I'm jusing LR6 on a MacBook Pro and just bought the new Lumix S5M2 - and Lightrom does not support the RAW file coming out from the camera. I have tried to find a solution, or a 3rd party app or plugin that can help me with Lightroom.. but no luck. So - do I have to turn away from LR to be able to enjoy and adjust my images?

The answer is in this thread many times right above your post. The reason it is not supported yet is that Panasonic uses a propretary raw format and Adobe (and other raw engines) first have to buy the camera and profile waht it does in different light conditions before it can be supported. Were they to use an open raw forat such as dng or were they to share prerelease versions with raw converter makers, this wouldn't happen every time a new camera is released. You will have to wait until the next version of Lightroom (probably a few weeks out if history is an indicator) before you will see support for raw files from the new camera. In the mean time, convert to tiff using the camera maker's software but keep the raw files for future processing.

I have recently acquired the Lumix S5 Mark II and was saddened to see that the RW2 format is yet to be supported on Adobe software. I am currently on Mac.

I understand this is a new model so delays are understandable. I just wanted to make this posting to highlight the issue. Thanks

Do let Panasonic know you are disappointed in them holding your raw data from having support for all software products (unlike the JPEG) as this delay is their fault entirely.

Does anyone know when Camera Raw will be updated to be able to process raw files from Panasonic Lumix s5 mark 2? It was released in January 2023 so it's still pretty new. Does it usually take a long time? I had just assumed (I shouldn't have) that the raw files would be the exact same as the previous model, the S5. And I now have a bunch of raws I can't edit, far from ideal!

Can anyone recommend a workaround in the meantime? Some way of converting these Panasonic Lumix S5ii raw files to a format that is readable by Adobe?

Thanks in advance? Fingers crossed...

We currently don't have an ETA for the specific camera. We're aware that the compatibility of this camera is much needed.

You can check this page in the next update for Lightroom Classic & Camera Raw to know the cameras that get added: https://helpx.adobe.com/camera-raw/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html

Hi !

I just received my Panasonic S5 II. I'm happuy but... Lightroom won't open the RAW files 😞

I there anything to do or do I "just" have to wait Lightroom next update?

Any other software would open them?

Thanks

Yes, you just have to wait for an update to come along with the required raw support.

I can't open raw2 files from my panasonic lumix s5mk2

That camera model doesn't yet appear in the list of supported cameras: https://helpx.adobe.com/camera-raw/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html

Presumably support will be available in a future Lightroom update.

Hi Team, This camera is out allready for a month now, is there any sight on an update so we can use Lightroom Classic to work with the RAW files of this body type? Version 12.1 (update 3 days ago) isn't recognizing the RAWS.

Thanks, kind regards Wendy

Yes you state RAW, but I need to ask, that was the ARW file corect?

Not, by mistake, the HEF (HEIF) raster format, correct?

WendyPeer

Participant

Correct! the ARW files. I haven't used HEF (HEIF) yet.

Hello everyone,
I've converted the new SONY a7Rv RAW files into a7Riv files using the exiftool [ exiftool -sonymodelid="ILCE-7RM4" -ext ARW -r ]. It successfully changes the data but I still cannot import the RAW files into Lightroom. Any ideas?

Wait for LrC v12.1, and hope.

ahh, and their it is!

Any news on when to expect an update to support RAW files for Sony A7r5? The camera is basically useless to me until they do. I know there is a workaround that converts the file (one at a time) to appear as if it is a a7rIV file (and that does work, BTW), but is there an automated workaround to convert hundreds of files?

Sigh. This is being asked and answered time after time, and the answer is always the same. Be patient. People who know this are not allowed to tell you because of the NDA they signed.

Is there any word on Raw support in Lightroom classic for the Sony A7r V? You'd think they'd have had compatibility already for such a popular and anticipated camera...

Camera released Oct 26th, LrC 12 released Oct 18th.
LrC update expected in a couple of weeks hopefully the Camera gets support then.
