Can't open .ARW (Sony ZV-1) in macOS Catalina with Preview app

Hi!

I've bought a Sony ZV-1 lately.


With the current latest version of Catalina (10.15.6) I can't open RAW-files from this camera with the "Preview"-app.

(btw: same goes for iOS and iPadOS both running the latest iOS 14 beta, but that's another story.)




Anyone any ideas why I can't open Sony RAW photos?

It's not that you can't open Sony RAW photos, there is no support for RAW support of that specific camera. It may or may not be supported in the next version of macOS.
