Yes; that's exactly what is happening to me, I can open the RAW files with no issue but the colors are way subdued in the 1.6v. I have downloaded the Beta now and the image is much 'closer' in vivid colors to the original processed from RAW in the G9 although it still looks underexposed compared to the original but I can at least export files correctly.

Sure haven't but I would love to try it. Thanks for the suggestion!! Downloading it now; hope it works.

Never mind.. I see this is an issue that has been going on for quite some time and it has not been corrected. Raw File issues related to Panasonic DC G9 within this forum. Having a Windows machine I am unable to change Raw Engine format so I'm basically stuck here. Any suggestions on other software? It's a shame because I have been a long time Affinity user but this definitely stops me from using it. As it is the monitor needs to render colors as close as possible and now having Affinity Photo subdue the entire image makes it very difficult to do anything but edit jpg's.

Wow.. having this EXACT same issue and I notice it's been quite some time that it has been reported. This post if 7 months old and the camera has been around for longer than that. I'm guessing nothing will be done about it? A preset option does not even come close to the RAW export the camera can do to jpg so this is definately not a good option. Any suggestions on other software that supports Lumix G9? (NOT Adobe) Having to convert is having to keep more data which is also way to cumbersome. thank you

Thanks for the info on changing the Raw Engine; I don't seem to have any other option than 'Serif Labs' on my machine. Am I missing something here?

Jkizew, where did you make the change of the RAW engine? I'm running a Windows 10 machine but still can't find an option for raw engine. Thank you

I'm having the exact same issue. I tried the option you suggested and had no effect on the image colors. I think I understand why you suggested because of the "Apply color reduction" but did not help. Any other suggestions? Camera RAW development is has much brighter colors, once I open the RAW file it has dimmed faded colors without making ANY adjustment. FYI: Lumix G9 Thank you
