    Presently, you need to use Camera Raw 6.7rc from here for support: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/ca...

    Is the Nikon D800 compatible with LR4? It won't let me import NEF's.

    When is the ETA on a solution for CS5 extended? I purchased the upgrade based on the website's claims that the extended version was compatible with the D800, and was very disappointed that in fact it's still not quite there. I cannot view any of my still images in either the bridge or CS5 Extended. The error I get reads to the effect that Adobe Camera Raw is not compatible.

    Please help!?!

    I am facing similar issues as I just received my D800. Also I am not able to open .NEF-files in PSE9. Are these issues going to be fixed in LR4 and PSE9?

    I believe what you have is a known issue. If you shoot stills in live view video mode, those NEFs will not import. We are working on a fix for this problem. Thank you for taking the time to report it.

    well i did some demo shots at my local dealer. changed iso level from 800 up to max. and did that with d4 and d800. after that i took 2 videos with each camera.

    now at home i tried to import all pictures. all pictures and videos taken with d4 import well. the 2 videos from d800 import well too, but 2 picture from d800 don't.

    the videos have an extension .mov so i can say that the problematic files are pictures.

    i just remember that i tried a litte to find out how to start video. i changed to "Q"-mode, and i changed to liveview. maybe these 2 pictures where taken with one of those options on.

    do you want to see one of those files?

    the error is:

    Die Dateien stammen aus einer Kamera, die von der RAW-Formatunterstützung in Lightroom nicht erkannt wurde. (2)
    DSC_0490.NEF
    DSC_0491.NEF

    there's also no preview availabe in import dialog

    Can you tell me more about the files that did not import? What settings did you use? Where you in video mode when you shot these files?
