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.

I'm not really sure and I've had mine for a year, but maybe try to make image smaller and make sure the photos are under JPEG cause if there not they wont work! Cause I know none of mine were JPEG and so it wouldn't work!

I have this camera and it doesn't have a setting for RAW. I use other cameras for that. However, it does very well at shooting in damp conditions, dust, etc and is fairly small, lightweight, so it makes a great backup camera in conditions that daunt the type with removable lenses. It goes up to 16 Megapixels, so better than adequate quality. I would highly recommend it, but not if you really want RAW.

Hmm, that's really odd. My best guess would be the card first, I've taken a good amount of raw files in my 60 & I've never encountered anything on that matter. If the card was the issue then awesome, but if you try other cards and it seems to be the camera itself; then I would recommend calling canon directly. Here is the number & I hope this was helpful! : 1 800 652 2666 :D

I agree with Steven. The camera is fine. Jason apparently has not set it up correctly. The CD that came with my camera installs, but nothing happens when I run it. However, it is not necessary for installation if you know your way around networks. Also, the zip file mentioned by others is corrupt.

First, I'm in the market to buy this camera, I don't own one. I'm not trying to complain about the posts so far, but I'm wondering if you are simply using the auto mode when indoors, or have you tried other modes (Indoor Mode), ISO speeds, etc that the camera comes equipped with? If the images are "VERY POOR", what exactly have you tested? (Others report indoor images have been good).

My experience: return/sell the camera and buy anything else. Sorry I couldn't help more - but the camera is very poor quality.

No, nothing shows up at all, except that the drive is attached. I backed the drive up from my computer, not directly from the camera, could this be why? I have contacted Kodak and they will not help because they say it is not supported.

I have always unloaded my pictures via my camera card into my computer. I tried previously and it did not recognize the card. The other day I started the process of learning to connect via WIFI. I created the "camera name" and went to the Canon website. I eventually became frustrated and decided to try inserting my card again into my laptop. This time it worked. So I was able to unload all my pictures the way I was used to doing. Maybe this would be another option for you to try??

We have had the same problem , my son was interested in the instant camera so we have bought 2 different cameras on line and have bought film at the camera store as well as Amazon, it's still the same. Maybe the cameras are too old or the film is just not manufactured right.

My understanding from reading posts on dpreview, www.dpreview.com, the jpgs are excellent. I cannot comment personally since I only shoot RAW.

Hello, I had no problem. I didn't even format it. I just put it in and it worked. Are you sure it's the right card for your camera. Maybe you should return it and try a new one. It may be defective, or call the manufacturer customer service.

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.

make sure to read the film loading directions carefully, film has to be loaded when camera is on. If camera still doesn't work try maybe taking it in to a camera store and seeing if they can help you. If that doesn't work I would send it back. I just bougt this camera and I am not having this issue, so once you eliminate user error you may have received a glitchy one.

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.

Yes, raw images open directly in camera raw automatically. You can also choose to open JPEG in raw as an option, although you won't have access to as many functions.
