Panasonic GH5 - No Optics module available for this image to process

DxO PhotoLab
1

I’m new here, and just upgraded to Photolab from Optics Pro 10 last night because the website says that it’s compatible with the RAW files of my camera. I am also new to the camera I am using, so my problem could be on that end.

I am getting error when loading my RAW files, and I think I know what the problem is, but would like confirmation on my suspicion and info on what to do about it.

I’m using a Panasonic GH5 with a Novoflex adapter and Pentax lenses. Meaning, there’s no connection of information going from the lens to the camera. The camera has no clue what lens I have attached to it.

When I load the RW2 files into Photolab, each raw file says that there’s no Optics module available for this image to process. But, I can still process and export the image.

I think the error is because there’s no lens data in my EXIF and Photolab doesn’t know which lens I am using. Am I correct? Is there a way to make that error go away?

Thank you.

Hello Brooke,

Welcome to the DxO forum :slight_smile:

The message you see is just the the status of the optics module, it’s not an error.

For now we don’t have modules for Pentax lenses mounted on micro 4/3 cameras.
And you are right, as there is no connection we get focal length = 0.0mm, Aperture = F0.0 and we don’t have any lensname or lensid that could indicate which lens is used. Because of all these missing information, even if we had a module we could no use it on your photos.

Regards,
Marie
