leica dream Posted September 24, 2008 Share #1 Posted September 24, 2008 Advertisement (gone after registration) My recent holiday was my first volume use of digital since converting from film. Perhaps niaively I expected the shots to be recorded on the SD card in the order in which they were shot as they were on film. Having downloaded all shots to my PC I find that images are stored in a somewhat random manner. The 2GB card was initialised before starting the trip so there was plenty of contiguous space. Images are stored JPG and each is around 4.7kb. I had relied on sequential storage for identification so I made no notes at the time of taking shots. Is random storage a "feature" of the VLUX-1, or any other Leica digital? Richard Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Regardless of how the SD card stored them (and I've never noticed them being out of sequence on the card), can't you sort them on your mac/pc by capture date and time? Assuming you have the date and time set correctly on your VLux, this info is embedded in the exif data. So if you use an image organization software (Aperture, iPhoto, Lightroom, etc.), just sort by capture date and time. Jeff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
elansprint72 Posted September 24, 2008 Share #3 Posted September 24, 2008 All mine are stored in order, or rather they download to PS in order; not just on the V-Lux either. How are you down-loading the files? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pleeson Posted September 25, 2008 Share #4 Posted September 25, 2008 My files have always been recorded linearly in iPhoto or Aperture Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
leica dream Posted September 25, 2008 Author Share #5 Posted September 25, 2008 Thanks for all your reassurances. I have been working on this a bit and find that on the VLUX they are in perfect order as I would have expected. What I did to get them on to my PC was to use Windows (camera to PC) software and it has just placed them randomly somehow, giving them wrong sequential file numbers. I have tried again and got a completely different order! Now reverted to PS and everything loaded perfectly by sequential date and time.....can't you tell I am new at digital! Grateful for your input. Richard Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pleeson Posted September 26, 2008 Share #7 Posted September 26, 2008 Advertisement (gone after registration) As a long tome PC user and a more recent convert to Mac, I think Windows has a long way to go... But Picasa is pretty cool and priced right! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
