Camera RAW support by Adobe for Canon SL2 Camera

Question

I am using Lightroom 5.7 on Windows 7 Business Edition, Camera RAW 8.7. I can not import RAW images taken with a new Canon SL2.

Searching under General Topics>Does Camera RAW Support My Camera, I find that the SL2 is not on the December 2017 list of supported cameras. Adobe supposedly adds support within 90 days of a cameras release. The Canon website has reviews dating 5 months ago (approx. 150 days) for the SL2.

How or where do I get a software patch that will read my RAW images?

What Just Shoot Me said. Upgrade to CC or use the free DNG converter.

Digital Negative (DNG), Adobe DNG Converter | Adobe Photoshop CC

The SL2 was first supported in Lightroom 6.12 back in July 2017

SL2 support (listed in the link below under EOS 200D) is only available in version 6.12 (and later), Lightroom CC and CC Classic. Version 5 will never support that camera since Adobe never retrospectively adds new camera support to superseded versions of its software.

you will need to use the most recent release of the Free Adobe DNG converter program to convert the RAW files from that camera to DNG files. They will then import into your version of LR.

Or you can subscribe to the Photographer subscription plan and get the most current version of LR and PS for $9.99 US a month.
