They import just fine.

No camera profile ready as yet though, but I am sure it won't be long.

I put sd card in computer then open light room and import from sd card , check all then import . I get message ""the following files were not imported because they could not be read or the destination folder is not writeable ""
Then I have list of all photos listed as
DJI_0001.DNG

That is because you need the Adobe .DNG converter and ACR (Adobe Camera Raw)converter. Not sure if you are using a Mac or Windoze machine but you will need the converters for your machine to read them. And tada: Camera Raw installer for Adobe Photoshop CC and CS6

What version of Lightroom are you using and are you on OSX/Mac or Windows?

Andart · Jan 10, 2017

Windows and latest lightroom

Camera profile is already built in and automatically applied to RAW pics.

Did you try to copy files onto PC hard drive first and import pictures from there. I always do it this way and I never had issues.

Browse to the card in explorer, and drag the files onto your PC? If you don't have a way to put the card in, get an adapter.

So do I create a file then open it and browse .
I told you I'm a beginner.
How do I browse?

From Windows explorer. Look for your sd card.

One thing to remember that wasn't mentioned. Lightroom (namely Adobe) can be slow to update the lens correction profiles. In this case, don't panic, just use a DJI for the P4 and you should be okay.

Thanks for tip .
I'm sure once I get my photo on lightroom I'll be pestering ha ha

There is another topic here (Photo center off color) addressing a problem with the Mavic DNG profile that shows a circular color cast in the center of most images.

You can correct it using a circular gradient, like the one shown there, but I hope DJI fixes it in a next firmware update.

I also use the Phantom 4 profile, but reduce the distortion, as the Mavic camera, with its higher field of view, shows almost none.

Camera profile in terms of lens correction and the like, are you saying that is built in, that is now exactly a RAW file.

hmm, the P4 and Mavic have very different lens and field of view. I doubt your suggestion would work.

It's not a baked-in correction, but modern RAW files include both the RAW data and a matching manufacturer-suggested correction profile that the processing software (and user) may or may not choose to use.

Can you site your resources? Wiki seems to disagree.

Raw image format - Wikipedia

What I believe you're referring to is the ability to shoot in both RAW and JPG at the same time. In that case, the RAW file is just that...raw, and the JPG is processed within the device, where lens correction, color profile, compression, etc. is all done for you.
