Question

Anyone successfully tethering a Canon R5 to LrC even with the updates installed?

I uploaded LrC to 9.4 and Camera Raw to 12.4 and when I try to tether my Canon R5, it never recognizes the camera.  Continuosly tells me 'no camera'.  If I use Canon Connect 3, the camera is recognized (only by the canon program).  Thus, cable and camera is fine, something going on between R5 and LrC.  If anyone has any suggestions or has successfully tethered, please advise.  Thanks

Wow this is seriously tragic, had to buy Capture One since Lightroom can not keep up the game.

I struggle shooting portraits without tethering my Canon R5 to Lightroom Classic while shooting my client's portraits.  Sadly, that is exactly what I am doing with the NEW RELEASED Lightroom Classic 10.0 update.  I like Adobe's products and can only speculate that they locked down the last RC (release candidate) well before Canon launched the R5. I am doing everything I can to AVOID PURCHASING another solution for my portrait work & TETHERING. However, if Adobe thinks that I have too much time invested in LR's workflow...that I won't abandon ship for another solution - they would be wrong.  I almost feel as if Adobe wants us to shop around for other solutions.

I just downloaded LRC v10.0 and it still doesn't recognize the Canon r5 as being connected?  WTF

Support for the raw files comes first. Support for tethered shooting follows later. Tethered shooting is not something that is automatically guaranteed for every model.

Makes sense.  Thanks everyone for responding and the clarification.
