Try Lightroom 4 or above (4.1)
Or upgrade ACR (Adobe Camera Raw)

You need Adobe Camera RAW 6.7 and Lightroom 2.7 is too old for that version - THEREFORE your software is out of date… If you have a proper version of Lightroom (instead of a pirate version) then upgrade…

or you DNG to convert…

or use the software that came with the camera and convert…

You need at least Lightroom 3.6 or better 4

You can buy the upgrade for under $80 on line from Adobe
