Hi everyone,
I’m having an issue with Lightroom. I used to shoot with a Canon T5i connected in Tethering mode, and it worked perfectly. But suddenly, Lightroom stopped recognizing the camera. It just stays as if it’s searching for the camera but never finds it.

Has anyone else experienced this problem or knows how to fix it?
Thanks a lot in advance for your help! 🙏

Hi @Raul_Cardozo8081, welcome to the community!

Could you let us know which version of Lightroom you're using? As a first step, I'd recommend resetting your Lightroom preferences. Sometimes an internal file can cause issues, and this will help restore everything to its default settings.

Thanks so much!
