SONY RAW FILES NOT SUPPORTED BY MAC PREVIEW UNDER MAC MONTEREY VER 12.3.1

Hi Team,

I recently purchased a newly updated SONY A7R IV "A" Camera. And I realised that MAC doesnt support and got a error "The File ***.ARW" couldnt be opened. Preview currently does not support this raw file format". Will Mac ever release the update to support SONY newly updated Raw files for A7R IV "A" & A7R III "A" ?

Thanks?

iMac 27″, macOS 10.15

No one outside of Apple knows when - or even if - Apple will add raw support for any particular camera. IN the meantime your options are to convert the raws to DNG using Adobe's free converter or use an app that supports that particular raw.
