RAW Preview Issue with Fuji X-H1 on Lightroom Mobile (iPad & iPhone)

Hi everyone,

I'm experiencing a frustrating issue with Lightroom Mobile on both my iPad and iPhone (both running iOS 18.3.1 and Lightroom Mobile version 10.2.2 B5882C/190).

When I connect an SD card from my Fuji X-H1 camera to import photos, I can’t see previews for the RAW files. Only the JPG files show previews, while the RAW files appear as grey icons. I can still select and import the RAW files, but not being able to preview them makes it difficult to choose which ones to import.

Interestingly, when I connect the Fuji X-H1 directly to my iPad or iPhone via USB, the RAW previews are visible in Lightroom Mobile. Additionally, when I use an SD card from my Sony A7II, both JPG and RAW previews are visible without any issues.

Has anyone else encountered this problem with Fuji RAW files when importing from an SD card? Is this a known bug or a limitation with how Lightroom Mobile handles Fuji RAW files?

Any insights or workarounds would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance,

For certain operations, we are dependent upon Operating System support. My best guess is that is the effect of what you are seeing.

I'm having the same exact issue with Fuji XT-50.

    This doc, https://support.apple.com/en-us/120534, contains this footnote regarding iOS Support of the Fuji X-H1:
    "1. Uncompressed RAW format only"

    Thanks for the info, Rikk! I noticed the footnote about the Fuji X-H1 supporting only uncompressed RAW on iOS. What’s confusing me is that I can see RAW previews in Lightroom Mobile when I connect my Fuji X-H1 directly to my iPad or iPhone via USB (using the same SD card), but not when I import via an SD card reader—those just show as grey icons. Any ideas why this might be happening? Could it be related to how iOS processes RAW files from a card reader versus a direct camera connection?
