Feature Request: Support for Sony A7 V Compressed (HQ) RAW files in Lightroom / Camera Raw

Hi Adobe team,

I would like to submit a feature request for support of Sony A7 V Compressed (HQ) RAW files in Lightroom and Adobe Camera Raw.

At the moment, only Lossless Compressed RAW files from the A7 V are supported. Files captured using Compressed (HQ) (as well as standard compressed RAW) are not recognized as fully editable RAW files—they import as previews or are not editable, and they also cannot be converted to DNG using the Adobe DNG Converter.

Compressed (HQ) is a primary file format option on the A7 V and is extremely helpful for managing file sizes—especially for high-volume workflows such as events and weddings. Adding support for this format would significantly improve workflow efficiency, storage management, and flexibility for photographers using this camera.

Request:

Please add support for Sony A7 V Compressed (HQ) RAW files in Lightroom and Adobe Camera Raw in an upcoming update.

If possible, it would also be helpful to know whether this support is already planned or currently in development.

Thank you for your continued support of Sony users and RAW workflow improvements.
