Hi David, This is an issue with libgphoto, a standard Linux device access library that Shotwell uses to communicate with digital cameras. For higher-end cameras that shoot RAW photos, previews are sometimes hard to come by, because there's not a single RAW format (i.e., there's NEF, CR2, DNG, etc.). What's more, there are various ways of embedding a preview image within a RAW file. So what's happening here is that the current version of libgphoto doesn't understand the way your Panasonic Lumix encodes preview thumbnails. You may be in luck, however, because a new version of libgphoto has recently come out. The bug ticket that tracks Shotwell's migration to the newer version of libgphoto is here: http://redmine.yorba.org/issues/5553.
