Current Raw DNG files saved by Pixel3aXL...appear digitally cropped

I am having an issue with the native camera app. When I zoom the DNG files are treated like the jpg and appear to be digitally cropped. At 0% zoom I get a DNG around 13MB the way it has always been. If I now zoom I get sub megabyte files that have a resolution far below the ~3000x4000 resolution of the sensor. I am not sure but it is like the raw capture is being treated like a digital crop?? This does not happen in open camera or hedgecam2 which leads me to believe an app or upgrade has introduced this. If any one has any thoughts please let me know. A couple other other pixel users have confirmed this observation as well.....thx

You don't specify which version of the Pixel camera is installed - there apparently were changes to "super res zoom" in version 8. If yours is causing trouble you might update or revert to an older official version or try one of the GCam mods (I use a couple of older GCams on my Moto phone, which doesn't have the real Pixel visual core for zooming.)
