Lensun uses the camera model detection for essentially two things: * to know the crop factor of the camera model for calculation of correction * to use the lens mount information to show you a relevant list of lenses for manual selection So you could basically choose any Micro 4/3 camera for that field and get the same results. > What should I do to make darktable automatically select my camera/lens set? The mil-panasonic.xml file needed an entry for the camera. I added it in the git repository, hopefully it will show up in your next update. If you really need to, you can modify your local copy similarly, by just copying the entry for G6, for instance, and changing that one little number.
