Duel pixel raw

[Renegade Viewfinder]

Does anyone shoot duel pixel raw. Is this beneficial in any way? Any information would be greatly appreciated

I haven't used it much nor in several years, so I'm going on old memories. As I remember, dual pixel raw was sometimes helpful recovering highlights in high dynamic range scenes. The penalty was that file sizes were increased significantly so it could record two pixels worth of data instead of one. For me it never really caught on.
