How to Tether Sony a7iii to Lightroom

[@abbyngann]

The way I scrempt "it worked!!!!" after you said it should work!!! Thank you for making this video! You have such a calming teacher's voice!

[@dylangreen9914]

you are literally the most important person in the world for doing this. holds up in 2023

[@ClareJoAnna]

thanks!! 🫶🙌

[@cnieman82]

Agreed. And in 2024 :)

[@dnadarsh]

This is how videos should be done. I've bookmaked this and come back to this video multiple times just to make sure i remember it all still.

[@tocatlian]

Thank you. It worked :-) The only note worth mentioning is the Lightroom 'Enable Auto Import' wasn't selectable until the source/destination folders were first set in 'Auto Import Settings'.

[@tanushreevaidya11]

This is the easiest, most helpful video I found to tether my a7iii to Lightroom. Thanks so much!

[@BertVanDoninck]

Thank you so much. Picking up my hobby from 15 years ago with an affordable A7iii. Too bad Sony/Adobe doesn't support true tethering directly in Lightroom. But this tutorial showing how to use the Sony software as an in-between really helps.

[@ClareJoAnna]

Glad to hear it was helpful! Thanks for watching

[@jeffjamjeff6669]

After cussing up a storm, I found your tutorial. Perfect, clear, step by step guide. Worked like a charm....but I did enjoy cussing, if I'm honest. 😀

[@ClareJoAnna]

HAHA thanks for your comment! Glad the video helped out 🤪

[@TinoTre]

I’m tethered, finally!!! You made my dreams come true today seriously! Thank you again!

[@AlejandroGonzalez-AGS]

Great video explaining the process…late to the party! Can’t believe two giants don’t want to shake hands for the benefit of all end users…thanks for sharing, be safe. Cheers..

Now I know why I could not connect directly to Lightroom. Thanks so very much for this Very helpful. Love your personality!!

[@ClareJoAnna]

You're welcome! Glad it helped. Cheers!

[@joaquin.a.photographer1031]

Very clear and thorough explanation. I am taking my second semester of photography classes and a couple them require that I shoot tethered with my Sony a7iii. None of my professors seemed especially knowledgable in how to shoot tethered with a Sony since you couldn't do it directly through Lightroom. Their answer when asked was always ask the other professor - lol. Anyway found your video and took all of about 15 minutes to figure it out and now getting my first shots tethered up on screen. I also shared the video with another classmate that uses a Sony a7iii. Thank you so much.

[@ClareJoAnna]

Hello! Thanks so much for your comment. I'm so glad to hear that this video helped you and another student learn how to tether with Sony. -Clare :)

Lol, I wish this video was longer. You have a pleasant attitude, and the kind of chill voice anyone enjoys to listen. Sometimes I speed up 1.5x on tutorials but this video was helpful all the way through!. Try doing an ASMR video & let me know.

[@ClareJoAnna]

Hi Guillermo, thanks for your feedback! I'm glad you enjoyed watching it. :)

[@timothypinheiro7872]

5 Star Review, thank you so much

[@editUout]

Thanks for the video, walked me through getting it setup. I had problems w/ the PC Remote only seeing "mass storgage". It was having a conflict w/ the "control w/ smartphone" in the network tab. In the network tab in the camera, I had to switch "control w/ smartphone" to off, then it opened up the options in the PC Remote.

[@ClareJoAnna]

Hi there! Thanks for watching and for sharing how you resolved your issue. Good to know that the "control with smartphone" needs to be off in order to connect via PC Remote.

[@such_tanch]

Thank you so much! U made my whole life much easer in a 12 minutes!

[@danurmaza9948]

HI! Everytime I press the Shutter, Lightroom always shows the Select Source Dialog Box. How can I get it straight to the Develop Module? Thanks!

[@ClareJoAnna]

Hi Dan, I'd double check to make sure all of your folders between the Remote software and Lightroom are the same folder. Let me know if this helps! - Clare

[@ClareJoAnna]

Hi, thank you so much for this video. Would you know how to block the constant pop up of the viewer app. I am trying to shoot into Lightroom put on the full screen but everytime I shoot viewer gets in the front. Thanks a lot

[@ClareJoAnna]

You're welcome! Thank you for watching :)

[@zeinabyounes6998]

I love your video. I was able to get through everything. The only thing I can’t see is my images on Lightroom. They don’t show up or pop on the screen to view them. Can you help with that? Not sure what I missed to see the transferred image.

[@SebaBertoni]

Thank you.

[@ClareJoAnna]

You're welcome!

[@philindeblanc]

I can totally understand why you are so happy that it connetced, as it actually is close to being a miracle. What a POSony. I use Capture1 as well, and it is easier, but you'd think LR a much larger company and Sony a huge company would have this resolved to be plug and play like Canon or Hasselblad, etc.

[@ClareJoAnna]

I wouldn't consider it a miracle, seeing that if you follow the steps correctly, it is more than possible to connect and get tethered. If you're that upset, then take it up with Sony and contact them directly with your thoughts.

[@midoziko9805]

Amazing very helpful ❤️🙏

[@ClareJoAnna]

great! Thank you!

[@shevchenkogalaviz21]

Thanks for the info! 🙏🏼 I'm ready for all my studio photoshoots.

[@MrSchwarzPaul]

Thanks, it helped a lot

[@ClareJoAnna]

Glad it helped!

[@lugdivinebonomo4287]

Hello, really 1000 thanks for this video! everything is very well explained and even a person like me, not good at software, can get there without any problem!! I just have a question. I'm going to use online shooting for photos of the children in a Christmas setting on a market. So that a 2nd person shows the photos to the parents to make their choices and can print them gradually while I continue to shoot the computer continues to receive the photos... The problem currently is that with each new photo that enters the software when I continue to shoot, the software shows the last photo imported... So if the client is about to choose between photo 1 and 2, with each new photo imported the selection returns at the end of the series... Do you know how to block this? THANKS !!!!!

[@marceloguanabara4695]

thank you very much

[@ClareJoAnna]

You're welcome very much!

[@PLMOU]

thanks a lot, have an issue after i follow all steps,the image dosen't display in lightroom classic only in the sony software do you know why ?

[@christianreacts1267]

First thank you so much for the video! so I have a Sony A7c and under the USB connection there is only Auto, Mass storage and MTP. Any thoughts?

[@kennethvasquez4717]

This Worked Great, Thank You!!!

[@KimmieB008]

Thank you. It worked, but then after taking a few shots, it keeps saying that the destination folder is full... when it is not. And then if I wait a few minutes, it will upload?

[@davideberhardt4977]

I assume that when you choose the destination folder as the same as the watched folder, you are creating a folder in Lightroom with that name? That is the only thing you did not specifically explain but otherwise an excellent tutorial.

[@diegopalma5123]

Hi! When is connected the camera is charging right? It dont uses the battery while is conected? No need to be changung batteries? Thanks!!

[@TheRastaViking]

This was very cool, thanks a lot.
