I have cross posted this to the Camera Raw forum. There seems to be a bug in either LR or Camera Raw supporting these ARW files. Camera Raw 17.4.2 claims to support them. They open in Camera Raw in Photoshop2025 . Lightroom Classic 14.4 does not recognise them. All on Mac OS 15.5.

Lightroom and Camera Raw are two things. Lightroom has a buildin Camera Raw and must be updated separately.

At the moment Lightroom doesn't support Sony's RX1R III. I think the update will be released in the next few days. Adobe doesn't published the exact release dates.

My System: Intel i7-8700K - 64GB RAM - NVidia Geforce RTX 3060 - Windows 11 Pro 25H2 -- LR-Classic 15 - Photoshop 27 - Nik Collection 8 - PureRAW 5 - Topaz Photo

Well, I learnt something today. After all these years, I had no idea that Lightroom Classic had a built-in Camera Raw that did not update when Camera Raw is updated. Thank you for the heads-up.

I got an OM Systems OM-5 Mark II, which was just released in July 2025, and I am unable to import the ORF files into Lightroom, even though ORF files should be supported. When I try to open the photos in Lightroom it says "this file does not contain a supported format." Is anyone else having this issue? I have the newest version of Lightroom (8.4).

For anyone else having this issue, I have found the answer. The OM-5 Mark II is not yet supported by Lightroom, but it will be in the future, so I just have to be patient. See list of supported cameras here: https://helpx.adobe.com/ca/camera-raw/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html#sa_src=web-messaging

@Nishamon, support for a new camera from a leading manufacturer typically comes in the LR release following the release of the camera or, less frequently, the second following release. A new version of LR comes out about every 8 weeks, so we might expect to see LR 14.5 around the week of August 11. (I have no inside information on this, and Adobe never announces such things ahead of time.)

Meanwhile, you can use the OM Workspace software to convert raws to TIFFs and import those into LR without significant loss of quality.

When will Lightroom Classic be able to accept Raw images from OM5 Mark2?

johnrellis

Genius

The OM-5 Mark II is supported by Camera Raw 17.4.1, which was recently released: https://helpx.adobe.com/camera-raw/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html

So the next release of LR will include that version of the Camera Raw engine and support the camera. LR is released about every 8 weeks, so we might expect to see LR 14.5 the week of ~~July 11~~ August 11 or so. (I have no inside information.)

ACR is opening pretty much files from every camera on the planet, including files from most phase one digital backs.

but ACR does not support the raw files. please add support

johnrellis

@mirko_7019's original subject line, which got lost in the merge with this thread:

"support for phase one achromatic+, first generation, in ACR missing "

@mirko_7019: "phase one achromatic+, first generation"

Please provide a link to a page with the official product name. Neither phaseone.com nor the Wikipedia page listing all Phase One cameras contains the string "achromatic+".

Hey, everyone!

I recently upgraded to the Sony FX3A but the RAW files dont seem to get recognized in Lightroom Classic
They are in Photoshop, though, so camera raw is up to date, but in Lightroom it doesn't seem to work

Any easy fix? (besides the obvious ARW - DNG converter)

I don't think @Sameer K 's statement that "Camera Raw supports the Sony FX3, but not the new FX3 A revision/updated variant" agrees with Adobe's list of supported cameras. https://helpx.adobe.com/camera-raw/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html

According to that list, Camera RAW does support the raws from the Sony FX3A, but at this time, Lightroom Classic does not support the RAWs from Sony FX3A

@tomásc20524392,

Building on @dj_paige's reply, upload a sample raw straight from the camera to Wetransfer, Dropbox, Google Drive or similar free service and post the sharing link here. With that, we can verify that other LR and CR installations aren't opening Sony FX3A raws and file an actionable bug report.

Hallo, aktuell habe ich ein Problem mit der ARW. Datei (RAW).

Kameramodell: Sony FX3A
Was fehlt: Unterstützung für RAW-Dateien in Lightroom/Camera Raw
Warum es wichtig ist: Aktuell kann man keine Bilder von der Kamera in Lightroom bearbeiten und somit die Aufträge nicht abschließen.

Daher die Frage: "Wann wird die -Sony FX3A- im System mit aufgenommen.

Danke

@jannik_1926, re the Sony FX 3A, see here:

why? Sony FX3A and Sony FX2 RAW files can't open on Camera raw 17.4,

not support？

johnrellis

@Joey1983: "Sony FX3A and Sony FX2 RAW files can't open on Camera raw 17.4"

Those cameras aren't supported yet by LR:

https://helpx.adobe.com/camera-raw/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html

The FX2 was announced just a couple of weeks ago:

https://www.dpreview.com/news/0918627425/sony-fx-2-cinema-hybrid-camera-announcement

and the press release says it won't start shipping until August. Support for a new camera from a leading manufacturer typically comes in the LR release following the release of the camera or, less frequently, the second following release. A new version of LR comes out about every 8 weeks, so we might expect to see LR 14.5 about two months from now. (I have no inside information on this, and Adobe never announces such things ahead of time.)

LR and Camera Raw do support the FX3 (released four years ago). However, Sony has been very quietly releasing new "A" versions of many of its cameras, in order to comply with an EU diktat requiring USB-C charging ports. These cameras apparently have new firmware that simply disables the use of their micro-USB ports for charging, in order to comply with the diktat. But since the EXIF metadata shows a different model name, LR/CR don't recognize them.

So far, Adobe has added support for some but not all of these "A" models (ZV-1A, RX100M7A, 6100A, 6400A).

Es gibt seit einigen Monaten das leicht überholte Model der "Sony DSC-RX100M7a" welches im Prinzip nur eine "Sony DSC-RX100M7" mit kleineren Verbesserungen ist.

Da der Name der Kamera in den Exifdaten durch das "a" erweitert wurde, wird diese Kamera in Camera Raw nicht erkannt.

Wenn ich mittels Exifeditor die beiden Exifparameter für den Kameranamen auf "Sony DSC-RX100M7" ändere, kann ich die Datei in Camera Raw bearbeiten.

Es müssten also die Filter für die Kamera "Sony DSC-RX100M7a" bei Camara Raw hinzu gefügt werden.

Aufwand: gering

Nutzen: Bilder der Kamera können dann in Camera Raw bearbeitet werden.

@Sameer K, according to this thread, Sony released A variants of four cameras recently: ILCE-6100A, ILCE-6400A, RX100M7A, and ZV1A.

Adobe Camera Raw Support Request

Subject: Request to Add Support for Sony DSC-RX100M7A RAW (.ARW) Files

Dear Adobe Camera Raw Team,

I am writing to report a compatibility issue with RAW files from the Sony DSC-RX100M7A (the latest version of the RX100 VII series). The Camera Raw plugin currently does not recognize `.ARW` files from this model.

According to the EXIF data, the model name in the file metadata is:

Model Name: DSC-RX100M7A

File Type: ARW 2.3 (compressed) format

These files are currently unsupported in both Adobe Camera Raw and Lightroom Classic, though RAW files from the RX100M7 (without the “A”) work correctly.

Additionally, macOS 15.4 also fails to preview or display these RAW files, likely for the same reason.

As the RX100M7A is the current model in Sony’s RX100 series, support for this camera would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for considering this request and adding support for this camera model in a future Camera Raw update.

Best regards,

astroboy104
