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You need Adobe Camera RAW 6.7 and Lightroom 2.7 is too old for that version - THEREFORE your software is out of date… If you have a proper version of Lightroom (instead of a pirate version) then upgrade…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

Your version of Lightroom is too old.
You need at least Lightroom 3.6 or better 4
You can buy the upgrade for under $80 on line from Adobe
