P: New Camera Raw File Support - Requests & Information

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

Hello!

I have a problem with the files from my newly bought Sony RX100vii in Lightroom Classic (Version 14.2) and DNG Converter.
I shot only in RAW, and am now trying to bring them into Lightroom Classic (Version 14.2). The images cannot be shown in the preview, and when trying to import them, i get the message that "These files cannot be opened by Lightroom". I tried converting them with the Adobe DNG Converter, but I get a similar result as after the conversion process i get the message that "The RAW-format of the file cannot be supported".

I just bought the RX100vii, have done no software updates whatsoever. So I am wondering if that has something to do with it.
I am thankful for any help, as I just want to start editing the photos from my new camera! Thank you in advance! ❤️

Please verify your LrC version, just in case you have more than one copy on your computer.

A screenshot or a copy/paste of the first 6 or so lines from /help/system info/ (in LrC) should work for that.

I recently both a Sony Cybershot DSC-RX100 mark VII, now I want to import the AWR files in lightroom but it is unable to import this format. 

First it mentions: preview unavailable for this file

and when importing it mentions: some import operations were not performed. 

 

I have checked if there is an update for lightroom

But lightroom still no succes

Bonjour, visiblement  je ne suis pas le seul à avoir fait l'acquisition du Sony DSC-RX100M7A, et comme tout le monde je ne peux pas traiter mes fichiers ARW. Merci de prendre en compte le problème pour effectuer une mise à jour.

Hello

 

I've just bought a Sony DSC-RX100M7A to replace my Sony DSC-RX100M7 that I recently misplaced. I've tried to open the .ARW files but a message comes up saying it is not supported. I'm using the latest version of Camera Raw.
Is it yet known when this model will be supported?

 

Thanks

Nobody is able to answer the proverbial "when" questions I'm afraid. Nobody knows!

Ok, thanks for the reply. I suppose we'll just have to wait a bit longer.

Bonjour, je viens d'acheter un tout nouveau Sony DSC-RX100M7, et c'est une nouvelle version du boîtier qui s'appelle Sony DSC-RX100M7A. Il semble que cette toute nouvelle version ne soit pas encore supportée par les versions actuelles de Lighroom/Camera RAW/Photoshop. Il semble aussi que Sony n'ait pas beaucoup communiqué sur le sujet. Pouvez-vous me dire si ce fait est connu et s'il est prévu d'intégrer cet appareil dans la liste des appareils reconnus par ces logiciels, svp? Et si oui, dans quel délai, même approximatif, peut on imaginer que ce soit résolu? Merci pour votre réponse.

I can't figure out how to post a question, but I have a new Nikon Z50ii and wonder if Elem,ents 2025 will convert its RAW files?

@stephenp69774191: "Was delivered 21/1//2024 and I am unable to load the RAW files into LrC as the RAW format is not supported for this camera."

 

I'm able to import pre-production samples from dpreview.com into my LR Classic 14.0.1. Can you import these samples?

 

The entry in Cameras Supported By Camera Raw is garbled and thus untrustworthy: 

 

 

1. It reverses two column entries for Minimum Lightroom Version Required (13.0) and Minimum Lightroom Classic Version Required (8.0).  

 

2. The Nikon Z 50 II was announced on November 7, 2024, and thus couldn't possibly have been included in LR Classic 13.0 (LR 14.0 was released 10/14/24).

 

Full support for cameras from leading manufacturers usually arrives in the release following the cameras' availability, sometimes the next release after that.  Lightroom releases about every 8 weeks, so we might expect the next release (with full support for the Nikon Z 50 II) mid-December.  But Adobe rarely comments on feature and release timing.

Here is the link to Wetransfer  https://we.tl/t-TBimiTUjiv for the nef file

My LR 14.0.1 can't import that file either:

 

Exiftool shows the pre-production samples using raw Lossless compression, while your .nef is using raw High Efficiency* compression.   Try setting the camera's raw-recording compression to Lossless:

iPhone 16 was released 2 weeks ago with plenty of fore-warning. Why is there no update to the camera RAW files?

With Adobe Max on the horizon, you can be sure there will be an update soon.

Great, but it would be more useful now rather than waiting for some PR talkfest. If it's ready to go, why don't they just release it?
