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

The Sony RX100 M7A camera's raw images are incompatible with Lightroom Classic and the Lightroom app.
I upgraded my Sony RX100 VI to the VII for a work trip, and I can't export the photos to Lightroom for editing.
Will it be available soon?

thanks

Meanwhile, you can use Sony's Imaging Edge program to export the raws as TIFFs that can be imported into LR without any significant change in quality.

I recently purchased a Sony RX100M7A (the A is the important thing) camera which was released 2023

unfortunately none of the adobe products work when I try to import my photos in raw format. The Sony Model RX100M7 is supported - and works well 

But the RX100M7A format is not recognized. Is there a way to fix this? would it be possible to include this camera model in the near future?

thank you for your quick response

I was able to import RX100M7A fotos in adobe products by modifying the exif information with exiftool:

exiftool -sonymodelid=DSC-RX100M7 -overwrite_original *.arw
exiftool -Exif:Model=DSC-RX100M7 -overwrite_original *.arw

 

those two commands did the trick for me

 

best regards

I desperately need a Camera Raw File update for the Sony RX100M7A. 
Sony RX100 VII is already supported but the new version VIIa is not yet which is a total bummer.

I have the same camera and have just downloaded the latest version of camera raw 17.4.1.2280 and it is now able to convert the ARW files.

I hope this is of help to you.

Right, Adobe added support for the Sony RX100M7A to ACR 17.3.1, Lightrrom 8.3.1, and Lightroom Classic 14.3.1:

I just bought a Sony RX100M7 and my Photoshop (latest ACR) cannot open the raw (ARW) files. From what I read other users have the same problem too and then I realised that my camera is the latest version called RX100M7A (instead of plain M7 which is supported up to now) and there is still no support for this one. Hopefully Adobe will realise that this is a new version (I think Sony hasn't given enough info) and take care soon enough, so by the next update we'll be able to open the files in ACR.

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! ❤️

@georg_3628: "newly bought Sony RX100vii "

 

You've bought the RX100M7A, a new model that Sony silently introduced recently.  You'll have to wait for a new release of LR. Support for a new model from a major manufacturer is usually released in the Lightroom / Camera Raw version following the release date of the camera, sometimes the release after that. LR is released every eight weeks, so we might expect to see LR 14.3 about the first week of April.

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.
