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.
