Leica Q Instructions Manual page 177

Notes:
• DNG files captured as a trim section always contain the full
28mm image field regardless of the settings, additional
information in the data set ensure that the selected trim section
is depicted. JPEG files on the other hand, contain only the
respective trim section.
As a result, with DNG files trimming selections can be reversed
afterwards while editing the photo, but this is not possible with
JPEG files.
• The trim section resolution is reduced accordingly in DNG as
well as the JPEG format
• Exposure metering, automatic white balance, and multi-field/
facial recognition AF modes all take the selected trim section as
their basis for operation.
