Olympus OM-1

Submitted by David Partridge on

Is reported by the camera as "Olympus OM-1" but it only appears in the supported camera list as "OM Digital Solutions OM-1"

This means that software attempting to check that a camera is supported by using the camera list won't find it.

I've updated my local copy of LibRaw to add "Olympus OM-1" so that either string will be recognised. It would be great if you could also add "Olympus OM-1" in addition to "OM Digital Solutions OM-1".

As discussed many times on this forum pages, comparing camera name with LibRaw::cameraList() doesn't look like a good idea

So what is the preferred method of determining if the camera is supported if not that.

Thanks

Counterquestion:

Counterquestion:
we list Nikon Z9 as
"Nikon Z 9 (HE/HE* formats are not supported yet)",

Is Z9 supported or not?

Yes, of course I understand

Yes, of course I understand the issue of partial support. But nevertheless it doesn't make sense to pass a raw to LibRaw for decoding when the camera's not supported. So while the camera list isn't perfect (and I do understand that), in the absence of any other means to make that determination, that's what I have to do.

Clearly if there's the possibility of a better solution that could be implemented in the future, I'd be very happy to use that.

All the best
