As you know CL is a 24mp APS-C sensor camera. And M10 is a 24 mp full frame camera. But while the DNG file size of m10 was about 24 mb, the dng size of CL is about 44 mb.. How can this be? Is there any explanation to this? I really appreciate your comments.. thank you

Is there a lossless DNG compression setting on the M10?  Or maybe it defaults to compressed?  There's one on my new-to-me TL2, and I don't recall seeing one on my CL.  I don't know what size the compressed TL2 files are because I haven't properly shot it yet.

M10 only has three options; DNG- JPEG- DNG+JPEG .. I couldn’t find  a menu for compressed or lossless dng option..

CL files are uncompressed, while M10's DNGs are lossless compressed. There are no options to control the compression.

You can apply lossless compression on your CL DNG files in Lightroom by selecting the images and applying Metadata>Update DNG Preview & Metadata.
