Just to clarify, this is what you could get from the DNG format or is this a JPEG? Could you happen to provide a direct file sample via a site like Dropbox?

Hi Dji-Jamie, here is a link to my DNG RAW files.

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/tzden ... TrB2O42EwFGaZa?dl=0

I have not tried JPG since I am only interested in RAW files as a professional photographer and always need to get the maximum data out of each file.

It would be good to know whether the effect occurs in JPEG in order to do some troubleshooting. When you import files into Adobe, do they get processed via Adobe directly, Cinelight or the Camera Exporter? Just to clarify, this is only when you are taking stills and not when shooting RAW video, correct?

I tried with RAW + JPG setting now and JPG's come out perfectly normal. So the problem is in Adobes and Dji way of communicating in RAW (DNG) file.

There are two possible ways of explaining this.
1. There is no suport for the X5 (FC550) camera in Adobe camera RAW if you try to choose manual lens profiles in Adobe camera RAW.
But then that dosent make sense since all olympus lenses work fine...

2. it could also be related to the automatic lens profiles that are automatically attached to DNG file from the X5 and then int conflicts in Adobe camera RAW.

To clarify, how are you importing the X5R files onto your computer?

I don't have the X5R just the X5.

I remove the memory card from the camera and put it into a SD card adapter that came with the memory card and then straight into my macbook pro where it's drag and drop like all other camera systems I use.

I am 100% certain that the transfer has nothing to do with this issue.

I'm unable to even open your files in Camera Raw. I'm getting a 'program error' that I don't remember ever seeing before. In the Preview app, it shows the  same distortion you're talking about in the two images I downloaded. I don't think there is much question that the files are corrupt. Have you tried using the DJI 15mm? I think that's the test that will confirm it's a camera related issue having nothing to do with the lens.

When I open a X5 DNG file of mine in Camera Raw it shows (at the bottom) that it's using the imbedded lens profile. I've never gotten it to show any of the Olympus lens I own. My guess is that imbedded data is somehow corrupt on your camera. The distortion appears as an extreme version of the normal lens profile correction. You should probably start by reloading the firmware on the X5. If you are like me and also own an Osmo, you might try placing the latest bin file from both Osmo and the Inspire on separate SD cards and seeing if an update begins in their respective  machines and/or check the text file on the card afterwards. Obviously I'm assuming you have the latest FW installed already.

So I've had the files run on a few different systems and I've found that it's not a camera issue. The DNG file looked fine on a Windows version of Lightroom and a stock DNG viewer. I tried it on a Mackbook that had stock programs on it, and it produced the same effect as what you're getting. Do you happen to have any other programs to view DNG files? Have you tried getting in contact with Adobe as well?

DJI-Jamie. Can you check if the Windows/Lightroom and the DNG viewer are accessing the included lens profile. May be helpful if the problem can be isolated to that profile and your tests could support or disprove that theory with that info.

Hi,
Thank you fr looking into this!

its not my camera if you read my whole post. It works perfectly fine with all olympus and the Dji lens.
JPG come out fine and RAW therapee opens the file striped from automatic lens corrections and the it works.

I got an answer from Adobe now and it is a Dji issue where the "opcode list 3" is locked to read only and is not written as expected due to Dji not supporting the Panasonic lenses.

There are ways to strip the file from the opcode and exif but no success yet since list 3 is looked by Dji.
I will continue to try this.

What version of Adobe camera RAW did you use on the windows machine?

I use 9.7.0.668 on a macbook pro with OSX 10.11.6

Please can you make Adobe ad the FC550 camera to the dji list in camera RAW its only the FC350 available there.

The only thing I've ever found is a command line program that isn't exactly easy to use. If you comfortable in the terminal, you should be able to make it happen.

We didn't apply a lens profile to the DNG file when we imported it. In one of the examples we ran through Lightroom, file 0319, the lens EXIF data does read as the LUMIX G 42.5 F1.7.

Yes thats what so weird. one out of ten times when i take pictures the files will not get corrupted for some reason and the lens profile will show correctly in camera RAW. Why is it not consistent?

I have tried it on several mac's but no difference. But all are pretty much updated to latest software.

Did you get it to work on an mac? In that case what firmware then?

It is finally resolved trough a program for mac called opcode remover

Link: http://www.bitstorm.de/OPCODE_Remover.zip

Only use this program at your own risk and please do it on copys of the original files in case they get damaged.

It worked form me. Now I can use two great Panasonic lenses (optically better than similar Olympus lenses) and my new Sigma 60mm F2.8 DN ART

Now I'm a happy photographer!

Hi Alex,

I'm battling the same issue! Great that you have found a solution... However, the link is dead... Do you still have the file and would you be able to share it?

I have Oly 45mm lens in my small collection for X5 camera, but I'm not really impressed by image quality this lens is delivering. Poor sharpness and colour articulation are among the most obvious. Since I'm much more into video than stills, the RAW distortion issue you're talking about is of lesser significance to me. How this evidently better Panasonic lens cooperate with X5 body in terms of gimbal balancing?

Out of curiosity, Is this issue happening with the DJI 15mm at all?
