ARW file conversion and LR CC [Unable to open Sony A7 III Raw files in LR CC 2015.5]

randifern  wrote Hi, I just bought the Sony A7iii.  My LR CC 2015.5 release will not recognize the ARW files.  Based on what I'm reading I'm not sure if I need to download a DNG converter, upgrade my version of CC, or switch to Classic. Please help!

Why do you still use the old CC2015.5 version? You pay for updates through your subscription, so I would apply those updates if I were you... Lightroom CC2015.5 is basically Lightroom 6.5 (with a subscription). We're at Lightroom 8.0 now, and that is free if you do indeed have a subscription.

Here you'll find a list which version of Lightroom, CameraRaw etc. you need to supports the appropriate camera.

Cameras supported by Camera Raw

In your case you need Lightroom version 7.3 or higher. So I fully agree with 99jon. Install the upgrade to the latest version of Lightroom Classic CC (version 8).
