Here's one Oberwerth user who can testify to the outstanding quality and aesthetics of Oberwerth bags. They are an excellent value.

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,

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.

I have never been so happy with a firmware update before. 🙂 thanks for breaking down the updates! greatly appreciated since exploring the updates last night on the camera where very DIY.

Thanks Josh!!

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.

A nice useful report.
I had previously wondered at the flash placement worried that so close to the lens it would flash back on any suspended particles in the water. But you explained the plus of the flash not being shadowed by the lens itself.

I had not realized this was the only UW camera without a case that shoots RAW. I have a friend John who loves Leica, diving and fishing and this will do it for him.

Excellent article. Just one small correction to the opening para: first digital RF was Epson RD1, not the M8

I haven't done underwater yet since someone else is going to do that with my camera – soon they say. But I have done quite a lot of shooting on land, and the X-U reminds me very much of the X1 that I had, with many improvements, not the least of which is the f1.7 lens.
