When will Lightroom Classic be able to accept Raw images from OM5 Mark2?

The OM-5 Mark II is supported by Camera Raw 17.4.1, which was recently released: https://helpx.adobe.com/camera-raw/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html

So the next release of LR will include that version of the Camera Raw engine and support the camera. LR is released about every 8 weeks, so we might expect to see LR 14.5 the week of ~~July 11~~ August 11 or so. (I have no inside information.)

ACR is opening pretty much files from every camera on the planet, including files from most phase one digital backs.

Please provide a link to a page with the official product name. Neither phaseone.com nor the Wikipedia page listing all Phase One cameras contains the string "achromatic+".

Hey, everyone!

I recently upgraded to the Sony FX3A but the RAW files dont seem to get recognized in Lightroom Classic
They are in Photoshop, though, so camera raw is up to date, but in Lightroom it doesn't seem to work

Any easy fix? (besides the obvious ARW - DNG converter)

dj_paige

I don't think @Sameer K 's statement that "Camera Raw supports the Sony FX3, but not the new FX3 A revision/updated variant" agrees with Adobe's list of supported cameras. https://helpx.adobe.com/camera-raw/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html

According to that list, Camera RAW does support the raws from the Sony FX3A, but at this time, Lightroom Classic does not support the RAWs from Sony FX3A

@tomásc20524392,

Building on @dj_paige's reply, upload a sample raw straight from the camera to Wetransfer, Dropbox, Google Drive or similar free service and post the sharing link here. With that, we can verify that other LR and CR installations aren't opening Sony FX3A raws and file an actionable bug report.

Hallo, aktuell habe ich ein Problem mit der ARW. Datei (RAW).

Kameramodell: Sony FX3A
Was fehlt: Unterstützung für RAW-Dateien in Lightroom/Camera Raw
Warum es wichtig ist: Aktuell kann man keine Bilder von der Kamera in Lightroom bearbeiten und somit die Aufträge nicht abschließen.

Daher die Frage: "Wann wird die -Sony FX3A- im System mit aufgenommen.

Danke

why? Sony FX3A and Sony FX2 RAW files can't open on Camera raw 17.4,

not support？

@Joey1983: "Sony FX3A and Sony FX2 RAW files can't open on Camera raw 17.4"

Those cameras aren't supported yet by LR:

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

The FX2 was announced just a couple of weeks ago:

https://www.dpreview.com/news/0918627425/sony-fx-2-cinema-hybrid-camera-announcement

and the press release says it won't start shipping until August. 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 14.5 about two months from now. (I have no inside information on this, and Adobe never announces such things ahead of time.)

LR and Camera Raw do support the FX3 (released four years ago). However, Sony has been very quietly releasing new "A" versions of many of its cameras, in order to comply with an EU diktat requiring USB-C charging ports. These cameras apparently have new firmware that simply disables the use of their micro-USB ports for charging, in order to comply with the diktat. But since the EXIF metadata shows a different model name, LR/CR don't recognize them.

So far, Adobe has added support for some but not all of these "A" models (ZV-1A, RX100M7A, 6100A, 6400A).

Es gibt seit einigen Monaten das leicht überholte Model der "Sony DSC-RX100M7a" welches im Prinzip nur eine "Sony DSC-RX100M7" mit kleineren Verbesserungen ist.

Da der Name der Kamera in den Exifdaten durch das "a" erweitert wurde, wird diese Kamera in Camera Raw nicht erkannt.

Wenn ich mittels Exifeditor die beiden Exifparameter für den Kameranamen auf "Sony DSC-RX100M7" ändere, kann ich die Datei in Camera Raw bearbeiten.

Es müssten also die Filter für die Kamera "Sony DSC-RX100M7a" bei Camara Raw hinzu gefügt werden.

Aufwand: gering

Nutzen: Bilder der Kamera können dann in Camera Raw bearbeitet werden.

Adobe Camera Raw Support Request

Subject: Request to Add Support for Sony DSC-RX100M7A RAW (.ARW) Files

Dear Adobe Camera Raw Team,

I am writing to report a compatibility issue with RAW files from the Sony DSC-RX100M7A (the latest version of the RX100 VII series). The Camera Raw plugin currently does not recognize `.ARW` files from this model.

According to the EXIF data, the model name in the file metadata is:

Model Name: DSC-RX100M7A

File Type: ARW 2.3 (compressed) format

These files are currently unsupported in both Adobe Camera Raw and Lightroom Classic, though RAW files from the RX100M7 (without the “A”) work correctly.

Additionally, macOS 15.4 also fails to preview or display these RAW files, likely for the same reason.

As the RX100M7A is the current model in Sony’s RX100 series, support for this camera would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for considering this request and adding support for this camera model in a future Camera Raw update.

Best regards,

astroboy104

Hello, I’m using the Sony RX100M7A camera (a variant of the RX100 VII, released in 2023), and I'm unable to open its RAW (.ARW) files in Adobe Lightroom (Cloud version 8.2) or Adobe Camera Raw, despite having the latest available versions of all Adobe software through Creative Cloud (Windows 64-bit). I also tried converting the files using Adobe DNG Converter, but I receive the message that the file format is not supported. This issue makes it impossible for me to edit my RAW files using Adobe tools. The RX100M7A is an officially released product, and I was surprised to find it not supported even after almost two years on the market. I’m attaching (or willing to provide) a sample RAW file from this camera to assist in the review process. Could you please let me know if support for this model is planned, and if so, when it might become available? My e-mail is Thank you for your attention and support.

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 14.3 next week or so. (I have no inside information on this, and Adobe never announces such things ahead of time.)

Meanwhile, you can use Sony's Imaging Edge software to convert raws to TIFFs and import those into LR without significant loss of quality.

"I was surprised to find it not supported even after almost two years on the market"

The RX100M7A has only been shipping the last 6 weeks or so, and there was no official announcement about it from Sony. It appears that Sony released several "A" variants at the same time, disabling the in-camera battery charging via the micro USB port to avoid running afoul of new EU regulations requiring USB-C charging:

Hi Sameer

I've also uploaded some of my Sony RX 100 VIIA raws in Dropbox here:

Thanks for the sample images, these are more than enough. The team has started work on this.

Thanks!

Hi guys, when do you plan on adding support for RAW files from Nikon Z5 II camera? Thank you, Vaclav

Maybe the next update, which is soon if normal release cadence if followed. However, Adobe does not share this information with us in advance. So, no guarantee.
