How to Tether your Canon to Lightroom | This made me a BETTER and more PROFESSIONAL Photographer

One way to really upgrade your ability to take better photos is to learn to tether your camera to your computer while you shoot. This allows you and your models to watch as the photos come in. This will allow you to adjust lighting, adjust poses and make your photos perfect!

Tethering is a great way to up your photo game. Have you tried it?

[stephaniemolina]

Thank you so much! I was looking for a step-by-step process on how to connect and I got it working! I am sooo excited! Subscribed! THANK YOU!!!

I use translation because my English is not very good, so I apologize in advance. Thank you very much for explaining it in such detail. I could not see this detail in any YouTube video, and I could never find "Turkish" content in my own language. I found you completely by chance and I can say that you saved my life. I'm very new to photography and they never explained to me how that cable was set up or gave me the details of whether I should use lightroom classic. That's why I always thought I was making a mistake somewhere. Thank you very much for your video.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💯

I have WORKED with these photos. I was an email designer for TUFF before I switched to photography. Great photos/video.

Something to note about cables and connectors: There are all kinds of jankety products on the market with varying levels of USB functionality. Be sure to get "full service" devices, USB 3.1 Gen 2 or better (or Thunderbolt) to be certain of fully functional connections. All links in the chain must be at that capability.

I could not connect until I read the manual you need to disable Wi-Fi worked like a charm thanks for the video

Thank you - simple and to the point. Just hopes it works with the R6

I tethered with LR when I first got my R5 and it worked perfect for like a year and then randomly didn't connect my camera anymore. I called canon and adobe and they're telling me my camera may not be supported anymore but I see you've just posted this video months ago and I still have no luck getting my R5 to tether to LR again. I just started using Cascable though and its a great alternative for tethering just have to use an iPad or mobile device and doesnt save to LR automatically, which was the main reason I tethered.

I couldnt connect my camera and i swapped the cable around like you said and it worked! Insane...

[matteotorre]

Hi Will! It seems I bought for me on Amazon the same structure...but please tell me: what kind of photographic backdrop did you buy?!? It seems perfet to use: simple, straight ( I have a cotton one, nice but you need to iron it..), long enough to have full body portrait, easy to attach via the hooks...)

[matthewdooley]

Just wondering, ive a camera with a USB type B port, would a standard USB A to USB B cable work for that or would i need a dedicated tethering cable? That shi is expensive.

[gerardoboni-ykmv]

Hey where do you fnd your background? can you share the amazon product please?

[L.Spencer]

Can you see live mode while tethered, to be able to make adjustments instead of just taking a picture and then seeing if it's right?

[giselleligao]

Tether Capture is now showing up in my lightroom

[MrIowahawks]

Do you ever have any problems with your external hard dives being corrupted? What do you recommend for external hard drives. Thank you

[virgian]

Thanks for the info👌🏾Was there a cover on your water container? I got nervous just seeing your Mac and camera gear next to a possible open water container😁🫣

[veronicagallego]

Where it says "live" I have Interactive. The camera takes the picture but does not save to the computer nor it shows in LR. Any advise? Thanks!

[NorthSaplingsPhotography]

Is there a way to save files on the hard drive AND a memory card in the camera as well at the same time using this method? :) Thanks!

[VOZM]

This is excellent. Can one use Canon 6d mark ii with this setting?

[Lesa]

How do you get the imported photo ( taken sideways in portrait mode) to rotate or I guess to NOT rotate to landscape? I know I've gotten it to work before but now I can't. Argh.
