LUF Admin Posted January 27 Share #1 Posted January 27 Advertisement (gone after registration) The Background Transfer function has been available for M11 cameras since the introduction of the FOTOS App v.5.0 The Leica product developers and we would now like to know: What are your experiences with Background Transfer in the field? In addition to the small questions above, w’d like to know: Where do you see the strengths of the Background Transfer? What could be improved in your eyes?

kkm Posted January 27 Share #2 Posted January 27 Not usable with iPhone 8. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpark114 Posted January 27 Share #3 Posted January 27 The speed of tranfer is acceptable, but I'd rather take out a memory card and copy directly to my laptop for LRC 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
M11 for me Posted January 27 Share #4 Posted January 27 I think that only useres with cameras that support background transfer should answer the survey. Hope I am correct. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxpower Posted January 27 Share #5 Posted January 27 I tried it for a bit and I can see why it might be useful for people, but I decided not to use it. It just fills my apple photos app with a lot of (smaller) jpegs that I rarely use, maybe once or twice it helped me be quicker sending a photo someone wanted. But as I normally don't use the JPEGs anyway and do some post processing on my computer before importing into my photo library, this functionality doesn't really prove itself useful to me. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smogg Posted January 27 Share #6 Posted January 27 This is convenient for M11D owners who regret not buying the M11P😂 1 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

musers Posted January 27 Share #8 Posted January 27 Eh if it transferred the DNGs in the background that would be something. or if we could get some leica looks on our M11 and then transfer the jpgs I'd prob stick to jpgs. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LocalHero1953 Posted January 27 Share #9 Posted January 27 I just have no use case for it. A solution looking for a problem AFAIC. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derbyshire Man Posted January 27 Share #10 Posted January 27 I don’t wish I’d bought a M11P but it’s very helpful for M11D with the occasional unrepeatable set of shots. Also handy for rapid SoMe. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jakontil Posted January 28 Share #12 Posted January 28 I love the background transfer feature.. it didnt work initially.. but out of the blue, after a couple of weeks, it started working and when it worked,it just worked for me it is quite useful.. though i always shoot raw and edit in LR for my other serious works.. but with my family documentation, i could just use the preview and share instantly not sure if anything should be improved within the background transfer.. the use of bluetooth LE is perfect, the speed is great, and didnt hit either battery life if there’s any request may be automatically preset to any of the preferred leica looks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine that the second question should be answered only in case you use background transfer in your workflow. Or else you vote "very bad" in question 2 and therefore you do not use it (question 1). 🫠 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would not be fair to vote "very bad" then so i understand this survey is not for me. Won't hurt anybody if i keep quiet for once anyway 😄 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
M11 for me Posted January 28 Share #16 Posted January 28 Well you're right. I just wondered how accurate the outcome of this survey will be. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris7273 Posted January 28 Share #17 Posted January 28 Automatic transfer fills the phone with all my garbage shots. I have therefore selected the option to only transfer the “favorites” photos, these with a star. As I don’t have a lot of them, that’s ok… sad but ok 🙂 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Photoworks Posted January 28 Share #18 Posted January 28 VOTE NEUTRAL preserving highlight blowout and underexposing, the previews are not usable for immediate sharing! I have it set to "Favorite", on the M11 image review a quick tab of the function button will transfer to FOTOS on the iPhone. The Negative is the download option is simply not possible for my favorites after transferring a Preview file. Evendo the downloaded preview is labeled a preview and not JPG OT DNG. you need to go back to image browse and filter favorite, select images, and perform download.

RobW0 Posted January 28 Share #20 Posted January 28 I used it once with the M11-D, but did not like all the pictures going into my iPhoto app. Might try it again on the M11-P and mono where I can set it to only transfer favorites. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
