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

Keep in mind that if Panasonic (and others) included a Save to DNG option in their in-camera menu then no Camera Raw update would be required from Adobe, Capture One or anyone else. You could then open your DNG files in any imaging software on the day you buy the camera.

That's why Adobe developed the DNG format almost 20 years ago.

Does anyone know when Lightoom 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 for this to happen? 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?

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.
