Nikon Z6 bugs only. Interestingly Nikon Z7 raw files don't have these issues. Nikon SDK for both cameras was released and updated on the same date, 18/11/18. Is Adobe Lightroom perhaps using Z7 SDK for Z6?

1) Nikon Z6 raw files are rendered incorrectly. Unlike Z7 the Z6 RAW presets do not carry over.
2) Adobe WB for Z6 is broken. WB Auto has a huge magenta cast, other Adobe WB presets have huge color shifts rendering files useless.
3) None of the Nikon Z-series lens corrections are correct. If lens correction is enabled the lenses are recognized as incorrect lens models.

Akash, the Nikon Z6 Auto WB and WB Presets issue appears to be fixed in ACR 13.2.

This issue should be fixed in the Camera Raw 13.2 update that went live today. This update includes fixes to some of the top customer reported issues among other bug fixes. See: Fixed issues in Camera Raw

To update Camera Raw 13.2, click "Update" in the Creative Cloud desktop app next to Camera Raw. See: More detailed instructions for updating

Let us know how it goes.

Thanks,

@Steffen70 while I would love to be able to fix this for you, I don't work for Adobe. Rikk is clearly aware and makes sure important threads get in front of the right engineers, but the product managers make the decisions at the end of the day.

Dear Victoria, we're still waiting for a solution please. It had been promised since April/May by Rikk. Meanwhile i have been paying € 13 every single month. (well, i have been paying € 312 since Dec 2018 when i bought my first Z lenses from Nikon). It's really not fair to let your longtime loyal customers down like this.

Dear Victoria, i can confirm Jao's description. I don't know whether it's 75% (my guesstimate is more in the 60-70% range) but LR somehow miscalculates the embedded infos in the Nikon files and then applies incomplete correction.

It always says vignetting too for the lenses I use and you can clearly see it corrects about 75% of the vignette present which you can check by turning off the correction in Capture NX-D. It corrects most but not all of the present vignette.
