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'.
Thanks! Sometimes, you need to mention the small things. Like CLOSE LIGHTROOM. Everyone mentions google drive etc, but I always have Lightroom open and that the ticket to me figuring this out via your video. THANKS!.
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..
Thank you so much. trying to figured it out for dayyyyy.. and GOD ur video appeared. Do you know why the image appear so slow?? like 4 Seconds slow. it didnt happen with my canon camera. but upgrade to Sony full frame. thank you so much
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.
I watched multiple videos trying to get my A7iii connected and struggled to get the tether working. I got it going on the first try with your steps! Thanks for sharing and thanks for making it so simple!
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.
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.
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.
this is the best explanation of how to tether your sony to LR! I've followed a couple of videos and the stupid "watched, Destination" folder set up screwed me up every time lol. thanks !
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.
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.
Thanks for the awesome explanation Claire, massive help. Is there any way to have the RAWs save on my SD card as well as the selected hard drive location?
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?
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 !!!!!
Hi Philip! Thanks for sharing this info. I don't have Google Backup or Scan on my computer, but it seems like it's best to close every program before trying to tether since this software is super touchy.
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.
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.
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
THANK YOU soooo much for the clear, concise and easy explanation on how to tether with the a7iii. Coming from a Nikon, it seemed way over complicated, but yiy made it so easy - thank you again!💯
So helpful. Everything went well up to capturing images using the remote on my Mac. I opened LR, followed along with the auto import but could not get the images displayed in LR. Still very helpful in getting the images in the Sony app. Thanks.
Hi Diana, thanks for your comment! Sorry to hear the last steps didn't work. Feel free to comment back with more info/ screen shots or email me if you'd like me to look into what could be going wrong. You're so close! My email is clarejoannacreates@gmail.com 🤓
I want to Tether to do a tutorial for Real Estate Photography. I want to show all of the settings on the back of my camera screen...is there a way to do that? So I can show students what my settings are while shooting?
I could do this before, but now my camera just won´t connect? It did it once but then not. I checked the cables with the other camera and it worked fine. Could you tell me what I´m possibly doing wrong. I did refresh the camera, but no. It just does not work. I also tried to see which usb head did you use, but not sure.. ? Which head did you use?
It took me forever to figure this out. You can't be charging your camera when you try to connect. Imaging Edge won't find your camera. Unplug the charger, connect, then plug in charger if necessary.
Hi Steve, may I suggest investing in a separate battery charger like this one: amzn.to/3ISKbGU This way, you can free up your ports and charge batteries beforehand. Thanks for watching - Clare
They change the app and now when i shoot they open the photo in the viwer of the app and not in lightroom and i dont know what to do bc this didn't work
you are literally the most important person in the world for doing this. holds up in 2023
thanks!! 🫶🙌
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!
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'.
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.
I’m tethered, finally!!! You made my dreams come true today seriously! Thank you again!
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. 😀
HAHA thanks for your comment! Glad the video helped out 🤪
Thanks! Sometimes, you need to mention the small things. Like CLOSE LIGHTROOM. Everyone mentions google drive etc, but I always have Lightroom open and that the ticket to me figuring this out via your video. THANKS!.
This is the easiest, most helpful video I found to tether my a7iii to Lightroom. Thanks so much!
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..
Excellent job explaining, I just tried it on my Sony A7R111 and it worked perfectly. Thanks to you 📸👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👍🏿👍🏿
Thank you so much.
trying to figured it out for dayyyyy.. and GOD ur video appeared.
Do you know why the image appear so slow??
like 4 Seconds slow. it didnt happen with my canon camera. but upgrade to Sony full frame.
thank you so much
You're welcome! I think the delay is simply from the time it takes to move the image from camera, to Sony Software, to Lightroom. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for putting this video out, you're amazing!! Thank you!

You need to close Google Backup and Scan, too.
