I have firmware 1.5 so believe the camera software is current. The eye/face icon is showing in the menu but the camera focus point is not going to the eye/face, even in the most obvious situations, such as a few metres away from a subject with no distractions in the field of view. I would think this is a software issue and wonder if it is possible to delete the existing camera software and then re-load it? Or should I just accept that this feature does not really exist on my camera. Are others finding this 'feature' a little unreliable?

Hello, dear Leica forum users. A brief introduction and a question about the D-Lux 8 post-processing within Lightroom. Introduction: I have also been using a D-Lux 8 for a few days now. It is a really nice camera, and the handling is really simple and convincing. Coming from the world of the SONY A7, I appreciate the easy and good handling of the D-Lux 8. The first pictures have turned out great, and I think I've found the right camera to accompany me every day and everywhere. It will certainly be a good companion for street photography too, as it is not as big as an A7 IV with a 35 GM or 50 mm GM - and not as heavy. Nevertheless, I'm still struggling with the DNG files. The import into Lightroom Classic works wonderfully. However, the monochrome images are displayed in RGB mode, which is initially based on the DNG format. For years, the majority of my images have been taken in monochrome and come very close to the “high contrast” monochrome of the D-Lux 8. I created a special sensor profile for my SONY A7 IV, which later displays the RAW files as desired. Here, I convert the RAW files into TIFFs using the SONY software and then just crop them slightly in LR. Thats all. Since there is no explicit software from Leica that can take over the monochrome "settings", the only way is probably via Lightroom. Now to my question: Are there any pre-sets for Lightroom that change the DNG so that they come very close to the appearance of the JPG image? - The JPGs are wonderful, but I would like to keep the DNGs and delete the JPGs, assuming that the DNGs can be displayed in this way. Maybe there is a software that can handle the monochrome "settings" of the DNG. Thank you very much in advance for your support and tips. Best regards -
To help me identify .jpg files from my D-Lux4 I set it to name them L4000001 etc, so that they were easy to tell from files derived from my two M8s that were L1000001 and L2000001 etc. In the past, helpful instructions on this forum showed me how to do this. My old D-Lux4 is dying so I have just got an 8 and want its files to come out as L8... for instant identification. The previous procedure (to re-name file and directory) is not working (it just makes a new 100LEICA directory) and I wondered if any new D-Lux8 owners have had any interest or tried to change file numbering. I am not anticipating taking millions of photos so I don't mind the number 8... being rather high! Suggestions gratefully received. Thanks, Matthew
