Supported cameras and raw formats
LumiRaw reads raw files with rawler, the decoder from the dnglab project. It has colour data for more than 700 camera models, and it opens DNG files from any camera or phone.

Counts include older models and variants of the same body. Apple is on the list too, for the QuickTake cameras from the nineties; iPhones save DNG, which is covered below.
DNG
A DNG carries its own colour data, so the camera doesn't need to be on the list. That covers DNGs written in camera by Pentax, Leica or Ricoh, files from Adobe's DNG Converter, and phones: iPhone ProRAW (including the JPEG XL compressed kind), Pixel and Galaxy.
Some DNGs are already demosaiced, like ProRAW or HDR merges from other programs. They're developed the same way as everything else, with their colour matrix and white balance.
Fujifilm X-Trans
X-Trans sensors don't use the Bayer pattern almost every other camera has, but a 6×6 arrangement. LumiRaw has a separate demosaic for them; running the Bayer one on an X-Trans file fills it with false colour.
If your file won't open
The page tells you why: a camera the decoder doesn't know, or a damaged file (usually one that got cut short while copying off the card). A camera released after this version of the decoder may not be in it yet. Until it is, converting the file to DNG with Adobe's free DNG Converter works around it, because a DNG carries its own colour data.
