Raw Support from Adobe for Panasonic DMC FX150

Fri, 11/28/2008 - 17:56 — Alan

If you're interested in RAW .rw2 support for the Panasonic DMC FX 150, have a look at the recent post on the Lightroom Journal.

There seems some work-around for the Panasonic files. Might be a while before I get to post about this because it may force me down the upgrade route, e.g. Leopard 10.5 and/or Lightroom 2.x. I'm still using 10.4 and Lightroom 1.4 and happy with that combination other than the lack of raw file processing for the Panasonic.

I'll see how far I get and post back.

Sorry to hear about the Japanese-only menus

Maybe it's because I'm on Mac OS X, but I don't use the included software at all - so you're not missing much there. The CDs are back in the box. In fact, I preferred RawPhotoProcessor for OS X or RawTherapee on Windows/Linux to the bundled SilkyPix.

You can get the manuals at http://www.panasonic.co.uk:80/html/en_GB/220239/index.html#anker_220239

That leaves you with the menu and unfortunately I've no answers for that one. I've followed your thread over at dpreview. Doesn't sound like you're having much luck there either.

Sorry I can't help more. I hope you find a good way of working with your camera.

Stay aware from the FX-150 built only for japanese market!

A friend of mine came from Japan two weeks ago and bought a FX-150 for me. Unfortunately - and none of us heard about it before - there's a camera version produced only for the japanese market, with menus, software and manuals ONLY IN JAPANESE!

I tried to contact Panasonic global support and ask them for a firmware update and english version of the software, but there's no way to find their e-mail address... and the Brazilian support don't answers questions about cameras bought in foreign countries (they don't sells the FX-150 here... how could buy it???)
