Sony A850/A900 get wrong meta data from cameras.xml about rawspeed HOT 6 CLOSED

No, they are not. Please read the ArwDecoder once more :)

I see. Makes sense. As I said: I did not investigate further. So my worries were unfounded.

from rawspeed.

the cameras.xml says that it should be:

	<Camera make="SONY" model="DSLR-A850">
		<ID make="Sony" model="DSLR-A850">Sony DSLR-A850</ID>
		<CFA width="2" height="2">
			<Color x="1" y="1">BLUE</Color>
			<Color x="1" y="0">GREEN</Color>
			<Color x="0" y="1">GREEN</Color>
			<Color x="0" y="0">RED</Color>
		</CFA>
		<Crop x="0" y="0" width="6080" height="4048"/>
		<Sensor black="500" white="15000"/>
	</Camera>
	<Camera make="SONY" model="DSLR-A900">
		<ID make="Sony" model="DSLR-A900">Sony DSLR-A900</ID>
		<CFA width="2" height="2">
			<Color x="0" y="0">RED</Color>
			<Color x="1" y="0">GREEN</Color>
			<Color x="0" y="1">GREEN</Color>
			<Color x="1" y="1">BLUE</Color>
		</CFA>
		<Crop x="0" y="0" width="6080" height="4048"/>
		<Sensor black="520" white="16383"/>
	</Camera>

Exif says that they are 12-bit, so the old black/white levels look more correct
gonna check in dt next

from rawspeed.

@axxel for RAW_SONY_A850.ARW and RAW_SONY_A900.ARW from rpu, the

-blackLevel: 125
-whitePoint: 3750

and

-blackLevel: 130
-whitePoint: 4095

are the right ones.
with the values you pasted, images look completely crippled.

OK, so the numbers in the xml are wrong. The code I pushed did not change the behavior. So the old numbers are still used, wherever they are actually from (did not investigate).

Especially grep for mShiftDownScale.

The metadata in XML (for arw raws in general it seems) is specified for 14-bit raws.
These raws are 12-bit. So for them the metadata is computed by simply >> 2.
