Canon R6 CR3 Files are Not able to be seen in PREVIEW

Many have been bringing this up as an issue for a while now...


I was happy to see a NEW Article today that said THIS ISSUE is now RESOLVED....

It's Not.... sadly


I HAVE Big Sur 11.2 on an iMac 19,1 all updates are up to date as of this writing at 1:32pm PST.


ARTICLE CONTENT

Digital camera RAW formats supported by iOS 14, iPadOS 14, and macOS Big Sur

These operating systems include system-level support for RAW images taken by many third-party cameras.


iOS 14, iPadOS 14, and macOS Big Sur include enhanced support for processing digital camera RAW formats, providing better detail and improved noise reduction. These RAW formats offer greater image-editing flexibility on iOS and iPadOS using third-party apps that support RAW.1

Support for additional RAW formats is added over time. This list is current as of 2 February 2021 and reflects compatibility for the latest versions of iOS 14, iPadOS 14, and macOS Big Sur.


LISTED CAMERAs in article stating they are fixed

  • Canon EOS R5
  • Canon EOS R6


Article Reference (notice the date Feb 2, 2021, that was 2 days ago)

SO THIS IS A FALSE ARTICLE

It States something was Addressed, Fixed and Released....

However this is NOT the Case.


The PROBLEM is that RAW CR3 files by Canon's latest Full Frame Digital Camera, specifically the R5 and R6 are NOT supported Natively in Big Sur v11.2 and can NOT be seen in PREVIEW.

iMac 27″, macOS 11.2

Ybbe, I agree, with your statement, card readers are best. I have tested the cable method, and as I stated in a previous response a moment ago, it went without success on 3 different hardware based Macs running Big Sur 11.2. Wireless is a battery suck with the new R5 & R6 and only works with Canon's software, which is not what I was attempting to solve, however it is a good point of reference for conversation on connectivity methods. That's another topic for a Canon forum, however ;)


I have to say this is a point of frustration that Apple has yet to resolve. I did submit another request to them with this thread for documentation.
