Develop mode no Lens Profile for Panasonic camera

I try to apply a lens profile for the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LF1 for a set of JPG files in desktop Lightroom Classic — The desktop-focused app ! Classic 8.3. There seem to be many choices for smart phones (Apple, Google, Huawei, etc.) and a few for makes like Canon and Sony, but none for other regular camera makes.

Am I doing something wrong? What should I do to apply a profile or should I not do that at all?

Thanks,  Sander

    As far as I know, JPEGs from mirrorless (and compact) cameras will have lens corrections embedded in them in creation. The Raw's should have the 'Built In Profile Applied'.

    Sean - Can you tell me what it means for RAWs "Built in profile applied"?  Is that something I change in the camera?  I have the Lumix FZ300 and I'm trying to figure out the Lense Correction for my camera model.  Thanks  Leslie

      Jim & Sean, Thank you both. It must be as you say. I will consider the JPG files as suitably corrected as produced by the camera.

      Fact remains that Apple seems not to apply any lens correction to its JPG files, nor a bunch of other phone cameras...

      Most lens profiles are for raw files. I'm not familiar with that specific camera, but for many of that type of camera lens correction profiles are built into the camera itself. There probably won't be any profiles provided by Adobe.
