Hi @LG5,

Welcome to the Affinity Forums

Unfortunately the Sony A7 iv is not currently a supported camera model, hence the application is unable to open these files currently.

You can find our full RAW support model list here - 

I hope this clears things up!

any idea when it will be supported?

Affinity uses LibRAW for RAW support in the apps, meaning we must wait for LibRAW to add support for your camera, before this can be imported into an Affinity update.

Due to this third party reliance, I'm unable to provide a timescale for when this may be added, though we hope this will be sooner rather than later - my apologies.
