Sony a7v compressed and HQ raw not supported

Still not HQ or c ompressed raw support for the Sony a7v. Seems awfully late but so was Adobe LR. Kind of maddening with the reduction in frames per second before buffer is full with the other raw formats.

Only the most popular new hybrid FF mirrorless this year.

Just tried today, 3/20/26 and the buffer was much more usable with compressed raw BUT NOOOO support in pureraw 6.0.1
Doesn’t make me want to by new or more dxo software products.

Not likely to happen, as what you’re asking PureRAW to support isn’t actually RAW. This was responded to by DxO a while back:

If its helpful I posted a workaround here Support for Sony a7v - #26 by stmcamera

don’t u realize how much this negates the real reason for upgrading a7rv to a7v??? It is for the electronic 30 fps shutter if you shoot BIF. the buffer lasts onl y a few shots with lossless compressed but a LOT longer with the compressed raw.

I am NOT going to buy Photolab just to get a little raw support for my sony a7v (which is an awesome camera for birds). I don’t care about the details which end up in NO, we don’t support you in PureRaw 6. I will just stick with Lightroom denoise or topaz studio ai. Wow, way to lose a whole lot of customers, dxo.
Maybe I will change my mind on Photolab in the future but not for a couple years. Added bony, Less upgrade fees.

So to sum up, it looks like you could shoot lossless RAW but fill your buffer quicker, then edit in whatever you want - but you don’t want to do that because you’re relying on your buffer to get shots.

You could learn to anticipate shots better?

If you don’t want to buy software that doesn’t currently support your specific need, that’s fine. I’m not sure why it needs multiple threads bumped from a month ago.
