Import RAW generates one good and one bad variant
I am taking my first trembling steps into shooting in RAW, so please excuse my ignorance.
I am using a Sony RX100 iii, and tried importing my RAW images into Capture One v9 on Windows.
Each image generated two variants. One looks good, but the other one is completely awful. Sadly, the awful one is selected as the primary, so I have to go through each image and delete this bad variant.
The good variant has a ICC profile 'Sony DSC-RX100M3 Generic, White Balance Mode 'Shot' and all other settings at '0'.
The bad variant has a ICC profile 'Jpeg File Neutral', White Balance Mode 'Custom' and 'Tint' at -50. The bad variant also has a 'fisheye' effect making straight lines (e.g. a door frame) curved the closer to the corner they are. Even more strange is that some, but not all, of the bad variant thumbnails at the bottom of the screen has a thumbnail that comes from a completely different image stored in an entirely different folder! The variant when viewed is of the correct image, but the thumbnail is picked seemingly on random.
I have no idea if the issue is with the camera, Capture One or me. Most likely Capture One.
Thanks for help with this! I don't want to have to go through each taken image and delete spurious variants.

Some cameras have a shooting mode that creates a RAW file and a JPEG file for the same shot. My Canon cameras do this.
Have you set your camera to shoot just RAW or RAW + JPEG?

RAW only. 0 -
Can you confirm whether the camera's memory card only has one file per shot, before you do the import into Capture One?

I just downloaded a sample image from RX100M3 and imported it. Same issue. So, at least not a problem with my camera.
And yes, there is only one image per shot. Also, these are not separate images in the import. They are truly variants. I can collapse/expand the variants using the 'Image' menu tab, and they share a filename in the thumbnail view at the bottom.0 -
I uninstalled Capture One 9.0 and installed Capture One 9.1. Now it all works as expected. Almost. The only weird thing now is that my images are all cropped a bit on the left and right by default. Anyone have a clue why this might be? 0
