Can't see photos in Lightroom (X-T1)

Recommended Posts

Hi;

This has to be me, but I have the X-T1 connected to a MacBook Pro running Lightroom CC 2015 with all updates.

 

I plug the camera in and seek to import - Camera shows up in Lightroom as "USB PTP Camera" but "No Photos Found".

SD card imports directly OK.

 

Is it me?

 

Thanks

Bob

Bob, I use an X-T2, so it maybe a little different. I tried out connecting my camera directly to my iMac and in Lr CC the X-T2 shows up as a device, and the photos show up, plus I can download them to Lr plus the computer!

 

Check in Lr that it treats Jpegs and RAF files separately, try selecting show both in Lr and see if that makes a difference!

 

If memory serves me well there used to be two settings for the USB! PTP and some thing else(can't remember what it was called), I seem to recall that was changed later! Check the X-T1 menu system!

 

My camera shows in Lr as X-T2.

 

PS "Mass Storage" as the other USB setting springs to mind!

Thanks, Mike;

No luck so far - Played with all the settings to no avail.

I also have a Panasonic TZ-100 which plugs in, is recognised and downloads pics.

 

Camera is sometimes recognised as XT-1 but not always and when it is recognised, still doesn't show photos.

 

Frustrated of Sandhurst :(

Bob, 

 

I sometimes have the same issue, on this moment i looks (to me) more the sequence you have power up the XT1 before or after starting LR?

 

I am sure but you can give a try, best regards,

 

Peter

    • The Tentacle Sync Timecode tool is the one I tried. I couldn't get it to work. But that is probably my fault, not the software. I seemed to get a file, but I couldn't turn it into anything meaningful. 
    • I am glad to read you are able to get this up and running. Pretty much as long as you connect the camera and turn it on and wait a few moments for the computer to register the connection, you can then use Image Capture (which actually is a very decent program with a lot of options for transferring images from cameras to the computer) or Lightroom or other programs to move the images to your library. There are some drawbacks; connecting to the computer while it is in sleep mode will waste your time, the connection will not get recognized— you will have to unplug the camera, wake the computer and start over. Trying to connect while the screen saver is running may work, it may not, often not. If the computer goes into screen saver mode while the camera is connected and sitting idle, it usually stays connected when coming back out of screen saver, but if the computer mputer goes into sleep mode, the connection gets dropped and you have to unplug it and start over. I suggested having the camera turned off while connecting, this is to lower the possibility of static electricity discharges frying either the camera or the computer or both. A lot of times you can connect while the camera is turned on, but not always, sometimes you have to unplug, turn it off, reconnect and turn it back on. A lot of this comes from Apple’s approaches towards keeping USB devices from hijacking your computer, some is just hubris and some is from the vagaries of chance. p.s. Your laptop should be able to connect to the camera.
    • Hi Chas, I am just fallen into the rabbit hole of investigating how to upgrade my X-T4's video sound... Loving the idea of time code sync, I am now quite concerned that the X-T4 doesn't support it, although I have already seen different statements on the net, like here:  https://youtu.be/xja27RmvbhE?si=hIch3Tu_MH_pWSBH&t=571 I have to admit, this guy's "explanation" gets quite confusing in his further discourse ...:) BUT, as you wrote that you use Tentacle Sync for Windows!, did you also try with their windows-only software "Time Code Tool" which you find here?: https://tentaclesync.com/timecode-tool   Would love to here if you found a workaround with the XT4 Best, Simon
    • It occurred sometime when I focus. It is not silent
