- Tethering is a time saver because it lets you control your camera during a shoot and transfer images directly from the camera to your computer right after the photo is taken. In this video, I demonstrate how to tether the Sony A7IV camera to your computer via a USB cable and wirelessly using Sony's Imaging Edge Desktop app on a Mac.

This was super helpful, thanks very much for taking the time and effort to share this detailed walkthrough. Much appreciated!
Great info Desiree! I’m now in the Sony camp and learning about their features. This is a useful visual aid, nicely paced and detailed.
This video is exactly what I needed! Thank you!!
Thank you Desiree!
Very helpful video! Thank you.
Can't thank you enough. Wow. Very helpful video!
Amazing. Thank you!
oh wow your little tip about shutting down dropbox and waiting 1 minute finally made it work for me! Thank you so much!
I'm glad it worked for you!
Thank you!! Your video was the only one that explained the Dropbox issue and actually worked!
I'm so glad to hear that the video helped!
Thanks for your time. It saved me hours of desperate attempts to solve some issues as a Mac users!!!!
Thank you, Regards From Mexico
Thank you!!
Desire I love this video. Very informative.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
You are amazing!!! Thank you 🙏 ❤
great info
I use Sony Imaging Edge with my A7rIV and A1. I also use on occasion my dummy battery for the camera so I don't run out of battery and I always have it handy in case I do run out of battery and still need to shoot. I've ditched Capture One and now use Imaging Edge, and Affinity Photo for my work flow.
thanks
Thank you for a well thought out presentation! I want to go wirelessly from my Sony bodies to the app on a 12.4" Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 FE. Just to have something in my studio that clients can see soon after I take a shot. Have you heard of folks doing this before?
Thanks for watching! I haven't heard of anyone doing that while the camera is tethered to the computer using the Imaging Edge app. It may work if the camera is connected to a different tethering software like Smart Shooter or Capture One and then wirelessly connected to the tablet through the app, in case the camera can only connect to one Sony app at a time. I haven't tried that setup but having a dedicated screen for clients to view the photos is nice to have while you're shooting.
Hello @Desiree,
I looked everywhere how to hide the operation panel in imaging edge and just view the full screen of Live view. Any solution?
Thanks
I don't see the 'Connect mode' graphic on my camera that you show at 5:15. Instead, I get "USB mode Mass storage'. Imaging edge says it doesn't find the camera, though the cards come up as discs
Remote Shoot (PC Remote) is grayed out after I connect via USB. No idea what setting to change to get it to be an active option.
This is really super helpful video. Is there a way to tether and upload to an online storage as soon as we capture the image? That way clients can scan the ar code of my drive link and look at the pics
You can turn on Lightroom sync for the collection you are saving the photos in. Then you can open Lightroom mobile on another device and as those photos are added to the collection on the computer they will sync to your Lightroom mobile account and appear on any device that has the app.
Hi Desiree, great work. Im new to Imaging Edge Desktop and need your help. I want to tether my Sony a7 iv with Green Screen Removal for Live Events. What is the simplest and most effective way to achieve this. A video tutorial would be amazing.
Thanks for the video suggestion!
Thank you for taking time and explaining all this process Desiree!!
I am trying to shoot remote videos in remote mode and they are not saving to my laptop. Photos are saving and works fine, but not with videos. Did you had this issue, what could be the problem?
Did you figure out your issue?
USB C to USB cable from the phone will doesn't work?
Isn't there a way to do it wirelessly through WIFI? I have A6600!
I have tried to tether my A74 to my MacBook Pro with no success. I have version 2.01 on my camera. Could that be why it's not working? My menu screens don't look like yours in the video. Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated.
Yes that could be it. Sony made a change to that model after the 2.0 update. You will have to use their creator app for phones and tablets to tether.
Great video. Would you happen to know if I can tether to my Sony A7? The first A7 lol. Thanks for this.
Thank you! You would have to check if the Imaging Edge app is compatible with the A7. Most likely it is but it may not access all of the camera's features as it does for the newer models.
Yes it is but it uses the micro USB. Be sure you have a secure connection to your camera before you do as the adapters from usb to micro usb tend to not be very secure. I have an arc base to my camera that has a slot to route your cables so they don't get yanked out of the camera and is more stable than the floppy connection from tether tools. Tethertools solution is fine with the usb-c connection and Hdmi if you are using one of those for any reason.
Great video Desiree, when using Image Edge in PC, during remote video- your USB charges the camera? (A7 IV)?
Yes it does.
Does the USB-C Cable charge the camera for along time for streaming.
Also do I need some kind off dummy battery to keep it from not dying ? Sony a7iv is confusing 🤔
Yes the USB-C cable will power the camera for a long time as long as there is a battery inside the camera. If you have the USB-C cable and the battery in the camera, you don't need a dummy battery since that combination acts as a dedicated power supply. Previous A7 models required a dummy battery connected to a power adapter to keep the camera on for a long time but not the A7IV.
Do I have to do this every time I tether? this is a lot of work! or from now on am I plug and play?
You would have to do this everytime you want to do a tethered setup. I just released a new video with a different software that has a much easier one time setup and works so much faster. You can watch it here. czcams.com/video/h8sJTVP1IMU/video.html
😍😍😍😍😍
🙏🙏🙏
so stupid they forgot about the plastic cable clamp
Why the bafoonery would lightroom not get the code for tethering sony cameras? Sure, just be lazy and have 33% of your customer base go to another company that does get the tethering code 🧠
The document “DSC03404.ARW” could not be opened. Imaging Edge Desktop cannot open files in the “Sony ARW raw image” format. =( stupid update ruined everything, no it doesn't work.
