PSE 2024 will not open RAW from brand new RX100 VIIA, but........

[Dave in Wales]

.......But it will open RAW from a previous version of the RX100 VII (not A) that I sold on.

I've downloaded the latest Camera Raw, makes no difference.

Can it be that the updated 'A' version makes a difference.

I cannot work on version 'A' RAW files in PSE 2024

From Google AI.......
The "A" variant—a minor refresh—simply removes older, less secure Wi-Fi protocols (WEP, WPA-TKIP), discontinues in-camera Micro-USB battery charging, and now updates the RAW file metadata to reflect "DSC-RX100M7A

Very puzzled Dave in Wales.

Sounds like Adobe Camera Raw has yet to update to handle the raws from the "A" variant.

Perhaps send Adobe a request for help as to when they will do so?

Edit ~ perhaps these links will help?
