How does Leica recommend to tether the M10-P to a desktop computer?
-
David, there is no way to tether the Leica M10-P to a computer. You can send images to an iOS device over WiFi and control the camera as well, but not to a laptop or desktop. The SL does have USB 3.0 tethering, for reference.
Thanks very much for the info Josh. That is very disappointing to hear. Will this be added at a later date?
-
David, I don’t believe so because there is no way to get a USB port on the M10 or M10-P.
actually, the connector is still there under the base plate.
-
David, unless it is very well hidden I do not see any electronic contacts on the bottom of the M10!
I saw the connector when I looked at the camera in the Leica store. It’s hidden under that stuck down panel with the SD Card icon/graphic. On the demo model I looked at, that small panel had been removed.
-
Woah! I had no idea. Did you take a photo of it? Maybe it’s for some kind of AC power during testing or service?
I didn’t take a photo of it, at the time I didn’t realise it was suppose to be covered since it is there on the M240. I just looked and was glad to see it there. Only later I found it was covered and there is no USB grip, apparently is covered on the 262 as well. What a waste of a perfectly good camera 🙁
-
David, I don’t think that is a “waste” I think it was just a conscious decision on Leica’s part to make the M10/M10-P a more focused, efficient camera. That’s why they removed video and simplified both the hardware and software interfaces. There are a number of options for Leica shooters that need to work tethered. You can go with the SL, the S or even the M/M-P (Typ 240) cameras.
I guess that is a matter of opinion.
It really is a waste for those who have amassed a very large kit using M8 and M9 for well over a decade, tethering and functioned perfectly well. I have no interest in the SL.
I’m extremely disappointed by this.
-
David, why not go with an M or M-P (Typ 240)? That works tethered with the multifunction grip. And you can use your M lenses on the SL don’t forget!
I have the M240 already and I believe it’s now discontinued? The M240 was the perfect solution having the functions a pro needs on a grip that is optional. Those that don’t want it don’t even need to know it exists.
Also there is no way to use the EVF and flash or flash trigger with the EVF on the M10. :-/
-
David, the M (Typ 240) is not discontinued. If you want an EVF, flash triggering capability and tethered shooting…that sounds an awful lot like an SL to me!
Thanks Josh. But the M240 is not being developed further is it? I use one today but It’s a dead end, as I understand. I’m not interested in using another one at this point either.
I’m not interested in the SL when the A7rIII does a such a great job at a fraction of the cost. I would much rather be using the M though, which worked perfectly well in this scenario.
What a great shame and waste of a perfectly good system it is the loose the M for professional work.
