Sony ZV-1 raw files will not open in Photoshop or Camera Raw.

Many have recently purchased this new RX100 like camera and surprisingly, the .arw files will not open and the dng converter will not recognise them either.
ACR not only needs to revert back to the much more user friendly interface but Adobe need to provide na update to include the raw file format of the ZV-1.

Adobe just released the Beta 12.4 Dng Converter, which should be able to convert the Sony ZV-1.arw files to dng copies and open in acr.

I'm happy that this works!  I'm still using CS6 and it works great with the ZV-1 and Camera RAW, PS, & other software.  Glad to be able to edit the ARW in my usual workflow.  Thanks!

You can't do that yet so your happiness is premature.
You have to download DNG converter and go through an additional step to convert them which doubles the number of files you are storing.

The only fix for the iPad is to wait for the next update of the mobile app. In the meantime, set your camera to shoot a combination of JPEG and raw.

But the lens of the ZV-1 is well known from RX100M5 ?! My ZV1 is now more than 1 month old and I cannot use it. How long will it still take to have this cam supported?
