Some bugs updating firmware of D-Lux 5

I don’t think so. The iPad shows the embedded preview images of the raw files, that’s all. To do a raw conversion on the iPad you need a raw converter such as Sandy’s PhotoRaw app.

 

think you didn't get the point of the problem:

yes, i can handle the raws - anywhere - on the ipad or on the mac, but within the raw files there's no effect "embedded" anymore!

So you can use the ipad download function as a "screenshot download function" and save the effect-imges this way

You could also either just go back to the earlier firmware, or keep this firmware but not use the "funny" bug. It's still the same camera you enjoyed -- just the bug bothers you.

 

yes, you're right.

...but nevertheless, I gave it to my girlfriend

That’s what I said: The effect isn’t applied to the raw data (obviously), but to the embedded preview. Since the iPad, while being able to import raw files, ignores the actual raw data but only displays the embedded JPEG preview, you get the desired effect. Unless you install a proper raw file converter on your iPad which would access the actual raw data.

Reading this thread I get some confusion. Maybe I think wrong, but I think there is really no bug. As mjh said, the miniature effect is applied to the JPG and never to the RAW data. A RAW data can never handle such an effect - and if, it is not a RAW data anymore - so for me, that is absolutely logical.

Since I started the thread..... What I experienced was the following; with the quality setting on the D-Lux set on "RAW", no jpeg, you can take special effect pictures which looks OK viewed on the camera screen. But after transferring the files to my Mac, I will only have raw-files without special effects, since special effects requires jpeg-format which is not applied if you have your camera set on raw. One odd thing though, some of the special effects creates a jpeg with the effect even if I have the setting to raw. But not "miniature effect", which was what I desired.

...and there is no warning from the camera when taking special effect pictures if you have the setting on raw.

OK, I understand! That seems to be not so logic from the camera software, because sure one expect the pictures come out to the computer with the effect - but if the effect is only applied to a JPG (that is ok), there of course should be a warning that, if you only take RAW, becauese you never get the effect with that.

 

Maybe the problem can be overconme with a software solutiin that only if one chose the effects, the camera takes RAW (no effect applied) AND JPG (there the effect is applied).
