Created attachment 102082 [details] Image to reproduce the problem With the pictures from my Panasonic Lumix TZ71 the camera make, model and lens are displayed as "unavailable" in the properties sidebar. With the exiv2 command line utility I can find this information. I did reread metadata from tags, that does not change the situation. I attached an example image. There is nothing related in stdout/stderr of digikam.
Correction: I also cannot find the lens property with exiv2 command line tool, so that is not a digikam issue. But not finding camera make and model seems to be.
Problem is not reproducible here. The camera make and model is displayed in the properties sidebar. Maik
This depend of : - ligphoto2 camera driver if Gphoto is used. Some camera driver can be incomplete. - camera interface settings to handle complete metadata with Exiv2 (see DK Setup dialog) Gilles Caulier
Same here on 5.3.0: "Make" and "Model" are shown as "unavailable" in right pane properties for all my cameras (Lumix, Canon) and smartphones. ("Lens" works for me.) However, they are shown correctly in the metadata editor's EXIF tab (will upload a screenshot on a minute). Are these both places using different libs/access methods? Heinz

Created attachment 102189 [details] Screenshot Everything is displayed correctly. Please test digiKam-5.3.0 AppImage bundle for Linux: http://download.kde.org/stable/digikam/ Maik
Same result with the digiKam-5.3.0 AppImage bundle and a newly imported small test folder: Maker/Model "unavailable" in the properties pane. My default setup is using a MySQl DB. I did another test with SQLite ("digikam --database-directory /home/kramski/Digikam") and voila: the exact same set of sample images is displayed correctly.

(P.S.: "Make" and "Model" seem to be ok in MySQL's ImageMetadata table for the test image shown in my last screenshot.)
