Importing m10 dng file to ipad pro

[Zero9]

Hi, I just got a leica m10, upgraded to firmware 2.7.5

I configured the camera to shoot in DNG+JPG, and keep the JPG as monochrome (so I can see it better when focusing using EVF).

 

After shooting for 2 days, I tried to import the photos into my ipad pro. I tried using both:  usb-c SD card reader, or Leica Foto App.

However, I can only see & import the b+w JPG files into Ipad photos. Ipad is running on the latest iOS (13.1.2)

 

The only way to see the DNG file is by going into the SD card folder, but it still does not show any preview on the DNG file.

 

Do you guys have similar issue? And how do you import the DNG files into ipad for editing?

 

Thanks

The Leica Q3 is available for pre-order at B&H Photo Video and Adorama

There is a Lightroom App that is free and should work with .dng. Look in the App Store.

I transfer either using WD ext HDD or card reader 

 

and use LR mobile to process ‘em

 

and they r DNG’s

Thanks for the reply, I think Lightroom mobile is a partial solution. It seems that I cannot batch import the DNG files into lightroom mobile (I can only import one by one).

The weird thing is, my ipad pro can see & import M9 or leica q's dng file into photos without any problem

Hi there,

 

Im currently travelling with my m10 and just my phone.
 

When I import (using the Leica fotos app) the DNGs show up as grayscale ( using the JPEG preview) until I hit edit in the IOS Photos app. Then they render as colour. 

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the question and replies. I am new to M10 D and an iPad Pro 11 on the new iOS and trying to enter this world.

Thanks for all replies, I found a way using Leica Foto App. 

Once I connected my Ipad to the camera, I can click on one of the bw jpg, then I can choose to download jpg, dng, or jpg+dng. 

 

I guess this is (so far) the best way to do import dng into ipad. There is still no batch import yet.....

Just toying a bit with the new iPadOS. You can just mount a SD card reader with the Leica SD card inserted. Then use the Files App to access it. All files, one file, only DNGs, only JPEGs. Sort after type. Your call.

But then .... my M10D of course cannot be accessed anymore wirelessly with the Fotos app after updating to iPadOS. I ranted elsewhere, so I stay calm now.,

Absolutely right.

also, if you open Leica Fotos (v 1.3.1) on the IPad, after you have removed the sdcard reader,  select any image in the included Leica Gallery, then import to storage on iPad , you can then edit your image in any dng capable editor on the iPad or iPhone or transfer to a desktop. .    It’s very easy now.  No laptop or desktop required.
