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

The Sony FX30 isn't currently supported by LR / ACR:

https://helpx.adobe.com/camera-raw/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html

 

It was announced in September and released in late October. LR 12.0 was released on October 18.

 

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.)

 

Meanwhile, you can use Sony's software to convert raws to TIFFs and import those into LR.

When will RAW files from the A7R5 be recognised by LR and other adobe programs like the DNG converter?

Those who know would be under NDA and therefore not permitted to say.

Bonjour,

Il m'est impossible de lire les Fichiers RAW  (*.*ARW) du nouvel appareil photo Sony alpha 7R V.

Savais vous si une nouvelle mise à jour de lightroom prendra en charges ces fichiers ?

I see, I thought they would at least communicate somewhere the date it will support...

Yesterday I bought a Sony AR7 V camera. Today I used it for the first time. I used the sd card I previously used in my older Sony camera. 

Unfortunately, when I transfer the raw files onto my computer Bridge doesn't recognize them and I don't get any previews. I also cannot open them in Camera Raw. All I see is a blank oblong with Ps in it (the photoshop icon). When I try to transfer the files into Bridge using a cable I get the message "no valid file".

All my adobe programme's are up-to-date. 

Can anyone tell me how to fix this?

Any idea when an update will come for the Sony A7RV to import RAW files? Paying for Lightroom at the moment and can't use it because the camera is new is frustrating.

Your Camera model was announced Oct 26, 2022. The latest update to LrC was released Oct 18, 2022 so it's no surprise that it does not provide support for your Camera model.

Normal time frame for release of updates for new Camera models is 2 to 3 months so you will just need to wait a least a few more weeks. Adobe does not provide timeline for specific camera models.

 

Regards, Denis: iMac 27” mid-2015, macOS 11.7.10 Big Sur; 2TB SSD, 24 GB Ram, GPU 2 GB; LrC 12.5,; Lr 6.5, PS 24.7,; ACR 15.5,; (also Laptop Win 11, ver 24H2, LrC 15.0.1, PS 27.0; ) Camera Oly OM-D E-M1.

I think it's pathetic that Adobe is not on this. Other software already supports the A7R V, what's the delay Adobe? Your software is unusable right now. Get on it!

They did the same with the a7iv last year. Adobe does not learn from its mistakes. Shame

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.
