MacSpikes Posted September 30, 2021 Share #1 Posted September 30, 2021 Advertisement (gone after registration) I mainly use my X-U for underwater photography. Yesteday it was quite a rainy day, so took it outsise for regular photography. There also were some sunny spells in between, so light was fantastic. Afterwards I processed everything in Lightroom as I always do, but the images were not as sharp as expected and had lots of chromatic abberations. Is this due to the fact that Lightroom is not the best tool for this camera, or does the camera need maintenance? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted September 30, 2021 Posted September 30, 2021 Hi MacSpikes, Take a look here Leica X-U: Lightroom or other?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
wda Posted September 30, 2021 Share #2 Posted September 30, 2021 I doubt that Lightroom is the cause of your aberrations. Are you sure that there is no residual dampness in the camera, from previous sub-aqua photography? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacSpikes Posted September 30, 2021 Author Share #3 Posted September 30, 2021 In theory that is possible, although I could not see any. I can try and place the camera in a very dry space with the card/battery door open for a while. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wda Posted September 30, 2021 Share #4 Posted September 30, 2021 You possibly have some dessicant sachets around. They would aid drying. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacSpikes Posted September 30, 2021 Author Share #5 Posted September 30, 2021 I do actually: thanks for the suggestion! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacSpikes Posted October 6, 2021 Author Share #6 Posted October 6, 2021 Had it in a bag with desiccant bags for a week and then it occured to me that it shows the "scuba" logo on the display, which means it was set for underwater (UW) lighting. I went outside and did different test shots of three scenes: all with one picture taken in "UW" mode and one in regular mode. That seems to have solved the mystery: UW lighting yields in chromatic aberrations when not "unterwasser". 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
