Karlitos,

 

Yes, the potential discrepency between the frame counter in the VF (two digit) and the one on the rear LCD (3 digit) is irritating. Lately I've got around it by shooting RAW (with a 2 GB card, can't get more than 80 odd shots anyway). But if the coming firmware update really improves JPEG quality, I will be tempted to return to shooting JPEGs.

 

Other than the odd bits and bobs though, I think it's a great camera.

 

Jeff.

 

 

Jeff,

Now I really am confused ( some would say easily) but I'm running Fuji 2gb 133x SD's in my D3's and they take 124 images with RAW + small JPEG!

 

In fact I've just grabbbed a 512 card of the desk that I use for moving files with a reader/writer, formatted it and it gives me 30 RAW's and small JPEGS so 2gb = 120. It is Monday morning but am I going daft?

It's all OK. When the 2-digit counter in the Viewfinder exceeds 99, it just starts counting at 01 onwards. However on the LCD and SD memory card... the correct frame count is written into the filename.

I'll take a look when I get home and tell you exactly what I get with a fresh card (I use Sandisk Extreme III cards). Maybe it's the small jpeg where we differ. In other words, I had been taking high resolution jpegs (lowest compression, largest size). Then, when I realized that there were some shortcomings with the Venus engine when it came to some of the in-camera operations, I engaged the RAW recording (set RAW to "on"). But now that I think about it, I probably never changed the JPEG recording options away from my original choice. That's probably where we differ.

 

Anyway, I didn't mean to take us on a tangent, I was just agreeing with you: Although hardly a fatal flaw, I also find the two digit frame counter somewhat annoying.

 

Regards,

 

Jeff.

Hi Jeff,

It's worth checking out just in case there's something odd goin' on. I only work with the RAW's so jpeg are always at the minimum. (like to turn 'em off altogether). Been putting some older RAW's through C1 since Friday and the finished prints are considerally better the Adode. Very happy at present.

This is why I'm so disappointed that the Mac version isn't working right! I've been pretty underwhelmed with ACR, so was really looking forward to Capture One. In the meantime, I downloaded a trial version of Raw Developer, and I like it's results. But I'm leery about paying for a license for this if full Mac support in C1 is just around the corner...

I spoke with C1 and was told that support for the D3 now works correctly in the Mac version.

Really?? That's great news --- I'll re-download it when I get home. Interestingly, I got a response earlier today from Phase One support to my follow-up question asking when they might "fix" the problem in the Mac version, and here's what they said:

 

<quote>

 

it was a mistake that it was not implimented in the Software,

and it will be featured in a future release, proppably in 3.7.8

but when that will come out is still a bit too early to say.

 

Kind regards

 

Phase One

I'd be thrilled if the word you got is right and the word I got is wrong. Guess there's only one way to find out...

Downloaded and re-installed 3.7.7 for Mac OSX --- no changes. Still doesn't recognize the D3 raw files. Of course, there's no way of knowing whether this is a "revised" version of 3.7.7, or the same one I downloaded a few days ago.

 

At this point, I'll assume support for the D3 in OSX won't come till 3.7.8.

Here's the response I got on 4/27@2200:

 

Robbe,

 

No timframe and no indication if there will be another update prior to Release of Upgrade 4.0 LE due later this spring.

It is likely that the fix will make it in 4.0 but No Confirmation from Developers.

 

regards,

phaseONEsupport

 

Not encouraging.

Thanks, Sean!

 

Wonder what 'very soon' means? :)

 

Robbe

 

I wonder the same thing! May depend on what else they plan on putting in the update. Looking back over the last few C1 updates, the time frame for version updates seems to vary between 30 days and several months.

 

I'd sure like to get the Digilux 3 firmware update sooner rather than later as well. But knowing how overwhelmed Leica is answering the demands of M8 owners, I'm not holding my breath.

Not sure about the L1. As for the Digilux 3, I'm not having any luck getting it to recognize the D3 raw files --- they are conspicuously absent in the thumbnail pane when I select a folder of images. My JPGs and TIFFs show up, but the RAWS don't. I posted a help request on the C1 website, so we'll see if any suggestions are forthcoming.

 

This is the first I've used C1, given that I don't own an M8. I've looked through the preferences and other settings, and don't see anything that I need to "activate". I trust if it's working properly, the raw files would appear in the same manner as jpgs and tiffs. Frustrating.

 

I'm using a fully licensed version of Capture One LE for OSX, upgraded to 3.7.7. I also downloaded a trial of Capture One Pro, and the results were the same. Anyone have any suggestions?

 

Jeff.

 

I have an L1, same problem.

Well, a couple of months have passed. Anyone have any updates about C1 and the Mac and the Digilux 3?

C1's website lists the Digilux 3 as compatible. Of course, it was never removed from the 'compatible' list.

 

Thanks,

Robbe,

 

I check Phase One's website at least once a week, hoping a 3.7.8 update will be posted. Alas, as you well know, there's no sign of it. Given that version 4 is due in the Fall, I'm thinking we may not see this problem fixed until then.

 

I agree with you --- it seems like the least they could have done is fixed the release note for the Mac version so that it's accurate. But no, it still lists the D3 as supported. Sort of like salt in the wound.

 

I'll be buying a new Mac soon, and with it I'm going to buy Aperture. Given the complaints many have made about C1's interface, and given how underwhelming Phase One's support and development teams are, I think I may give up on it.

 

Jeff.
