Can Lightroom Classic ver. 10.4 [202108071231-af9219b9] Process RAW photos from the Sony A7iv?

Greetings!

I'm a Lightroom Classic subscriber running the final LR version compatible with my legacy Mac... which is ver. 10.4 [202108071231-af9219b9]

I just ordered the Sony A7iv and I'm wondering if my version of Lightroom will be able to process the RAW photos from the new camera when it arrives? Does anyone know... or know how I can find out?

Thank You!

According to: https://helpx.adobe.com/camera-raw/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html you will need version 11.1 for A7IV support.

Thanks for the guidance, Rikk... much appreciated.

Bummer.

Do you happen to have a suggestion for how I might get my photos into LR without ver. 11.1?

There is an archive of DNG Converter versions (for which you would need an FTP App) at-

DNG ARCHIVES- Requires FTP access!

However when you find a legacy DNG Converter version compatible with your Mac OS 10.14.6 it is very likely (certain! IMO) that the legacy version still does not support the Camera Raw version needed to convert your new A7iv camera raw files.

(Time for a Mac upgrade?)

Thanks for the DNG Archives info, Rob!

I understand an archived version of the converter might not work, but I'd like to give it a whirl with my fingers crossed. Someone here https://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/4565583 wrote: "I run Mojave 10.14.6 and use the latest version of DNG converter (13.2...) which works fine."

How does one aquire the password for FTP access, Rob?
