Lightroom Cannot Open RW2 Files [from Panasonic Lumix GX850]

HI,

I just purchased the new Lumix GX850, largely because it shoots in RAW.  But Lightroom (and file explorer) cannot open the RW2 files.  I searched the Panasonic site and found a download for RW2 codec, but it is from 2009 and is too old to even run on my computer (Windows 10).  Is there something I can do?  Or do I need to await a further Lightroom/Camera Raw update. (I am running Camera Raw 9.8)  Any ideas?

Thank you!

Kevin

It's the same camera as the GF9.

If the Lightroom update hasn't shown up for you yet, you can get it here:  Download Photoshop Lightroom

There is a new model  which is not yet supported by Lightroom or Camera Raw. You will just have to wait for the next update and see if that model has been added to the group of supported cameras. That's one of the problems of purchasing brand-new cameras when they first hit the market. It takes time for Adobe to provide support for the files from those new cameras.

Hi there. We're definitely aware of this model and hope to support it in a future update of Lightroom.

Will this update appear today?  It is not showing up right now.  The GX850 is not listed among the cameras for this update.  It is the same type of file as another Panasonic camera listed?

Thank you!

I am not seeing 'previews' when i try to import RW2 files from my Lumix LX-10. I upgraded from 4 to 6 in an attempt to resolve this problem... Is there a fix?

Cameras supported by Camera Raw

The Lumix LX-10 was first supported in Lightoom 6.7. The current version is 6.10.

Check which version you are running. In LR click Help > System Info. Update to 6.10 via Help (Win) or Lightroom (Mac) > Updates.

Can I buy a standalone version of Lightroom...i.e. with Cloud subscription?

And if so, from where? Can't find it on Adobe website.

And...can anyone tell me if the current version of Lightroom recognises RW2 files from Lumix DMC LX7?

Any advice much appreciated.

Yes. Refer these steps

Download and install Lightroom 6 (Single App license)

And...can anyone tell me if the current version of Lightroom recognises RW2 files from Lumix DMC LX7?

Always check this table for which cameras are supported by which version of Camera Raw and Lightroom.

Cameras supported by Camera Raw

The Lumix DMC LX7 is 5 years old and has been supported by Lightroom since version 4.2. So, yes, the current version of Lightroom supports that camera.
