Hello,

I've updated my A7IV with version 4.00. 

Again, they "forgot" to update the read-out of the photos. Since the previous update, my phone and Lightroom does not accept the ARW files. I have to convert all my files to DNG before I can edit them in Lightroom.

Does anybody also have this issue?

And no, I don't want to use Sony software for editing..

The problem is not with Sony but with your 3rd party software, which needs to be updated. Best only update your camera firmware once the corresponding update for your favourite editing software is released. Usually takes a couple of weeks before software is updated to be able to read the newest RAW files.

I've never had software stop recognizing files from a firmware update. Once the software recognizes the camera you should be ok. Not saying this isn't possible, just seems odd. 

It'd be worth contacting Adobe's CS to ask them. 

You didn't happen to switch over the Lossless Compressed RAW at some point, did you? I have some software that won't properly recognize the smaller files even three years later.

      A7 IV Freezing

      AI sez: The CHIPFANCIER CFexpress Type A 4.0 memory card offers 1700MB/s read speeds and is VPG400 certified, making it suitable for 8K video and high-speed shooting. However, some users have reported limitations in frame rates with this card.  Don't know if that applies, but it sounds similar. Any chance on using/getting a different card? The A7 IV has a ridiculous buffer, it shouldn't slow down at all with a good card.

      Make sure camera and lens is updated to latest firmware.

      ISO Bracketing

      By Richard A · Posted

      ISO 320 is the A7R5's second base ISO setting. You will find at ISO 320 you will get better results than even ISO 200. I normally take a set of shots at 1600, 3200 and 6400 ISO. I am taking 60 light frames and 10 dark frames. I don't do any adjustments to the files before stacking. I really need to get organised and do some bias frames now. Here is pretty much my first successful Milky Way shot from a few months ago. I was combatting a bit of ambient light and quite a lot of cloud but I'm pretty happy with this. It was shot using my Sigma 16-28 f2.8 which is better at astro than I had anticipated, at ISO 1600.
