Leica S Tethered

Recommended Posts

You may be aware of this already, but the most reliable, relatively fast way to shoot tethered is with Leica Image Shuttle 2.2.0 and LR5.5. I've used this set up for the last 2 1/2 years without flaw, seriously rock solid. Despite the USB 2 transfer rate, the wait for a shot to come up on the MBP with an S is roughly 8 sec. Fine for someone methodical like me who shoots architecture, interiors and landscape architecture.

 

I should add, the above tethering solution has proved for me a far more reliable connection than the FW800 Hasselblad tethering system I used for years, which I could count on to have a few crashes on each and every shoot, which often required complete rebooting of the camera, sometimes with camera disassembly/reassembly.

Can someone please let me know how many seconds it takes for a tethered image to show up in C1?

 

FWIW, I was using a current S yesterday tethered to a not particularly recent MBP using Lightroom 5 and it was taking about 5 seconds for the initial preview image to show up. No idea about C1.

Compared Lightroom 5.5 to C1 6.4 on a 17" MBP verson 6.1, 8gb ram. Leica S2 DNG

Lightroom 3 seconds, C1 11-12 seconds. MacBook Air also 3 seconds with Lightroom 5.5,

the C1 number is what I've seen previously many times before, perhaps it could be shortened with some tech support.

Can you for example shoot in RAW plus JPG , have the JPG file as small as possible and tether the JPG rather than the DNG file to LR this way it should tether quicker and you can quickly confirm focus sharpness???
