All my custom settings on the GH5 was set to JPEG by mistake and not RAW. So yeah that sucks pretty bad. However, the GX80 and all the custom settings on the GH4 were set to RAW. I don't know how I made that mistake with the GH5 unless I was changing the settings when my head was banging. Since I was ill on the trip, I didn't pay much to my settings and I should have spotted it within a few hours.

Don't you back up your images at the end of each day? That might've been an opportunity to notice a folder full of jpegs and no raws.

In any case, sorry to hear the trip didn't meet your expectations.  I guess it's a warning to all of us that we should try to find a way to enjoy a trip even if our expectations are crushed.

Last year I was diagnosed with an immune disease and so had to miss a Panama trip that we had planned with friends and family.  (Got the diagnosis a couple of weeks before the trip!)

But I was still able to scrape some fun out of it by compiling the photos and videos everyone captured into a video.  During some of the fun parts I spliced in clips of me eating dinner alone to tamp down the levity.

So maybe you can enjoy your bird photos.
