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

No one here knows. We don't know. Adobe never tells us when.

 

When Adobe gets all the work completed to successfully use raw photos from this camera, they will release a new version of the software. Then we will all find out at the same time.

Until Adobe release supported versions of Lightroom-Classic and ACR, you will need to edit with Canon's DPP App (Digital Photo Professional), and export to TIF or JPG.  DPP lists the R5c as supported.

No. Nobody can tell you this because they either do not know, or they are not allowed to tell you because of their NDA. I understand your impatience, but you will simply have to wait.

No one can say (except for some Adobe employees, who are not allowed to say). You should check the list here each time Adobe updates the Lighroom Classic software.

As you can see, the problem is getting bigger every day. Maybe someone from Adobe (@Rick Flohr) will write one sentence when there can be support for Sony A7IV?

I, by the way, also wrote a message to support Sony that they would also work on this topic.

Greetings, Marek

I do think though, there is a pretty good chance we update will come in december. I just checked the prior releases which brought support of the a7ii, a7iii and a7r iii and all came within two months of announced of the camera or one month after the camera hitting the stores,

I picked up my Sony A7iv yesterday, and I was wondering if there is anyone from the Adobe tech support team here that could let me know when we can expect a LR/Camera RAW update to support the Sony ILCE-7M4??

 

Many Thanks

That won't be happening. Adobe only ever add new camera support to the latest versions of Lightroom and Camera Raw.

 

Users running earlier versions must either upgrade or stay with their existing versions and use the free DNG converter.

That's right. New camera support gets added to Camera Raw, Lightroom and the DNG converter at roughly the same time. When Adobe is ready. Until then, we all wait.

 

Adobe works on adding support for new cameras all the time and releases periodic updates, often including several cameras from various manufacturers at a time. The A7 IV seems to be a popular request and will be supported shortly. This often happens when a camera is popular. Canon, Nikon and other brands have all been through the same cycle over the years.

 

In the meantime, you'll have to use the Sony software to save Raw images from the A7 IV as TIFFs for importing into Photoshop and Lightroom.

Everything will get updated about the same time and no one here can tell you when.

...and just as predicted based on past releases, LR 11.1 was released 7 weeks (48 days) after LR 11.0.  And also as predicted, the Sony a7 IV, announced 5 days before LR 11.0 was released, came out in the following LR release.

As others have mentioned, it could be months until the next release. If this is the case, then I would have to request a refund from Adobe for the months I am unable to edit A7iv ARW images. 

I appreciate that Adobe require the camera etc, however YouTube reviewers have had the camera for months, so surely Adobe could have requested a model before general release?

"surely Adobe could have requested a model before general release"

Camera Manufacturers reserve the right to change specifications up until the time of shipment.  Working from a prerelease version of a camera creates the potential of having to do the work multiple times - or worse - releasing support on a not-yet-finished spec and having a substandard experience. 

Adobe publishes supported camera lists that are up to date. It is always wise to check the support and compatibility of your existing hardware and software with any new purchase. Research ensures you are not caught unawares. 

The team is working on support for an upcoming release.

Hey Rikk,

 

Thanks for replying, the right to change specifications makes a lot of sense so that explains that. Good to hear they are working on it!

I don't find it very serious from both company TBH...

Lots of desapointments from clients who are unable to use their gear, especially from a company which make you pay monthly apparently to make sure you get frequent and fast updates.

Sony is a leader in camera manufacturing, Adobe is a leader in photo softwear, can't they plan together their release and show why they are on this position?

Should be a lesson from both, it really dropped the hype.
