For a complete overview of camera support in Photoshop and Lightroom, visit the following article:

Why doesn't my version of Photoshop or Lightroom support my camera?

  1. Make sure your version of Photoshop or Lightroom is updated for the latest camera support.
  2. If you own an older version of Photoshop or Lightroom, Adobe provides backward compatibility for the latest cameras through the FREE Adobe DNG Converter.

 

Note: ETAs for specific cameras are not available.

    Please provide RAW support for the Sony A7MV Camera that has been out before Christmas. I have two months of photos I can’t access in Lightroom Classic.

      Only Lossless Compressed Raw is supported at this time for Sony A7 V (ILCE-7M5).

      from here:

      How does this help fixing my problem? I’d like Lightroom Classic to support ARW images shot with a new camera from a well established brand, doesn’t seem to much to ask. Do you know if an there’s going to be an update any time soon fixing this?

      I don’t work for Adobe, so I can’t answer that, but I expect that they are working on it or will be soon.

      9 Weeks ago Sony launched the new A7 v.

      After al these weeks it’s still not possible to edit the compressed images. Do you know when this problem will be fixed?

      Can’t figure out how to post my question there. Also, it’s not called RAW but ARW., but maybe it’s the same file type under a different name

      Please provide a clarification regarding Sony A7V RAW files. We expect full support for all RAW options. We want to edit uncompressed RAW files and work with a non-beta profile. We have been waiting for proper support for a very long time. When editing RAW files in the profile that is marked as beta, both presets and manual color adjustments perform very poorly. Many users are experiencing these same issues.

      ChatGpt said : If this .ARW file is from a new Sony camera, your Lightroom version may be old and doesn’t support that camera’s RAW format yet.

        Hi —

        I wanted to check in on the status of Sony A7V RAW support in Lightroom. Do we have any updated timeline on when this will be available? I have clients currently waiting on deliveries, and it’s been challenging to communicate next steps without a clear target date.

        These are wedding galleries that need to be delivered this month, so any update you can share — even an estimated timeframe — would be greatly appreciated.

          Hey, there is still no full RAW support for the Sony A7V. I have clients waiting. Is there a timeline, when there is full support for its raw files? Converting all photos is not an option and not working as it is supposed to.

           

          Really appreciate your help.
