hello

 

are there any options at all?

I usualy don't shoot jpg, but if I want to download images via Leica SL app to my phone I can only do that when shooting jpg.

Can I shoot dng to one card and jpg to another? I don't want to have the hassle to filter and delete the jpgs in lightroom.

 

best regards

Options are listed in the user manual.

 

DNG+jpg to both cards or to card 1 and then overflow to card 2.

 

DNG or jpg with the same option.

 

This has been requested to be changed in the firmware thread.

 

When I import to Lightroom with my settings I don't have to filter the jpgs.

I just use dng  :) .

But when I did shoot dng+jpg, I imported using LR, either selecting the "Treat jpgs next to dng as the same image" (or similar words) option, or filtered jpgs and deleted/moved/etc them there. 

Personally, I found having any jpgs at all a hassle, so just stopped shooting them.

you are right, I also know of this option. however it will still copy the jpgs to the folder on your hardrive next to the dng, they will just not appear in LR.

Easier to clean them up there but need to remember to do it.

 

As said the app only accepts jpgs.

I don't use LR, so I have only kept jpegs when using a new model camera that needs a month (or more) before full support for rendering the raw files is available.  There is another situation in which raw + jpeg on separate cards makes sense and that is event or sports shooting where the jpegs are handed off to a helper for immediate transmission or giveaway prints.  So I would think Leica should be offering the option to write the raw file to card 1 while the jpeg goes to card 2.  Fuji and Olympus both do that in existing or just announced APS-C and M43 systems; so do the big DSLRs. I haven't followed Sony closely, so don't know what their newest cameras do, or even if they support two cards.  

 

I suspect the issue is bandwidth and power consumption.  The options that Leica presently supports in the SL only involve one file at a time being written, not two different files simultaneously to the two cards.  Whether this changes in firmware 3.0 may depend on the engineering issue of its cost in heat or continuous shooting speed.
