I don't see that listed on their website, still their old doc from october 2020.

Where did you get your info from?

March 4th... going on multiple releases and almost a year since camera release and still no tethering.

So disappointed.

I tried C1 and honestly wasnt a huge fan. Maybe I should give it more time.

I am surely not the only one whose business is starting to pick up in the hopeful tail end of the pandemic, and tethering for product, content and portraits while with clients is part of my standard offer.

I made the switch to c1 when I got my r5 and figured out I couldn't tether in lightroom with it. C1 has been really great. I wont be going back to lightroom. (also c1 is industry standard on set)

Give it more time.

I am using Capture One to tether now. Here is a fantastic video from John Gress that explains; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGlcO-Pb64E

Yes, I saw his video and I'm currently working the same way. With this work around EOS Utility has be open as well for me to work. I'm on the trial version of C1 hoping that the LR-update will be here within a month. Fingers crossed.

I have the same issue with my R6.
I have LR5 classic. Will this be solved if I upgrade to creative cloud?

I also have problems connecting my camera to EOS Utillity that I have always used with my Canon 6D. The EOS Utillity software simply doesn't recognise my R6 camera.

Do you know how I can solve this?
Thanks a lot in advance 😉

I just got my Canon R5 and I rely on tethered shooting for my day to day business as a photographer. I am very surprised it's not available in LR Classic yet. I hope it will be there soon, because I don't want to switch to C1 (yet).

You might try the EOS utility. You can also tryC1 as they offer free 30 day trial without credit card. Beware though as you will like it.

Thanks for your respons. I don't want to switch to C1 yet, but maybe I'll give the 30 day trial a chance.

I have now been using C1 for about 1 month. I use it for portrait and studio work. I actually like the software and have the color grading to be much better better than Adobe. Tethered shooting is better as well. C1 allows for easy access to Photoshop where I can still use plugins etc. I think in the future I will use C1 for studio/portrait and Lightroom for landscape

Go for it. If it works for you, great!

we have now reached version 10.1.1 of January, and not even the shadow of the R5 support ... how long do we still have to wait before switching to another software like C1?

You have to wait as long as Adobe takes to add the support.

I just got the R5 and was surprised that I could not shoot tethered. This is huge element in my portrait and commercial workflow. I've tried the EOS utility and find it lacking. I think I might need to try

Capture 1 as it is supported there.
