I just bought my brand new Nikon D7500, and I haven't been able to transfer the raw files into lightroom. I am on Lightroom CC 2015.10.1 and Camera RAW 9.10.1. Does anyone know how to fix this/get RAW support for the D7500?

Thanks in advance

I have lightroom classic It is supposed to suppost my 7500, but the  exported images always have a reddish hazy cast.  I  find the same with Photshop.

I have the same problem with my Sony RX10 MK 3. Cannot import raw files to Lightroom 6.

As of today, the RAW from the Sony RX10 Mk3 cannot be read by any Adobe software. You need to use the software that came with the camera to convert the RAW to TIF and then import the TIF into Lightroom.

I have been using Nikon Capture NX-D in the meantime.

One (probably unapproved) way to load the files in Lightroom is to use exiftool to change the file data to a supported camera. After you have downloaded and installed exiftool run a command like:

exiftool -model="NIKON D500" *.NEF

You should then be able to import the files to Lightroom. You should work on copies of your original files in case you mess things up and be aware that unexpected results might occur in Lightroom, but at least it should get you started.

Thank you! The exiftool and your command line works for me. Note that the exiftool.exe file need to be in the same folder as the NEF files.

Cameras supported by Camera Raw

You'll have to join the queue of D7500 owners waiting for Raw support. Adobe has not updated Lightroom or Camera Raw support for that camera yet. Probably in the next update.
