The ILCE-1M2 is the only body tested across all three Sony RAW size variants (S/M/L). All files use compressed RAW, and every body achieves full-resolution L-size output, ranging from 12.4 MP (ILCE-1M2 S-crop) to 60.2 MP (ILCE-7RM5). The ILCE-7M5 and ILCE-7RM5 are the next bodies to focus on, but I depend on test ARW files to properly test them before officially concluding support for these two bodies.</p>https://rawcull.netlify.app/blog/2026/04/07/version-1.4.0/Tue, 07 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://rawcull.netlify.app/blog/2026/04/07/version-1.4.0/<h3 id="version-140---april-7-2026">Version 1.4.0 - April 7, 2026<a class="td-heading-self-link" href="#version-140---april-7-2026" aria-label="Heading self-link"></a></h3> <blockquote> <p>RawCull supports a broader range of Sony FullFrame camera bodies.
