Have you ever experienced that Mac Photo application can’t support and view your RAW files? As far as I know, the latest macOS Monterey still cannot support some camera devices, such as Canon R10 and R7 camera, Sony Alpha-ILCE-9 camera, OM System OM-1 camera. In some older macOS versions, there are more raw files that cannot be supported (eg Canon R5 camera in macOS Big Sur). What should we do when we need to edit and manage these raw files in the Mac Photos app?
Whether your raw camera format photos are supported depends largely on your current macOS version, many older macOS versions are no longer continuously updated, making it impossible to support new camera devices. You can check which camera models your current Mac supports. Click Apple menu About this Mac -> Overview -> System Report… -> Scroll down and click Raw Support on the left window, it will list all the camera names supported by the current Mac.
If your current camera is not listed above, it means that raw files from this camera may not be supported by Mac applications. If your camera uses JPEG+RAW shooting mode, you can still use JPEG photos normally, it won't be affected in any way. If you still want to edit the capture time of RAW photos, title, description, photo GPS location and more photo exif data like inside the Photos application, you can use other 3rd party application- Photo Exifer on your Mac.
Download and install the Photo Exifer application on your Mac, a photo metadata editor application that supports metadata modification of most RAW photos.
