I took 5 or 6 photos today, with the camera set to DNG+JPG.
When I look at the Camera Roll Folder I see this:

Screenshot on my OneDrive, I cannot post real links yet: http ://1drv.ms/1jFIQp2

Ignoring the JPG and TMP files (what are they for?) there are still two DNG for every picture with the same timestamp and filesize, like
WP_20151205_14_25_54_Raw (2)__highres.dng
WP_20151205_14_25_54_Raw_LI__highres.dng
Quite some wasted storage at ~23MB for each duplicate

What is wrong here? And how to fix that?

1.raw 16mp, living images=off
2.raw16mp, living images=on
 
1.raw 16mp, living images=off
2.raw16mp, living images=on

While checking the living images setting I realized that I had the trigger set to continuous shooting. And apparently I held the trigger too long each time. Stupid me, its back to default now.
