[LRFlex] Re: More DMR shots with downloadable RAW files

Peter,

Could I ask you or perhaps some of the other lucky guys who have been able to 
get their hands on a DMR about the flash capabilities, in the discussion forums 
before it was released there was a lot of talk about different TTL flash 
capabilities for R8 (of which I am a happy owner) and R9 and during this latest 
exchange it was mentioned that there was no TTL capabilities. Can you bring 
light on the subject?

Thanks,
Tim

Douglas,

> what are the options for adjusting colour balance on the DMR ?

You have of course Auto Color Balance and you can manually set the color
temperature as well as some pre-defined parameters.

Most of the time I have used Auto and corrected in Photoshop if there
was the need. For the "Sunrise" photo on
http://www.leicaphoto.net/Download/DMR_Raw/index.html
which was taken at 04:30 in the morning I had manually set the color
temperature to 9200K

Cheers
