P: New Camera Raw File Support - Requests & Information

The Sony A7V was released in December 2, 2025 and Adobe still doesn't support RAW files in Lightroom!

I know you guys work hard, but come on, 3 months after release, still no full support of the A7V. It’s not like we don’t pay every month. This new Lightroom release is really a bummer. I do not know who’s to blame the most, Adobe or Sony here, but both of you are getting a bad rep. Are we going to have to wait for another 3 months? I love Lightroom, I’ve used it for 10 years now, but I sure am not going to wait for 3 months.

Edited today 45 photos - 3h later and to be honest I don’t want to deliver this to my client. 
but they have a deadline next week. So I am stressed out… 

SONY A7V UPDATE- has this been updated in LRC

I understand that Adobe hasn’t caught up but how do you have a codec for raw built with the only option to upscale to TiFF?? 
 

I have an angry client and 3600 pictures that are absolutely unusable at this time. These programs all work together so start sharing your software updates sooner. 

I’m so sorry about this! I’m experiencing the same issue 😭 The photos look terrible when converted to TIFF, and editing them is almost impossible. What’s happening? We invested in new, expensive cameras and still can’t get the quality we expected!

I can’t even open the files.. 

Hi,

I’m experiencing the exact same problem. I’ve already deleted and reinstalled everything from Adobe and tried different computers. At first, I thought the issue was on my end, but then I discovered that a colleague was able to open the images in Sony’s software. However, he also can’t convert them to DNG only to JPEG. The problem is that if I convert them to JPEG, I can no longer properly edit my images.

As a photographer, this is a nightmare. I really hope a solution comes soon because with the latest updates of Lightroom, Photoshop, and Camera Raw, I simply can’t do anything at all.

I hope support can fix this quickly, my clients are waiting for their photos.

The A7V is supported (with limitations) in Lightroom Version 9.1  and Camera Raw 18.1.1

Are you up to date with Lr version?

As users we do not know of camera support releases until they happen.

Hi, I’m using the Sony A7V, and Lightroom does not recognize the RAW files yet. I’ve already completed three photoshoots, and I’m unable to open the files in Lightroom, which is very frustrating.

At the moment, I have to convert the files to TIFF, but the image quality and workflow are significantly affected.

Could you please let me know when support for the Sony A7V will be added to Camera Raw / Lightroom? This is very important for my work.

Is support planned for the next update?
