Raw files: Any suggestions?

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.

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.

The limits of what files can be read is dependant on the device doing the reading. RAW files will go on the drive just fine, but I don't believe there is a native way for iPhone to read or import them, without jailbreaking the device.

Good Question, I haven't had the opportunity to test it out. I'm not sure if the file type will be support. I'll test it and send out an update. Bobby

Make sure the media your using is formatted to FAT32 if you're not rooted and using Nexus Media Importer. If you're rooted I suggest the ParagonNTFS app (works great for all format types on rooted devices).

Yes, date stamp on the photo options are under Setup Menu #2. I don't know whether it date stamps the raw file but it does appear on the JPEG.

Yes. You can save RAW files in either DNG (digital negative) or Pentax's PEF format. The K200D has the option of saving RAW+JPEG. I have been saving RAW (DNG) + JPEG but Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2 works so well with DNG that I've changed to RAW only.

I'd be surprised if the camera was to blame. Try R-studio program to recover files if they are irreplaceable.

Yes.RAW is one of the options to save images-although, it does consume a lot more space on the SD card.

No - JPEG and NEF (Nikon RAW). If you want TIFF files for some reason, shoot in NEF and then convert them. This will be a higher quality image than an in-camera conversion would be anyway. Speaking of which, the Nikon NEF &gt; JPEG converter that runs on your PC is better than the one in the camera so I always shoot RAW.

The RAW files don't seem to get transfered in the app, and I'm not sure if you can even use them on the phone. I shoot RAW+JPG. It takes a few seconds per photo to download to phone, but it goes in a directory burred pretty deep. So then they have to be moved where you want them like the camera folder.

Any non-linear editor that supports .mts files. Even if they don't, there are tools you can find to convert MTS to AVI or whatever.

RAW is like a music track on a CD or a master while JPEG is like a compressed MP3 file -- they can sound indistinguishable but sometimes the MP3 won't sound quite as good. When a camera creates a JPEG image file, it tosses out data that appears to be unnecessary in order to make a smaller file. A RAW file is essentially the unprocessed image data and contains every last literal bit of image information. This gives you a wide latitude for manually adjusting white balance, etc. and bringing out details in dark and bright areas that might have been lost had the camera processed the image into a JPEG. For this reason, RAW can allow you fix images much easier. For example, if you've over-exposed certain areas in the scene so they look completely white, with RAW, you may be able to salvage some detail from those areas which wold have been processed away in a JPEG.

I copied the disk contents on a USB stick from a work system. You may want to do the same.

Looks like Adobe just released an update that now lets you take care of the RAW conversion without having to go via the Sony converter. http://www.imaging-resource.com/news/2014/06/20/adobe-lightroom-camera-raw-dng-converter-updates-support-12-new-cameras

Yes. It takes a bit of know how. I couldn't think of a better word than bit for how simple the task of converting files can be. Have you heard of Calibre? Try an Internet search for 'convert eread file'. Best of luck and enjoy the portability of your favorite literature!
