[Digikam-users] Can digikam "Save As" dng files?

I want to add just that since I use different cameras (one nikon, one sony, one canon), when I can I prefer to convert the proprietary RAW file unmodified to DNG, just for backup, since I can't be sure if in the future I will be able to open all those different (and proprietary!) RAW files.
