rolf_sohner Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 I have recently purchased a Leica Digilux 2 camera, and looking for any suitable software for the Macintosh computer (Macbook), mostly for downloading images from the camera etc. The camera came with some very basic software (It's a bit out of date)just wondering if anyone has had any experiance with this camera, and Mac's can assist?

pico Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 If you have the same MacBook I do, then just plug in the camera! It comes up on the desktop as a disk drive. Click on it and be happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougmiles Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 Faster and more universal is to get a USB card reader that will accept the camera's media, and use that to transfer the files from the card. (The card just appears on your desktop as a small additional hard drive) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_sullivan1 Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 Congratulations on your new camera. I've been very pleased overall with the way my D2 has performed for me. I use a 15" powerbook G4 (1st generation, mac OSX 10.4) and the camera works great right out of the box. I had some trouble initially getting Leica USB Remote, an application that allows you to remotely control the camera from your computer and save images to your computer's hard drive. The trick for me was to trash the Leica preferences in your computer's user preferences. As far as the application to download photos, iPhoto will be fine for file importing and management. Don't waste your time trying to make any photo adjustments with iPhoto, the tools aren't nearly as effective as Photoshop. Good luck and enjoy your camera.

carl_bretteville Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 Get a card reader as Doug said. You will not regret it. Enjoy your camera. Mine has served me well in the three years I've had it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anthony_brookes5 Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 A great camera. A friend took some pictures with mine at his son's party and downloaded them onto his Mac laptop without doing anything that I could see other than plugging in the cable I gave him. I didn't actually see him plug it in but but I don't think he had any other cables. He certainly didn't remove the card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helenbach Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 I've been very pleased with the Digilux 2 that I've had for three years. I just plug the camera into a Mac or a PC, so the 2 GB card hardly ever comes out of the camera. I've found the Leica software handy for making stop-motion movies and doing time-lapse (I've just realised that I've only done that on a PC, never with my Mac).<p> There's a Heliopan filter adapter and lens hood that is good for portraits etc. It can be seen in the frame at lens settings less than about 75 mm equiv.<p> Here's one of the first pictures I took with it, the day I got it. It is so easy to use.<p> <img src="http://newton-i.usefilm.com/images/3/5/0/4/3504/897065-medium.jpg"> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
