Just like ACR and Lightroom, the more recent versions of DNG Converter include support for more recent native raw formats, as well as enhancements for updated versions of the Digital Negative file standards. DNG is now at revision 1.3 or 1.4, which supports features needed for some cameras' raw formats that were not available in earlier revisions. It is always best to use the latest DNG Converter version and be sure to set the options if you need to target output for an older version of Camera Raw or Lightroom.
