Hi,

I hope this hasn't already been asked (i did a search and couldn't see an answer).

I am considering purchasing a Leica D-Lux 3, to suplement my SLR and will be shooting in raw.

As I'm here i obviously must be using Capture 4.

Question is, is the D-Lux 3 RAW compatable with Capture one 4?

I do see D-Lux 4 Raw is supported, but I don't want to assume that the D-Lux 3 is also supported.

Thanks in advance.

Liam

  You can download the release notes from the download section of Phase One site. If your model is not in the list of supported models, it is not supported (and vice versa if it is in the list...).

  Hi,
  
  Thanks for the reply.
  
  I have looked at the supported list and no it is not listed. However, I also used a Canon G6 previously and that wasn't listed (untill later) but it still worked - it seemed to be a generic Canon RAW format used.
  
  I was wondering if this was the same case with the Leica RAW format. that it is the same RAW in both the supported D-LUX 4 and the not mentioned D-Lux 3.
  
  I was hoping that this was the case 😊 Capture one 4 is a brilliant program and well worth the money.
  So naturally I want to keep usig it alongside my Nikon.
  It may be the case that it works but is not gaurenteed to work - hence it is not listed as supported.
  
  I live in hope,
  
  Liam

  Haven't you tried to open D-Lux 3 RAW in CO 4.8.1?

  Hi,
  
  No - as I said in original post, I am considering a purchase of D-Lux 3.
  
  I want to know before I make a purchase of the camera if it will be compatable with my CO 4 software.
  
  Ta,

  Sorry I overlooked that. Nevertheless, you could try to acquire a raw file from this camera model (from the photo retailer perhaps, or the Internet?) to test or ask Phase One in a support case.
