bob338 Posted January 27, 2010 Share #1 Posted January 27, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) I got an M8 a few days ago and am having trouble importing the files into Lightroom. I updated to 2.6.1 this morning and I'm still getting the same "No photos were found to import" message. The camera has 2.004 software. Before I updated it I was able to download a couple of times when I took a picture while the camera was connected and Lightroom was open. That won't work anymore. I have not found a thread with this specific problem, but I only went through a few pages of the 500 results from searching. Any Ideas? thanks. bob Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stunsworth Posted January 27, 2010 Share #2 Posted January 27, 2010 Are you connecting the camera to the computer? If so buy a card reader. It will be faster and also more reliable. Make sure the reader can read SDHC cards - though I'd expect by now that all new ones can. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff S Posted January 27, 2010 Share #3 Posted January 27, 2010 If you don't have already, it will be helpful to have Scott Kelby's LR 2 book, or something similar, to provide some practical guidance on the software. For instance, even when you successfully import photos, it's important how you initially set up your folder(s) for importing to avoid lots of potential hassle down the road. You'll also find other relevant threads in the digital post processing forum. Jeff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob, Follow Steve's advice. 99.9% of the Leica/LR problems begin with, " I just CONNECTED my Leica (insert model here) to my computer and tried to import into Lightroom (insert version here) and...." I've used digital Leicas and the beta version of LR since it's inception and have never had a problem importing DNG or Raw files. But then, I've always used a card reader.

archi4 Posted January 27, 2010 Share #5 Posted January 27, 2010 Bob, In Lightroom Preferences under the tab "import" make sure "Show import dialog when a memory card is detected" is checked. maurice Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
