Hi Rok,

Thanks. Great. I already made a video (Dutch) about it: https://youtu.be/Xh1vbM1iI-A

John Gress has a clever workaround: https://youtu.be/m5bAAdj6k7g

Yeah, that's one way and you can do that wireless by wifi. But it is slower than direct with LR.

My R6 was working just fine in tethered capture (LR Classic 10.1.1.) until I upgraded Canons R6  firmware to 1.2.0.

Are you positive on that? Becaus eoyu can downgrade the firmware on the camera. If it is truly possible i might do that.

Yes, and I think there is a warning about that when you are upgrading.

As already stated in this thread, we're not Adobe, we don't know.

Oh, and please avoid using the words Lightroom CC. Adobe no longer markets the product that way. Currently Lightroom Classic. Using the terms Lightroom CC can imply you are refering to the cloud centric  Lightroom (aka as Lightroom Cloudy by members, Lightroom Desktop by Adobe Techs)

Your fellow members on this community site are not Adobe employees. We have no idea. And Adobe is very bad at sharing such information.

 

As for what cameras are supported, see:

Why not use Canon EOS Utility + LR auto-import? EOS Utility gives much more controls for tethered shooting (e.g. Live view).

This is the only I could get tethering to work but it doesn't seem as fast as tethering directly as it has to detect the new file then import it into LR catalog.
