Fuji raw files are all ".RAF" and lightroom unable to read them

[sandy#56]

First time using my FUJI camera.  Previous camera a NIKON.   Will continue using NIKON as it has a lense I do not have on FUJI.

I shoot in Raw.  Fuji files are "RAF".  Lightroom says they cannot be read.

I am sure there is a simple solution to this.

Verify you have the latest version of LR by doing Help > System Info. If you have any version before 10.3, then update LR by doing Help > Updates.  If you still can't import the .raf files, then check if your camera model is supported yet by LR:

I updated from 9.1 to 10.3.  My camera is a Fuji XT4.  The camera is listed on the supported camera list with a note indicating multiple copies of a image exist within a file.

It worked.

Thank you

Glad you got it resolved.

And note, that the column "Minimum Lightroom Classic version required" is want you are interested in. 

Well, if you never subscribed to an Adobe Plan, and are still on the old stand alone perpetual license, then "Minimum Lightroom Perpetual version required", but unlikely any new cameras and defiantly not if RAF compressed.

What you are not interested in is "Minimum Lightroom version required" that is for Lr Coudy, aka by us old farts as LrPOS. (see I am not an Adobe Fanboy)

I needed to updsate from 9.1 to 10.3.  

I thought I was updated....my new camera has been out for at least a year and is on the list.

Suppose my updates were not up to date

Thanks

What is the exact unedited word-for-word error message?
