For a complete overview of camera support in Photoshop and Lightroom, visit the following article:

Why doesn't my version of Photoshop or Lightroom support my camera?

  1. Make sure your version of Photoshop or Lightroom is updated for the latest camera support.
  2. If you own an older version of Photoshop or Lightroom, Adobe provides backward compatibility for the latest cameras through the FREE Adobe DNG Converter.

 

Note: ETAs for specific cameras are not available

Support for a new camera from a leading manufacturer typically comes in the LR release following the release of the camera or, less frequently, the second following release.  A new version of LR comes out about every 8 weeks, so we might expect to see LR 12.1 mid-December. (I have no inside information on this, and Adobe never announces such things ahead of time.)

Hy,

I'm using the new Sony A7R5, and I can't transfer my RAW images. Is there something to do, or do I just have to wait? Thanks

You can render (process) the raw in Sony's proprietary software and save out as a TIFF then use PS. 

You can wait until support for that new camera arrives in ACR/LR.

Does anybody know when Lightroom will support RAW files from Sony A7R V (ILCE-7RM5)?

This has come up before but by way of docussion and has gone nowhere.  I'm putting it up as a bug report.  It is surely an oversight bug if Adobe hasn't provided support for an image file produced by a major camera brands.
Some OM System cameras have a sensor shift high resolution (HR) feature.  When used, the camera outputs three files:

  1.   A processed JPG
  2.   A raw ORF HR file, nominally 50MP or 80MP
  3.   A raw ORI file which is a standard raw nomoinally 20MP.  This is intended to be used singly or to provide correction to the HR file.

 

As it stands, there is no support for ORI files.  That is to say, the camera outputs three image files, JPG, ORF and ORI yet LrC does not see the ORI.  Even Winows Photos opens ORIs.  It is surely an oversight that LrC doesn't see an image file produced by a major camera manufacturer.  One line of code could fix this.

Regard,

Bob

You need to make this a feature request, not a bug report IF Adobe hasn't stated it supports the camera, the data came from here:

What specific camera? 

And what is the one line of code?

Until the actual support is released, anyone who actually knows can't say.

You will need to be patient and wait until Adobe release an update that supports your new camera.

In the meantime- Shoot with RAW+JPGs, or use any free software that Sony may provide to suit the Sony raw files.

The Sony A7R Mark V is not yet supported by Lightroom Classic. Is support planned, when can we expect it?

I think the support of the new Sony camera is planned and comes with one of the next updates.

But Adobe gives us never informations about release dates.

 

So right now your choice would be work with the Sony software to convert your RAW files into DNG.

This DNG files you can import in LR.

My System: Intel i7-8700K - 64GB RAM - NVidia Geforce RTX 3060 - Windows 11 Pro 25H2 -- LR-Classic 15 - Photoshop 27 - Nik Collection 8 - PureRAW 5 - Topaz Photo

IF your camera is so new, it isn't listed here; nothing you can do for the time being. 
Every time Canon (or Nikon, or Sony, etc) release a new camera, they do this stupid trick of making yet a new proprietary raw file that everyone outside the company, including Adobe, needs access to so they can 'hack' the tiny differences to support that new proprietary raw. You, the customer, get to wait and are forced to use the manufacturer's raw converter until this all takes place. It is silly, but that's how it has been for decades. Some companies are faster to do this than others, but the facts are every 3rd party raw converter manufacturer has to go through this silly dance. Complain about this to your camera company.
