I shoot in RAW, will expo disc work or it will loose info once I transfer RAW files to computer?

The expo disk sets the white balance which is apart of the data set at exposure and nothing is lost

works great in RAW. Depending on your camera, choose custom white balance after taking a shot of the light falling on your scene with Expodisc and use that data for your pictures.

I've been shooting in JPG and RAW, the files are unaffected by ExpoDisc. I shoot on a Nikon D7000.

You should use it to set your custom white balance, which will be saved upon import. If you are importing into LR with a preset, make sure the WB is left intact. "As Shot"

No problem for RAW file .This is a great product for custom white balance.Just use it for the first frame in the new light situation.for more information take a look to this linkhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=COhMEcY5Tkk

It won't lose the information. I don't like this product. Instead of pointing the camera and shooting for white balance, you have to shoot towards the direction of the light source. It is difficult to capture flash white balance with this device.

If you shoot RAW only, you don't have to worry about white balance, and you don't need expodisc. Just fix the white balance on your computer.

Expo disc has no affect on your files per se. Expo disc works to "calibrate" your camera's WB by using custom white balance. Once you have captured the WB data/ image (depending on your camera's operation), THAT information is used to set the WB metering for your shot. On my Sony NEX-6 it's SUPER easy to calibrate; my Canon 6D takes a bit more time to set up. I will say this though: despite the set up time using the Expo Disc, it is worth it HANDS DOWN in the trade off for time in post and nailing the color perfectly 99% of the time. Is it better than a grey card? I think "yes" because I don't have to find the card and fiddle with color correction in post. Is it as convenient as a grey card to set up? No. But that's the trade off.

It depends if you opened the file (not extract it). I have had lots of problems with my game as well

glad you got things figured out. I'm still not sure why you can't just copy from your SD card directly, but personnally, I prefer to use PhotoFunStudio, and only pull my SD card when I can't find the USB cable.As far as the wind noise, if you haven't already, go to the movie menu, and turn "Wind Cut" on.

Install software + latest updates if any. Place the open passport in your scene with the lighting level - either outdoors in natural light or indoors in studio light. Take shots with the passport prominently positioned with all the color chips in sharp focus at normal settings and preferably in RAW format. Take additional images if the light changes - clouds, sun, overcast etc so that you have one good image in each lighting situation. Take all the additional shots you want. Upload your RAW images into Lightroom converting them to DNG format. Select the image(s) with the Passport prominently featured for each lighting condition. Drag the DNG image into the open Passport program and the app will "read" all the color chips and will set the proper white point and you can create a specific color profile for those particular lighting conditions. Name it and save it. This same profile can then be used for every future image in those particular lighting conditions. Your white point will be automatically fixed for every image that fits that particular color profile. The sliders in Lightroom can be further tweaked to adjust the image to your particular taste. X-Rite has instructional tutorials and webinars on YouTube. It takes a lot longer to explain the process than to perform it. The ColorPassport does all the work to industry color standards. Using it conjunction with ColorMunki monitor calibration will ensure that your prints will match exactly to what you see on your monitor and your printing results will also match perfectly whether you make your own prints or send them out to a pro lab. X-Rite also has many excellent live webinars which are very useful. Hope this helps. It is an excellent product designed for pro standards.

I called adobe yesterday on this. I want to upgrade from a CS upgrade. They said that will work fine. **EDIT: It worked, no problem. **

Are you recording from a a camera or another source using a rca input if will record in real time. It will burn to the disc when it is finalized. hope this answer your question

It's both, your ExpoDisc includes user selectable Warming Filters (Gels) you use for warming portraits. Without the gels it's neutral. More or less using it for exposure and white balance, like an incident exposure meter for your camera. Hope that helps

I have not found a way to do this (RAW .rw2 in iA mode). It records RAW fine in P and probably A, S, and M.

just take a jpeg image with the d2x and open the file with a program that is capable of reading all of the relevant ebedded data, such as photoshop cs5/6...go to file/file info/raw data...then look down the list for 'image number' and there you are!!

You use Verbatim discs and the program is Imgburn, that's all you need. with the stealth patcher as well. (abgx)

If your slides are high quality then yes, if not your basically just getting a picture of how the slide is, I have transferred my dads slides to my laptop, they were not high quality but you can go into a picture program an clean them up. Hope that helps.

No...it goes to memory card and than you have the option to download to your computer...Its easy to use and worked great...I use it on slides and negatives.....if you are looking for a easy and efficient way to do a transfer to digital...this is it. I had no problems, except once you do all the transfers,there is no other use for the device. It's just another standby device in my closet. But,it did what I wanted and exceeded expectations.

my understanding is it does not- and I wish it did- I wonder if a firmware update might make this possible? And just how likely such an update is? My gut says no, but i'm willing to bet they could sell a lot more of them if the unit did shoot raw. Perfect world, it would shoot Jpeg, RAW, and Jpeg+Raw. If it did, that would make me 100% more likely to buy one, as it is, I am waiting to see a few hands-on reviews before I commit to one.

When you copy JPEG files to the disc, does it rename the image files like in the older model?

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

Yes, it will just be a regular data file exactly like if you download from Adobe. Also Amazon allows you to download the software again from your account.

Hi Bob,I want to know that answer also as I'm interested in using the Zen Vision as a photo bank for my Nikon DSLR's. I went to the Creative webpage and couldn't find anything about RAW file compatability, so I left an email asking the question if the Zen would diplay a RAW file or not. I'll let you know what they say if I get a reply.Steve Smithstephen.smith.ctr@diego.af.mil
