+ * <p>For a logical camera, typically the underlying physical cameras have different RAW
+ * capabilities (such as resolution or CFA pattern). There are two ways for the
+ * application to capture RAW images from the logical camera:</p>
* <ul>
- * <li>Because the underlying physical cameras may have different RAW capabilities (such
- * as resolution or CFA pattern), to maintain backward compatibility, when a RAW stream
- * is configured, the camera device makes sure the default active physical camera remains
- * active and does not switch to other physical cameras. (One exception is that, if the
- * logical camera consists of identical image sensors and advertises multiple focalLength
- * due to different lenses, the camera device may generate RAW images from different
- * physical cameras based on the focalLength being set by the application.) This
- * backward-compatible approach usually results in loss of optical zoom, to telephoto
- * lens or to ultrawide lens.</li>
- * <li>Alternatively, to take advantage of the full zoomRatio range of the logical camera,
- * the application should use {@link android.hardware.camera2.MultiResolutionImageReader }
- * to capture RAW images from the currently active physical camera. Because different
- * physical camera may have different RAW characteristics, the application needs to use
- * the characteristics and result metadata of the active physical camera for the
- * relevant RAW metadata.</li>
+ * <li>If the logical camera has RAW capability, the application can create and use RAW
+ * streams in the same way as before. In case a RAW stream is configured, to maintain
+ * backward compatibility, the camera device makes sure the default active physical
+ * camera remains active and does not switch to other physical cameras. (One exception
+ * is that, if the logical camera consists of identical image sensors and advertises
+ * multiple focalLength due to different lenses, the camera device may generate RAW
+ * images from different physical cameras based on the focalLength being set by the
+ * application.) This backward-compatible approach usually results in loss of optical
+ * zoom, to telephoto lens or to ultrawide lens.</li>
+ * <li>Alternatively, if supported by the device,
+ * {@link android.hardware.camera2.MultiResolutionImageReader }
+ * can be used to capture RAW images from one of the underlying physical cameras (
+ * depending on current zoom level). Because different physical cameras may have
+ * different RAW characteristics, the application needs to use the characteristics
+ * and result metadata of the active physical camera for the relevant RAW metadata.</li>
* </ul>
* <p>The capture request and result metadata tags required for backward compatible camera
* functionalities will be solely based on the logical camera capability. On the other
