oskarhhh Posted April 6, 2014 Share #1 Posted April 6, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hello! I`m going on a 2 month trip and plan to bring M9P and a ipad mini retina. When I transfer files from M9P using the camera connection kit to the ipad the pictures shown are blurred (when I view them on the computer they are sharp) I shoot Uncompressed DNG. Are the files to big for the ipad to view ? I will only use the ipad to view the pictures not process them or use for storage. I tried to change the setting to DNG± JPEG fine and the files shown on the ipad where sharp. Do the ipad only transfer the JPEG? Is this the setting I need to use? Is there a big difference in uncompressed and compressed files? Thank you Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

elgenper Posted April 6, 2014 Share #3 Posted April 6, 2014 As ynp says, iOS devices don´t support DNG natively like OSX ones do. A DNG file does contain a tiny jpeg ´index´ files, which is all you see. With the DNG + JPG setting, you get a full size jpeg, and then the iPad uses this instead. If card space isn´t a problem, the easiest and best solution is what you already do: shoot DNG + JPG. Otherwise, there is an app called PhotoRaw that can actually handle several raw formats, including DNG. Problem is, it´s quite slow, and since the files are huge, you can´t store more than a few on the iPad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulafrost Posted April 6, 2014 Share #5 Posted April 6, 2014 Photoraw works well on the latest iPad and with 128Gb you can easily store a few hundred photos. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
erl Posted April 7, 2014 Share #6 Posted April 7, 2014 Leave the iPad at home and take a pocket full of SD cards. Fill them up, one after the other and store till you get home and transfer to your computer. The experience will be a bit like shooting film. You don't get to 'chimp' or see your images till processed. Good discipline for trusting your judgement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
adespen Posted April 8, 2014 Share #7 Posted April 8, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) Ah erl you are calling for a great deal of restraint in waiting to see the images. Yes it is shooting just like film but you can't send images home until you get home. Luckily for me two of the things I am glad my work has taken me past are waiting for the emulsions to be developed and processed and waiting for the imagesetters to RIP. Long live progress.
