Lightroom Classic 13.3 adds tethering support for selected recent Sony cameras, including the A7 IV. However, I cannot get tethering to work with a USB-C connected Sony A7 IV (3.01 firmware) on my Windows 11 computer; I get a "Detecting Camera" dialog with a spinning wheel, but no further. The same camera, cable and camera settings work correctly in the Remote part of Sony Imaging Edge.

I can get my A7C2 to tether to Lightroom and it will see live view etc. However the picture only appears in Lightroo, in "destination " mode. It won't capture the photo in card and destination mode

@Sharma_Nitinwas able to walk me through it on MacOS. Evidently, the menu setting for PC Remote ON is different than the PC Remote prompt that comes up when you connect USB.

@CookiemonsterI was able to get it working on windows, but unfortunately it was an academic experiment because my windows machine is a desktop that lives in my home office. Still haven't gotten it to work on my Macbook Pro.

The instructions in that video do not work for the latest firmware on many of the supported Sony cameras. What I found to work was that the Adobe Team suggested earlier in this thread involvog using the MTP USB Device driver. I'd suggest no longer recommending that video as it will usually just lead to frustration.

Thanks @Rikk Flohr: Photography . Unfortunately the a7rV has different menu pics than the a1.

For example, I don't have the option to toggle smartphone connect ON or OFF. I beleve it is disabled because when I select that menu item, it gives me a QR code to set up a connection.

PC Remote doesn't have a connect method option.
