m9photo Posted December 20, 2015 Share #1 Posted December 20, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) I mean, it would allow me more files on the memory card or am I wrong? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted December 20, 2015 Posted December 20, 2015 Hi m9photo, Take a look here Why there's no option of RAW only. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
marchyman Posted December 20, 2015 Share #2 Posted December 20, 2015 If you don't use the jpegs then set the jpeg size to minimum. The memory card space taken up by the small jpegs will be about 50:1, meaning you'll lose space for 1 raw image for about every 50 images you take. That's not enough to bother thinking about for me. I've read the Leica uses the JPEG for image playback. They are also used when you use the WLAN feature to send images to a smart phone or tablet.

viramati Posted December 20, 2015 Share #3 Posted December 20, 2015 I know it's a pain but I believe they do it for the reasons given above. I have mine set to the smallest size and have a preset in the import settings for Lr6 which I use to remove them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
graziefenici Posted December 21, 2015 Share #4 Posted December 21, 2015 I completely understand the complaints by people who are used to shooting DNG only and would like to get rid of the jpegs altogether, but... How do you like the jpegs coming out of the Q (not jpegs in general)? Is it more like "out of discussion because I only shoot DNG" or "I have tried them and don't like them"? I am saying this because Q's jpeg colors look very special to me, to the point that I only rarely shoot DNG these days. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ropo54 Posted December 21, 2015 Share #5 Posted December 21, 2015 Having tried jpegs, they are substantially inferior to the dng files. I wish Leica would fix that issue. Not sure whether any of their other digital cameras have that same issue. Certainly, not the x2, x vario, x113, not the Leica T. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have mine set to the smallest size and have a preset in the import settings for Lr6 which I use to remove them David, I've looked all through LR to try and find the setting to remove jpegs on import but can't find it (even with a Google search). Can you share how you do this? Louis Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

viramati Posted December 21, 2015 Share #9 Posted December 21, 2015 I would add for clarity the this is all done in the 'previous import' box in the catalog in the library module Welcome, dear visitor!

katsanes Posted December 21, 2015 Share #10 Posted December 21, 2015 I have a slightly different approach that also works, but is a one-time setup... I have a Smart Folder that searches for the Camera: "like Leica" and filename like ".jpg". Then all the Leica JPEGs always show up there automatically, and you can mass reject them and then delete them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted Lemon Posted December 22, 2015 Share #11 Posted December 22, 2015 I have always copied my DNG's into a dated folder on my hard drive and then imported/added them from there into LR and not directly from the card (as recommended on a LR course I attended). Then do a Time Machine backup plus burn to CD if work related. For the Q - if I don't want the jpegs and sometimes I do - I just 'sort by size' on Finder then copy the DNG's into the folder on my hard drive. I have the 'second copy' un-ticked on the LR import dialogue so i don't end up with loads of copies. This maintains the integrity of my workflow across Q and M platforms.
