Old Lightroom file compatibility. Is Lightroom 5.7.1 compatible with Nikon d850 or Z series files?

Are the file formats used in the Nikon D850 or the Z series cameras compatible with an old version of Lightroom, 5.7.1?

Simple rule of thumb: if the camera is newer than the Lr release you're asking about, it won't be supported.

"File format" isn't relevant (Lr 5.x will read NEF files), camera model is (it won't read D850/Z series NEF files.)

Legend

I think the newer Z cameras also require even more recent versions of Lightroom.

You could use the DNG converter to convert the RAWs from these cameras to DNG, which should then be usable in Lightroom 5.7.1.

You would need Perpetual Lightroom 6.13 or later to work with these D850 files.

The version you would need for your Z series depends on the specific camera model.
