Answering that we do not tell when you will be able to use your new $2500 camera to paying customers is not an ok answer.

The answer however is correct: Those who know can't talk. Those who talk don't know.

You got software to access the proprietary raws from Sony. Had Sony provided raws to others like Adobe, they too could process them on day one; Sony didn't. You can use your raws today. You can use your JPEGs today. You will have to wait for Adobe support. Because again, Adobe got access to the proprietary raws when you did and they don't and cannot understand then and update their software over night. This isn't anything new! Its been this way for decades every time a proprietary raw file is released. Those waiting a few weeks/months before buying a new camera will likely be unaware that this is how its worked for decades. But it has. Such is life on the 'bleeding edge'.

These are facts, I'm very sorry you don't think the factual answers are OK.

So you say the manufacture of the worlds biggest photo editing software suite cannot pressure Sony about this?

How come Phase One just released support for the camera? Adobe has so much more resources.

Sony A7iv is one of the most anticipated cameras in years and here I sit with a very expensive brick I cannot use the pictures from.

I just bought a Sony A7iv, maybe the most anticipated camera in many years.

Trying to import the raw pictures into Lightroom I am met by "file not supported".

When will I be able to use my camera?

In reality, no one can answer that question. We are either under NDA and can't specify or, some will just guess.

Adobe is working on this, that much I can say.

Anybody got an idea when there will be support for the Sony A7iv? I've got the camera for more than a week now, and I can't edit photo's.

Adobe will likely follow their regular procedure, no announcement, release new Camera model support with regular Lightroom/ Adobe Camera Raw updates. Updates have been every two and half to three months in recent times.

Surely the Camera manufacturer provided you with software, for the camera they sold you, to enable you process the raw files that the camera produces.

Thank you.

Hi, apparently you have to wait (until when? who knows...)... I hope you are happy like me to have purchased your gear at first...
