P: New Camera Raw File Support - Requests & Information

[Rikk Flohr: Photography]

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.

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.

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

not support？

[johnrellis]

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

Those cameras aren't supported yet by LR:

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).

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

Grüße

@jannik_1926, re the Sony FX 3A, see here:

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

[johnrellis]

@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.

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

but ACR does not support the raw files. please add support

[johnrellis]

@mirko_7019's original subject line, which got lost in the merge with this thread:

"support for phase one achromatic+, first generation, in ACR missing "

[johnrellis]

@mirko_7019: "phase one achromatic+, first generation"

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+".

[mirko_7019]

https://www.bearimages.com/Bear_Images_Photographic,_Inc./Achromatic+.html

if i am not mistaken, this version of the P45+ was made for, and distributed ony through, bear images.

[johnrellis]

"if i am not mistaken, this version of the P45+ was made for, and distributed ony through, bear images."

https://www.bearimages.com/Bear_Images_Photographic,_Inc./Achromatic+.html

The Phase One P45+ has been supported since LR 1.2. But since the Achromatic+ is such an old camera, I think it's very unlikely Adobe might go back to add support at this point. However, depending on how the P45+ was modified to produce the Achromatic Plus, it's possible that the free Exiftool utility could be used to change the camera model in the EXIF metadata to be P45+ and get acceptable results.  But we'd need both P45+ and an Achromatic+ raw files to do the experiment.

There is a rumour that CameraRaw 17.4.1.2280 does the job.

Elas, where to download that gost version?

@Andor27675945hh8t: "CameraRaw 17.4.1.2280 does the job. Elas, where to download that ghost version?"

The Creative Cloud dektop app will install CR 17.4.1:

[johnrellis]

Note that the Phase One P45+ is listed as a supported by CR 17.4.1 but the Achromatic+ is not:

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

[johnrellis]

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.)

[Nishamon]

I got an OM Systems OM-5 Mark II, which was just released in July 2025, and I am unable to import the ORF files into Lightroom, even though ORF files should be supported. When I try to open the photos in Lightroom it says "this file does not contain a supported format." Is anyone else having this issue? I have the newest version of Lightroom (8.4).

[Nishamon]

For anyone else having this issue, I have found the answer. The OM-5 Mark II is not yet supported by Lightroom, but it will be in the future, so I just have to be patient. See list of supported cameras here: https://helpx.adobe.com/ca/camera-raw/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html#sa_src=web-messaging 

[johnrellis]

@Nishamon, 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 around the week of August 11. (I have no inside information on this, and Adobe never announces such things ahead of time.)

Meanwhile, you can use the OM Workspace software to convert raws to TIFFs and import those into LR without significant loss of quality.

[EdwinConstable]

I have cross posted this to the Camera Raw forum. There seems to be a bug in either LR or Camera Raw supporting these ARW files. Camera Raw 17.4.2 claims to support them. They open in Camera Raw in Photoshop2025 . Lightroom Classic 14.4 does not recognise them. All on Mac OS 15.5.

Lightroom and Camera Raw are two things. Lightroom has a buildin Camera Raw and must be updated separately.

At the moment Lightroom doesn't support Sony's RX1R III. I think the update will be released in the next few days. Adobe doesn't published the exact release dates.

[EdwinConstable]

Well, I learnt something today. After all these years, I had no idea that Lightroom Classic had a built-in Camera Raw that did not update when Camera Raw is updated. Thank you for the heads-up.

It has been nearly two m onths since the release of this new camera but there is still no support for it's RAW files (.orf) in LR Classic. I find that somewaht extraordinary - please release an update ti include this latest OM file format Adobe. I know I can use Bridge, but that is a truly clumsy system and I can't wait to use my normal workflow with this camera. Frustrating!
