That's right: the Ricoh GXR outputs DNG v1.0 uncompressed files. If you want to save some space on disk, move them from the card to the computer using the latest version of Adobe's DNG Converter application and turn on the compression. It can save as much as 40% on disk space. For instance, a folder of 50 Ricoh GXR original DNG files, passed through DNG Converter 7.1 with medium size previews embedded, goes from 950 Mbytes to 565 Mbytes. Over time, this adds up quickly so I do it as a matter of course when I'm working with the GXR and other cameras that output uncompressed native DNG files. -- Godfrey godfreydigiorgi.posterous.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
