While Adobe Lightroom, which comes bundled with the camera, does support direct tethering, I've had some Leica S photographers inquire how they can set up a straightforward and solid tethered workflow into […]

For the S (Typ 006), you will have to use Image Shuttle 2.2, but the procedure remains the same.

I am in a Windows 10 environment. Can I tether in a Windows environment?

(I am a big fan of C1 and I hope I can make use of it with my 007).

Thanks,

  Fred,
  
  Unfortunately, there is no Image Shuttle 3 for Windows 10 just yet. I'm hoping to see this soon, as I work in both OS X and Windows environments.

You can't set White Balance to the default DNG profile, but you can create a preset. Alternatively, what I was doing in my testing was to manually set a gray card white balance in the camera before shooting the tethered session. I find this technique works well, and have used it for LR as well going back to the S2.

There might be some inherent hardware-based per-pixel noise reduction in the imaging pipeline, but a DNG wouldn't have software NR applied to it like a high ISO JPG shot in-camera would. You'd still have to apply NR in post processing, just as before when a DNG+JPG was captured. The JPG used for preview would have NR; the DNG wouldn't.
