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.

@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
