      Same for me : impossible to import DNG files made with DJI MAVIC4 Pro in LR (last v15.3.1) on my MBP M3 Pro RAM: 16gb, Mac OS 15.7.4… images are made in 100mp mode. Really annoying bug because my client is waiting for images.

      Please check for hardware malfunctions, as I already explained in this thread.

      Thanks for your reply but all RAW files are backed-up in my 40 to G-Tech which is no problem with all others formats of files (SONY A7RV + FUJI GFX100 S)
      Our Macs are up to date with the latest system available in the latest versions of Adobe CC.
      LR simply doesn't recognize files format and refuse to import files… I sent a Contact sheet for my client with JPEGS fiels… I think this not a serious way to do from Adobe.
      The Mavic 4 pro was released more than a year now,

      One possibility is hardware malfunction. Where are the photos located when you try to import: Camera Card, Hard disk, somewhere else?

       

      Are you using a card reader? If so try using a cable from computer to camera. If you are not using a card reader, try using a card reader (if you have one).
