Upcoming Leica Announcement – M9 SD Card Problems (new Firmware coming) – Lightroom 4

Hello Internet,

just want to keep you updated with some Leica news going on – hot stuff will happen this year in the new camera announcement section from Solms. Today Leica sent out invitations for an event happening in Berlin on May 10th (11th). The date could indicate the M10, but there might be the X2 and/or a completely new camera as well. We will see what we will get to put our savings on ;-)

Some time ago I reported you about the SD card read problem (read the full story here). Well it happened again. Shooting and everything (including reviewing) without problems, but as soon as I put the card into the reader it was not mountable. Disk Drill did the job again and saved my pictures.

So I called today Leica in Solms and asked about the problem. They told me that they are aware of it. The recommendation was not to use cards higher than class 4 until in short time a new M9 firmware will be released that will solve the problem (about April/May). I will try to get a class 4 card until then, but …

Leica M9 OOC JPEG + DNG

Hi everybody,

as we have a photo exhibition next month in my home town as well the sun was shining I decided to drive a quick tour to some locations nearby to shoot with the M9-P. The more I have seen in the WordPress statistics that the article with OOC files is very popular – so I decided to post a few more of them.

Just click on the pictures below to get the full OOC JPEG.

Find as well links to the compressed (zip) DNG raw files. If you download them be aware that each file has about 12MB in size. Have fun post-processing them and if you like send the result to me.

Leica M9 Black and White OOC JPEG Examples

Hello Internet,

today could be one of the last „summer days“ this year. All day it has been pretty sunny and nice outside. After I returned from a visit at a local event in my hometown I decided to put my M9-P and go outside to capture some pictures, but this time I set the camera to capture DNG and Black and White Jpegs. This combination is pretty cool as you get both – RAW color and Jpeg B&W.  Let me share some of them with you.

Leica M9 OOC JPEG compressed by JPEGmini

Hello,

today in the morning I did my daily checks on the latest news on my iPhone beside drinking my coffee. On Twitter I read about the JPEGmini compression. As their websites states it compresses your JPEGs in a way of not loosing any quality but reducing the file size up to 5 times. So I sent me a reminder to check it in the afternoon after work. I grabbed an OOC JPEG from my last shoot with the Leica M9-P and uploaded it to their web application. It worked pretty fast.
