Panasonic RW2 files with PSE14

I've just bought a new Panasonic DCTZ93 camera which produces RW2 files instead of RAW and PSE14 is unable to open these despite having plug-in version 9.5.0.585. Where do I go from here without having to convert each file to DNG?

    Other than using the 9.10.1 dng converter, if you want to stay with photoshop elements, there is no other option, since even pse 15 can't open those files, since adobe hasn't provided the needed 9.10.1 acr plugin for pse 15 either.

    The 9.10.1 acr plugin/dng converter is newer the the 9.5 acr plugin/dng converter.

    Other options are Lightroom 6 or subscribe to the creative cloud photograpghy plan to get both photoshop cc and Lightroom cc, both of which will open those files without the need for the dng converter.

    Very disappointing! Adobeneeds to step up and address this as there are

    many Panasonic Lumix who will benefit and are potential customers.

    To be fair, adobe hardly ever updates applications older than the current version.

    Meaning since pse 15 is out, pse 14 will never get another acr update past 9.5
