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.

    My bad, sorry. I’m not a Sony user (not an Adobe employee) so not aware of the ‘compressed file’ problem, and the Supported Camera link does not specify that file compression might be limited to HQ compression.

    @Rob_Cullen all good only Lossless compression is currently supported by Lightroom but they’ve historically never had issues with RAW compressed on any other Sony ecosystem (coming from A7R3 & A7S3) this is the first ecosystem Adobe is taking forever to accommodate users

    What software are you using?

    The A7V is supported in v9.1 of Lightroom-Desktop, v15.1 of Lightroom-Classic, and v18.1.1 Adobe Camera Raw.

    Please update your software to support Sony A7V I am embarrassed to use an editing software tool that isn’t updated almost a month later from when a new camera releases. Adobe is supposed to be the leader in photo editing software and there are other smaller companies that are better than you right now

      The Sony A7V was released in December 2, 2025 and Adobe still doesn't support RAW files in Lightroom!

      I know you guys work hard, but come on, 3 months after release, still no full support of the A7V. It’s not like we don’t pay every month. This new Lightroom release is really a bummer. I do not know who’s to blame the most, Adobe or Sony here, but both of you are getting a bad rep. Are we going to have to wait for another 3 months? I love Lightroom, I’ve used it for 10 years now, but I sure am not going to wait for 3 months.

        They’ve only added support for the Lossless Compressed RAW format so far. The other RAW formats (Uncompressed and Compressed) are still not supported in LRC.

        I’m so sorry about this! I’m experiencing the same issue 😭 The photos look terrible when converted to TIFF, and editing them is almost impossible. What’s happening? We invested in new, expensive cameras and still can’t get the quality we expected!

          Hi,

          I’m experiencing the exact same problem. I’ve already deleted and reinstalled everything from Adobe and tried different computers. At first, I thought the issue was on my end, but then I discovered that a colleague was able to open the images in Sony’s software. However, he also can’t convert them to DNG only to JPEG. The problem is that if I convert them to JPEG, I can no longer properly edit my images.

          As a photographer, this is a nightmare. I really hope a solution comes soon because with the latest updates of Lightroom, Photoshop, and Camera Raw, I simply can’t do anything at all.

           

          I hope support can fix this quickly, my clients are waiting for their photos.

            The A7V is supported (with limitations) in Lightroom Version 9.1  and Camera Raw 18.1.1

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

            Are you up to date with Lr version?

             

            As users we do not know of camera support releases until they happen.
