Does ZS40K allow you to save in RAW format compatible with Lightroom running on a MAC?

When shooting RAW, you don't have a choice. The files will be in whatever RAW format the camera uses. However, it's easy to download the free "Adobe DNG Converter" which you can use to batch convert the camera's RAW to a "digital negative" ("DNG") that can be read by Lightroom, Photoshop, and as far as I know any other program. I have been using the DNG converter for years with various cameras including Nikon, Panasonic, Fuji and Pentax. Much better than most of the other alternatives, and far better than clogging up your hard drive with clunky proprietary programs. The Adobe DNG Converter is like an independent app on your desktop and it's a piece of cake to use. When shooting RAW, you don't have a choice.

Yes, I just ordered this camera and checked Adobe's website first. It lists "LUMIX DMC-ZS40 (DMC-TZ60, DMC-TZ61)" as supported with Camera Raw v.8.4 and Lightroom 5.4. Full list here: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html. Hope that helps!

I'm sorry to say that I can't help you because I don't use Macbook Pro AND my operating system is older than yours as well. But I would suggest you contact support provided by EZCAP as they were helpful to me with my Mac! Oh, you could try changing the default choice for what file format you want to use - I had to do that (choose the only other option available as they only had two)!

Sorry can't help. I have this software but have never tried it. I import into Lightroom and work there.

All responses are spot on. The downside of RAW is that software, such as iPhoto does not support RAW, and will not import the files. If you have/buy Photoshop Elements 6 Mac, you can download Adobe's plug-in which will allow importation of RAW format files.

I have a mac OS x 10.6.8 and it works perfectly fine. I also have photoshop elements and I have had no problems!

Your D-Lux 4 came with Capture One 4.x. Use that. It's not a good decision to purchase a camera based up it's compatibility with Adobe software products. Lightroom will open the D-Lux 4 raw files, but it triples the size (for now). I've played with D-Lux 4 raw and jpg files. Even though I shoot raw exlcusively with my DSLR, I've decided that the D-Lux 4 is more than a capable jpg camera. I stopped shooting raw with it and I'm very happy.

You have your choice of what format you want to save it as. I have not tried it with photoshop but I would assume you could just save it to a specific place (your desktop or a specified folder) and then import it into what ever program you wanted.

I just opened my preset list and it does include both Photoshop and Lightroom. It's pretty much customizable to just about any App. i use it for Final Cut Pro X and HATE not using it now. All the major shortcuts right there for me. I highly suggest getting one.

Definitely. Any Mac or PC should have some kind of photo downloading software pre installed. Plus if you use Lightroom 5, you can upload images straight to the library on that. Hope this helps!

Sorry I work with Windows, Lightroom 4.4 and Photoshop CS6. With Lightroom it works perfect.

Yes, you could format it as a NTFS or FAT32. Mac (as well as Windows obviously) supports both.

It does capture RAW with no difficulty. And most editing tools, from Lightroom on down to programs like Irfanview, easily manage that format.

If your iMac will support it, I think you should upgrade to Mavericks. As to whether you need LR5, check this article for the new features in LR5. I never ran LR before V5 so I can't quantify how much better LR5 is than LR4. http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/help/whats-new.html

It would be pretty slow compared to an internal hard drive. You could probably make it work alright if you keep the Lightroom catalog on a faster internal drive, and only used the USB drive to store image files.

Hi, I am not sure about whether Lightroom supports multiple card imports as I m only using XQD reader. I did not purchase the hub as to me it was not necessary for my kinda of work. Sorry I am not able to answer your question.

I've got an Intel-based mac, but I think it's probably more an issue of the software - so you should be fine, provided you are sporting the latest OS and iLife. I've now tried it with both iMovie 08 and FCP (whatever the most recent is). It's very straightforward in iMovie. Here's a crappy example of something I shot, imported and uploaded in under an hour:http://www.vimeo.com/1033464Ridiculously easy with iMovie. Not as straightforward with FCP. You have to find the HDV profile best suited to the camera (I'm still experimenting).

My wife uses Lightroom via a drive mapping and it works fine. The Synology is the mapped drive and shows up as a network drive. Make sure you are using a wired network because a wireless network could impact throughput.
