Raw picture files (.ORF) from my Olympus OMD EM1 Mark III are not accepted bij Apple Photos

The raw picture files (.ORF) from my Olympus OMD EM1 Mark III are not accepted bij Apple Photos and so cannot be edited, or stored with all my other (Olympus mostly) pictures. Does anyone have a solution? When will Apple provide the necessary software?

The camera has been on the market since February last year. Usually the RAW support for a new camera will be released within a year, if Apple will support it at all. Not every camera will get RAW support by Apple. Try to find a workflow that will work for you, if the worst case happens, and the camera will not be supported.

  • The DNG Converter suggested by Matti requires an extra step of conversion, but you could work still with RAW files.
  • Or set your camera to shoot TIFF, so you will at least have image files in a high quality, lossless format. But you may need more storage than for DNG files.
