DCS is one of Kodak's RAW formats, used by their early professional digital camera systems to store unprocessed sensor data before demosaicing. Since the cameras that produced DCS files are now older, these archived RAW files are most commonly encountered today when digitizing or revisiting historical photo collections rather than from active shooting.
Converting DCS to JPG demosaics the sensor data and compresses the result into a small, universally compatible file, making it straightforward to view, share, or archive photos from older Kodak professional camera systems using modern software.
