P: Support network tethering for post-2020 Sony cameras

Lightroom Classic already supports USB tethering for a wide range of Sony cameras. Adobe uses Sony's proprietary PTP extensions, which are documented in Sony’s “Camera Remote Command” documentation.

Sony has released an updated version of its “Camera Remote Command” documentation, which explains how to add PTP-IP network support for cameras supporting Camera Control PTP 3 (models released from 2020 onwards: A1, A1 II, A9 II, A9 III, A7R IV, A7R IVA, A7R V, A7S III, A7C, A7C II, A7CR and A6700).

Please add PTP-IP support to the current Lightroom Classic tethering code, so that users of modern Sony cameras can tether their cameras by Wi-Fi, built-in Ethernet or a USB-C-to-Ethernet adapter (depending on the networking support in their camera).

Not only would network tethering support be a worthwhile feature enhancement, but adding network tethering will help to overcome user frustration and Adobe’s support burden from the USB driver clash between Sony Imaging Edge and Lightroom Classic on Windows.
