Shoot Raw photos directly onto SSD?

[delicate jacinth]

Is it possible to shoot Raw photos directly onto an SSD? I know that is possible with ProRes video, but I can't find if that's also possible with Raw photos.

my iPhone is a 16 Pro and the SSD is a crucial X9

I don't see why not... Unless there's some weird gootcha somewhere, it should just allow it, just like your videos.

i can't find a setting for it in the camera section

and googling it was inconclusive

[hasty bridge]

Huh... how many photos do you plan on taking?

[delicate jacinth]

not much but it'd be nice to have on an SSD so I can directly edit them on my Mac

i also sadly went for the 128gb option

Well... I can think of 2 options, either use a third-party camera app that allows you to specify a place to store after shooting, or if its the standard camera app, you can go into the photos app, find your recently taken photos, and share themou
What you do is click the photo which opens it up, press the share button at the bottom I belichre (last time I checked) and select all the ones you want.
You should be able to scroll down in the share menu and choose save to files, which should let you put them on the SSD.

I could do that but it is tbh a bit tedious.

I couldn't find any 3rd party apps so far

I agree, especially the secondoption, Apple should just allow raw photos be saved the same way as pro log videos, it makes no sence

From what I researched, you can not.

[delicate jacinth]

even with an external app?

[chrome tree]

Yeah.

It seems 3rd Party apps can only record onto a SSD

[delicate jacinth]

wait what?

[hasty bridge]

Which is kind of silly.

[chrome tree]

Record, not capture photos. BlackMagic Camera is one of them

[delicate jacinth]

oh yeah recording for ssd
