It seems like I´m not the only one with this problem, however I couldn´t find anywhere how to solve it so far.
The Raw files (RW2) from my Lumix DC-S5M2 won´t open in darktable (version 4.4.2) with, saying it can´t read the white balance information. However as far as I know darktable should be supporting the camera/ the RW2 files. Are those 2 different things? A RW2 sample picture from the original S5, that I downloaded from DP review opened without problems. Doesn´t darktable support the S5II?
Each camera needs to be specifically supported (with a general exception for DNGs, though that can be problematic as well). So we explicitly support the S5 RW2 flavor, but apparently not yet your camera’s RW flavor.
Can you see if we already have samples from your camera at https://raw.pixls.us ?
Support should be coming for the latest S5ii(x) in the next release along with the S1Rii, S9, GH7 and G9ii. I’ve been testing it using my S1Rii. Raw files from these models were using a new/different format and no one had time to port it from libraw to rawspeed until recently.
I know there is a libraw workaround in the meantime.

Hi István,
I’m sorry if my question sounded accusatory - that wasn’t my intention at all.
I really appreciate darktable and see that there are so many updates that I was wondering if it is really not possible to develop the RW2 of the Panasonic S5M2. Actually I just wanted to know if I am doing something wrong, because darktable writes: “…unsupported file format”.
But my question has now been answered by jdneumeyer
Thank you very much.
I’m sorry about the snarky reaction. Currently, the camera support page does not list the camera. Based on Jordan’s response, that will change with 5.2.
