They are ridicolous ... they are deleting lots of post talking about new Sony RAW support ... and never give an answer to customer.

That is not correct (ridiculous), and further, the answer is clear and at the top of all other threads here. One answer is a year old!

I just bought the new Sony alpha 7 V and I realized that Lightroom classic does not allow import the ARW raw files of the camera. Any news on that? Given that the new version of LrC has just been released, I guess we need to wait...

Release dates are never published or announced in advance. However, I suspect that model will probably be supported in the next update. Updates are typically released about four times each year. I don't work for Adobe, and have no inside information.. So there is no "news" to report.

"Updates are typically released about four times each year."

Every 8 weeks on average.

I own an Alpha 7RV.

LR is not able to read the files of this camera.

When can we get the file for this camera?

Cheers!

What is your exact Lightroom Classic version? Current release is v12.0.1

and see:

Cameras supported by Camera Raw | Adobe

~~That document states that you need at least LrC v8.4.1~~

I see I was in error.

I have the version 12.0.1 running on my computer!

It's the latest one, guess!!

My system is still on track for updates.

@ John Weller

What do you mean with "Sony's own converter"?

Should I convert the files in a DNG?

Just purchased my Sony a7R V and was wondering when will you have Raw file support in Lightroom.

As of the moment it gives an error when trying to import to Lightroom. (see attached)

Hi there,

Thanks for reaching out.

Image support is unavailable because the sony a7rv was launched a month ago. We request you allow us some time to add that to the list. We will update it in our community whenever the update comes.

For a complete reference, you can check this discussion: https://community.adobe.com/t5/camera-raw-discussions/p-raw-file-support-requests-and-information-new-camera-support/m-p/13354492/page/18.

Regards,

Does anyone have a solution for this? I need to edit files that I took at at event

The Sony A7RV isn't supported at this time. Therefore, you need to use Sony's own raw convereter untl Adobe update LrC/Camera Raw to support the A7RV.

Purchased new Sony a7rv and still waiting on Adobe to update to allow editing of RAW images.... anyone any idea how long it will take developers to update the software???

Adobe have sent me the link for DNG workaround but rather not install another thing to my laptop.
Have used camera few times and frustrating not being able to edit photos 😬

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.

Hello

can anyone tell how long Adobe needs for the RAW File Support of the new Sony A7R V in Lightroom Classic?

Thanks

No. Nobody can tell you this because they either do not know, or they are not allowed to tell you because of their NDA. I understand your impatience, but you will simply have to wait.

It is a paid software but it is the only one that converts SONY A7RV a DNG today

What flavor of DNG; linear, lossless?? Not all DNG's are the same (or as 'raw').

From the website:

"Iridient S-Transformer is a cross platform, macOS and Windows, Sony ARW/ARQ to DNG conversion utility that shares much of its high quality RAW processing pipeline with Iridient Developer. Key processing stages that can be applied during the DNG conversion include RAW interpolation (demosaic), pixel shift processing, sharpening, noise reduction and automatic lens corrections. S-Transformer provides some of the high quality, early stage RAW processing algorithms from Iridient Developer in simple, easy to use utility that can be combined with existing photo workflow programs like Lightroom to quickly improve RAW image quality."

This implies that it is demosaiced so probably linear.

Dear Adobe-Team,

when can we expect the update that we can import the RAW files of the new Sony A7RV in Lightroom Classic?

Best regards,

According to dpreview.com, the A7R V will be released sometime in December.
