PasMichiel Posted July 1, 2010 Share #1 Posted July 1, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) Does someone know what I do wrong? On my M8 with the newest firmware 2.004 I would like to take double pictures: DNG and JPG basic. Or DNG and JPG fine. Both do not work. It saves two TIF's full. When I only take JPG fine it's working okay and becomes a JPG on the sd card. And another thing I only can read my pictures with the USB on the body. My cardreader (tried serveral) don't see the card which I formatted in the body. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andybarton Posted July 1, 2010 Share #2 Posted July 1, 2010 I suspect that you are using Windows, which often sees DNGs as tiff files. I have no idea why, but someone else will be able to help you on that one. You probably need a new card reader - SD readers need to be replaced when new faster SD cards are released. If you have a new card, then that is most likely to be the reason. There must be some firmware built into the reader that doesn't talk to fast cards properly.

stunsworth Posted July 1, 2010 Share #3 Posted July 1, 2010 I'd also suspect you're using an SDHC card and your card reader doesn't support these. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
01af Posted July 1, 2010 Share #4 Posted July 1, 2010 Your SD card most likely is a SDHC type ... if it has more than 2 GB capacity then it surely is. Older card readers cannot handle SDHC cards. So get a current card reader; a cheap one will do (however the more expensive ones usually are faster). Regarding your image files being stored as TIFF ... no idea. Sounds like a camera defect to me. Are both TIFFs per frame the same file size? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted July 1, 2010 Share #5 Posted July 1, 2010 Storing TIFFs happens from time to time in Windows when something is wrong with the card. You can usually rename them DNG. As everybody said: get a SDHC compatible card reader. It could be your file settings in Windows as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stunsworth Posted July 1, 2010 Share #6 Posted July 1, 2010 Regarding your image files being stored as TIFF ... no idea. Sounds like a camera defect to me. Are both TIFFs per frame the same file size? It's a Windows problem and has been reported before. A DNG is essentially a Tiff in a wrapper. Windows see these as Tiffs - from memory only when the camera is connected directly to the PC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PasMichiel Posted July 1, 2010 Author Share #7 Posted July 1, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) Thx for the reply. I re-updated the camera (last owner did it with SDHC card ). And have some 2gig SD cards that I now use. It's fast enough. :D And everything works as I want. A DNG and a JPG file next to each other. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
01af Posted July 1, 2010 Share #8 Posted July 1, 2010 It's a Windows problem and has been reported before. I have never encountered a case where Windows mistakes a DNG file for a TIFF file, nor heard about it. A DNG is essentially a TIFF in a wrapper. Actually it's the other way around—TIFF is a wrapper, or superset, for all kinds of image formats, including DNG and also most proprietary raw formats. If I remember correctly then even JPEG is nothing but a special kind of TIFF. TIFF is a meta format for image data; it can be used to define all kinds of specialised image formats. Windows see these as TIFFs—from memory only when the camera is connected directly to the PC. So it obviously is a camera defect. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it obviously is a camera defect. Fortunately it is not a "real"camera defect, but a SD-SDHC incompatability, solved by reloading the firmware. As a sidenote the SD file recovery program "Rescue Pro" wil always write the DNGs it finds as TIFFs. One can then rename them as DNG, and provided they are uncorrupted, they are perfectly readable, so the file header is obviously unchanged. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PasMichiel Posted July 1, 2010 Author Share #12 Posted July 1, 2010 Main problem was that the body was not writing the JPG but two RAW files (okay the tif thing was a Windows or not HC cardreader problem). But with re-installing the firmware the problem is gone. http://www.l-camera-forum.com/leica-forum/digital-forum/14702-raw-files-dng-i-see-tif.html http://www.l-camera-forum.com/leica-forum/digital-forum/49384-getting-xp-distinguish-jpgs-tiff-dng.html Glad to help.
