompressed format, such as 420f, 420v, or BGRA, set the key in the `format` dictionary. The corresponding value must be one of the pixel format identifiers listed in the [`availablePhotoPixelFormatTypes`](/documentation/AVFoundation/AVCapturePhotoOutput/availablePhotoPixelFormatTypes-6eyb) array of your photo capture output. To capture a photo in a compressed format, such as JPEG, set the key [`AVVideoCodecKey`](/documentation/AVFoundation/AVVideoCodecKey) in the `format` dictionary. The corresponding value must be one of the codec identifiers listed in the [`availablePhotoCodecTypes`](/documentation/AVFoundation/AVCapturePhotoOutput/availablePhotoCodecTypes) array of your photo capture output. For a compressed format, you can also specify a compression level with the key [`AVVideoQualityKey`](/documentation/AVFoundation/AVVideoQualityKey) . ## Return Value A new photo settings object. ## Discussion Use this initializer to capture an image in both RAW format and a processed format (such as JPEG). For RAW-only capture, use the [`init(rawPixelFormatType:)`](/documentation/AVFoundation/AVCapturePhotoSettings/init(rawPixelFormatType:)) initializer instead. Requesting both formats adds requirements for other photo settings: see the [`format`](/documentation/AVFoundation/AVCapturePhotoSettings/format) property for processed format requirements and the [`rawPhotoPixelFormatType`](/documentation/AVFoundation/AVCapturePhotoSettings/rawPhotoPixelFormatType) property for RAW format requirements. The capture output validates these requirements when you call the [`capturePhoto(with:delegate:)`](/documentation/AVFoundation/AVCapturePhotoOutput/capturePhoto(with:delegate:)) method. If your settings and delegate don’t meet these requirements, that method raises an exception. --- Copyright © 2026 Apple Inc.
