In both cases that only affects the preview shown on the LCD and writes an instruction in the file on what setting it used.
You can set the camera to use auto white balance or a fixed value. Firstly I assume that you are shooting DNG. How would you decide what value to choose? Edited Decemby lucerne I'm not sure I understand why you would need to pre-set temperature to a fixed value.
Final adjustment is made to my RAW image by selecting a neutral grey or white zone during lightroom processing.ĮDIT: I realise that my process doesn't technically explain the discrepancy between "as shot" and LR interpretation, but it might help to isolate the source of the discrepancy. These settings don't influence WB.įor WB, I don't often set the camera to any particular fixed temperature unless I'm indoors in artificial light when I set the temperature manually (via the M9 WB menu) by taking a shot through a lens cap with an inbuilt white dome. That's why I have an automatic reset to zero of every slider. As has been mentioned, RAW files aren't affected by other "in camera settings" but LR certainly can apply (unintended and inappropriate) adjustments at import time. This ensures that every RAW image isn't pre-adjusted by LR at import. My technique is to set Lightroom to "zero all settings" at import and the white balance should continue to reflect the value chosen in the camera. I would like to get in contact with Leica in Germany directly but can't seem to find an email address. I have the images from yesterday's experiments. Although they were helpful and we had a long discussion about this problem Leica Mayfair weren't able to advise on next steps. Has anyone else experienced the same problem? It is hugely frustrating and I'm struggling to know where to turn next.
Lightroom 5.2 raw file white balance settings full#
The results are inconclusive - is the problem in the camera (Is there a colour calibration file/setting embedded inside the camera that needs changing/updating? Is the camera writing the full metadata settings to the DNG file?) or is Adobe Lightroom 5.2 not able to import/interpret the metadata correctly and is therefore converting at a different value? I then tried shooting at 6000k on an M-240 body and it imported at 5800k (closer but still not 6000k). I have tried shooting at 6000k on an M9 body (provided by Leica UK) with firmware 1.196 and when importing the image it changed the value to 5200kģ.
Both versions were identical (5.2), and they are vanilla installations with no import filters applied.Ģ. Importing the same image into another copy of Lightroom and it produces similar results although not actually reaching the same WB value as my installation of Lightroom did. I went into Leica Mayfair yesterday and tried the following steps to isolate the cause of the problem:ġ. I raise or lower the WB value and although there is no linear correlation between the value set on the camera and the value set on the imported image, the value assigned to the image in Lightroom is still markedly different from the value that the image has been shot at. I shoot at 6000k, but when I import the image (DNG) into Adobe Lightroom 5.2 the WB setting gets altered to 4820k. I am having issues with the WB value on M9-P, or rather the value that Lightroom brings the image in at.
