PureRAW works best when your camera + lens combination is supported. This page shows exactly how to check compatibility and why DxO’s optical modules matter for clean detail and corrected RAW files.

Compatibility usually comes down to your camera RAW format and whether DxO has a profile for your lens + camera combo. The fastest way to know is to install PureRAW, open one of your RAW files, and see if it offers the optical module for your kit.
DxO uses camera/lens-specific correction profiles (optical modules). When supported, PureRAW can apply corrections that help clean up distortion, vignetting, softness and other optical issues before you edit.
Corrections are built for specific lenses (often even at different focal lengths), so results can look more accurate than generic profiles.
RAW noise and detail behaviour varies by sensor. Support means processing is tuned to your camera’s RAW characteristics.
You’re not fixing issues later with extra masking. The file begins cleaner and more “finished” before your creative edit.
Open a RAW file from your camera inside PureRAW. This is the quickest reality check because it’s based on your actual files.
Best check: use a recent shootIf your camera/lens combo is supported, PureRAW will typically offer to download or enable the optical module for that combination.
If prompted: you’re supportedSupport can vary by lens. Test your most-used lenses (wide, standard, tele) so you know your main workflow is covered.
Check your top 3 lensesDxO maintains an official list of supported cameras and lenses. Use it as the final confirmation if you’re buying specifically for one kit.
Use official list as backupDon’t panic — it doesn’t automatically mean PureRAW is useless.
Both can matter. Camera support affects the RAW pipeline, and camera + lens combinations can unlock lens-specific optical modules.
No. Prioritise the lenses you actually use. If your favourite travel/street lens is supported, you’re in a great place.
