    Came back from my Hong Kong trip which included trading in my 5D mk III for the IV.
    My problem is Lightroom 5.7 64 bit only recognised a few of my cr.2 files and I def have dual pixe Raw switched off as I read LR def can't handle that.
    Not had a deep read yet as I've to go out but after trying DPP there is no way I can use that so for now unless some one comes up with a solution I'll prob just shoot in JPEG for now.


    BTW 5D mk IV 1k cheaper over there and I got 922e for my mk III which had a few things wrong with it, nothing major but lots of lil things.

    Does Lightroom CC support it? Seems a bit of a waste having a MK IV and shooting jpeg.

    Can't you just use DPP to export DNG for Lightroom? Surely the latest version of LR supports the 5DIV?

    Same issue here. I have photoshop cs6 and doesn't support 5d mk4 files. I have no intention of paying a subscription for CC when it is only slightly more improved than cs6.

    I just use DPP to convert the files to DNG and then import them in to lightroom/photoshop. Anyone know if dng loses some information compared to raw files? They are a bit smaller so I'm thinking some compression is happening.

    You don't lose anything with DNG, it's just more space efficient.
