Sony RX100 VI Raw support

We are just fellow users, so cannot speak to Apple's internal processes after the camera vendor provides the supporting code information. Look for it when you see it is the best advice. The Sony RX100 VI RAW support may/may not be in the initial Mojave release on 9/24.

I would expect a new living Apple document released after Mojave that is the counterpart to the Digital Camera RAW formats provided here for iOS 11 and High Sierra.

Fantastic! I guess this answers my original question. When I purchased the camera last week, the raw file would not open in photos. Now it does! Either I made a mistake, or something has changed. Interesting that the camera is still not listed in the official list of camera raw files supported by High Sierra: Digital camera RAW formats supported by iOS 11 and macOS High Sierra - Apple Support

FWIW, I just downloaded some RAW Sony RX100 VI images from here…

And they open fine in High Sierra 10.13.6 despite the camera not specifically being listed in Apple's RAW support page.

FWIW, no one keeps track of all the cameras Apple supports and the time it took for them to be supported. In this case, the Sony RX100 VI is already supported.

I was unable to download any of these as RAW. They all came down as JPG. Did I miss something?

You need to click on the right side where it says Download: RAW.

You need to select the RAW version to download:

I was able to download the .ARW file and import to Photos successfully:
