Question

Why can't Adobe Camera Raw apply the built-in lens profile to my RAW images?

I am taking RAW images in the DNG format using the camera on my drone, the DJI Mini 5 Pro. The problem is that for some reason Adobe Camera Raw seems unable to read the built-in lens profile contained in the metadata of each DNG image even though I am able to extract the lens profile from the metadata without difficulty using the free DGN Opcodes Editor app.

 

I did not have this problem when using the previous model of this drone, the DJI Mini 4 Pro. ACR was able to read the built-in lens profile contained in the metadata of each DNG image and automatically applied the approriate corrections to each image. It worked flawlessly.

 

So I can't undertand why ACR isn't applying the built-in profile contained in images from the DJI Mini 5 Pro. The metadata is there so why isn't ACR reading and applying it?

 

I'm using ACR 18.1.1 .

 

I can't seem to attach a file so here is a link to a random DNG image taken with the DJI Mini 5 Pro.

To repeat the request for help above, can anyone suggest why Adobe Camera Raw is not applying the lens correction profile built into the metadata of RAW files taken with the DJI Mini 5 Pro drone? I want to emphasise that I'm not asking for Adobe to create a lens correction profile for this lens (though that would be nice). I am asking why ACR isn't automatically applying the lens correction profile already built into the metadata of the RAW file, which is what it does with other lenses including for example the DJI Mini 4 Pro. Since the profile is already built into the metadata this does not require any work or input by Adobe.

I would very much appreciate any help with this.
