How to Connect and Use Sony Cameras for Tethering in Lightroom

Tethering is a great way to see your photos in real-time during a photoshoot. However, Lightroom doesn't have the ability to communicate with Sony cameras to use them for tethering but there is a workaround. This video will cover what this workaround is and how I go about connecting and using my Sony camera for tethering in Lightroom.

Desiree I have been trying to get Lightroom to teather for a while now and no one explained this better than you. Eres una reina

Excellent Video Desiree, Many thanks to you

First, thank you, I've been looking for a good video on this workaround. Second, for a camera brand that's arguably one of the top 3 brands for photography to have to have a workaround to tether with another top 3 photo editing app is mind blowing. ijs

Thank you so much. I have been struggling for hours to ge this to work on my Mac The advice about shutting the other programs worked perfectly and I know what to do next time. A real help

Desiree, I thought that there was some setting that I'd entered wrong, and then I listened to what you said about Smart Shooter 5. I was clueless and a bit frustrated, thank you.

I'm old enough to remember when life was simple! Why have we made life so complicated? Haven't we exchanged real knowledge for procedures and processes. Thanks for convincing me I don't need to tether. This just does my head in ...

Thank you Desiree ! It is working for me..

[AngeloVerona]

Wow. Thank you. I just decided to buy Capture One, just because this is utterly stupid, and I am highly technical. But even that, this is working. I am not sure who to blame, but either Sony or Adobe should be ashamed.
