Adobe get with the program.  I tried importing *.HIF files today from my EOS R5 and Lightroom Classic doesn't even show them in the import window.  They can't be imported.  I can import iPhone *.HEIF files but not from the EOS R5.  Adobe's lack of support for import and export of *.HEIF files is pathetic

Do anyone know if import of .hif (HEIF) files into Lighroom and Lightroom Classic from Canon R5/R6 cameras is supported or not supported (yet)? I cant't get it working in Lightroom from my Canon R6.

This is still an issue with .HIF files from the R5. Cannot import into Lightroom.

[This feature request was incorrectly marked as Implemented. Adobe has clarified that LR supports only HEIF/.heic files created by iOS devices:

HEIF FILE FORMAT: Please make sure to get file support ready asap, the new Canon 1DX 3 will be pumping out 1000's of .heif files by the Olympics!
