    What is your version of Lightroom? This camera requires at least 2015.1.

    If you have trouble updating using the CC desktop app or Help > Updates, you can update from here: (the latest version is 2015.8)

    Install Photoshop Lightroom

    If that isn't the problem, please describe in detail what happens when you try to import, and quote any error messages in full.

    Could you specify what version of Lightroom CC you are using.  Your camera model is supported by Adobe Camera Raw 9.1  and Lightroom CC 2015.1

    The Latest version for Lightroom is LR CC 2015.8 and can/should update to that version.
