Hi, I’m working with darktable 4.6.1 and the pictures from my new camera cannot be opened:

What can I do?
Thanks for any help.

Hi @juma welcome to the community!

Upgrade to the latest release, 5.0.1.

You can see a list of supported cameras for the latest version at camera support | darktable

Also note that HE compression mode is not currently supported in any version…

I can’t imagine why you can’t install the latest version of DT to solve the issue. But if you must stick with such an old version of DT then using Adobe DNG converter will provide I way of editing any unsupported camera for any editing software as long as Adobe DNG converter supports that camera and they are pretty quick to offer this support.

There are also more improved features in the latest version of DT.
