The Panasonic Lumix S5 II (LUMIX DC-S5M2) requires camera raw 15.2 or newer.

https://helpx.adobe.com/camera-raw/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html

 

Pse 2023 installs camera raw 14.4, so you need a newer camera raw version such as the current 15.5 version

on this page. It says 15.4, but the download is actually 15.5.

 

You can update pse 2023 by following these directions:

 

Update the Camera Raw version on your Mac or Windows machine

 

Find out how to update the Camera Raw version on your Mac or Windows machine.

Note:
 

The following is a workaround to update Camera Raw within Elements. It is recommended to wait for Camera Raw updates within the product for issue fixes. 

If you haven't been able to update the Camera Raw plug-in for Elements, follow these steps:

    • Quit all Adobe applications.

      • On macOS, double-click the .dmg file to mount it.
      • On macOS, double-click the .pkg file to start the installer. 
      • On Windows, double-click the downloaded .exe file to start the installer.
    • Follow the on-screen instructions.

    • Once installed successfully, close the installer window.

    • Navigate to the following folder:

      • On macOS: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Plug-ins/CC/File Formats
      • On Windows: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CC\File Formats
    • Copy the Camera Raw plug-in from the CC > File Formats folder that is mentioned in the above step.

    • Navigate to the following folder: 

      • On macOS: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Plug-ins/Elements<Version Number>/File Formats
      • On Windows: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\Elements<Version Number>\File Formats
    • Replace the existing Camera Raw plugin in Elements<Version Number> folder with the plug-in that you copied in step 8.

You should modify your instructions. The Windows download is actually an EXE file. The difference may confuse some folks.
