Changing between shooting JPG and RAW while tethering to LRC

I have always shot RAW to my CF card and JPG to my SD card. When I am tethering with LRC, in the past I have just switched the playback options depending on whether I wanted the tethering to be RAW or JPG. However, that is now not working. 

 

I was trying to set up Smart Shooter 5 to work with my LRC but I have reversed that as it has messed everything up in my LRC. I know this is a casualty of that but don't know how to fix it.

I worked out what my issue was. When I installed Smart Shooter and integrated it with LRC, it somehow changed my settings in my camera and so it was only saving JPG images and not RAW. Once I changed my camera back to saving both, I was able to tether in both RAW and jpg whenever needed

Hi @kirstineWalton, thanks so much for reaching out!
Could you share a few more details about the issue, like which version of Lightroom Classic you’re using and your camera model?
One quick step that often helps if settings have gotten mixed up is resetting Lightroom Classic preferences. Here’s a guide on how to do that:
