How to Tether Sony a7iii to Lightroom
Фильм және анимация
If you haven’t already tried shooting tethered, it’s a great tool to take advantage of and it’s useful for all kinds of photography.
Shooting tethered allows you to see your images in real time on a much larger screen than just on a small viewfinder or LCD. It allows you to remotely control your camera and see various grid overlays which are extremely helpful with framing, composition, and stop motions. It can even help you gain bonus points from clients because clients love to be able to easily see what’s happening as you’re working.
Unfortunately as of now, the Sony a7iii cannot directly connect to tether with Lightroom Classic. The good news is that Sony developed its own free software which serves as a bridge to allow your Sony a7iii to connect and work with Lightroom.
Everything You'll Need to Tether!!
Sony a7iii
Computer
Adobe Lightroom Classic
Tethering Tools Cable- I use the TetherPro USB 3.0 to USB-C (High-Visibility Orange): amzn.to/3iwQLFz

thanks!! 🫶🙌
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'.
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!
Thanks for this. Clear, concise and straight to the point. Super helpful.

Hi there! Thanks so much, I really appreciate it. Cheers!
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.

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.

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 !!!!!
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?
Great video very informative, your the best thank you!

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.
question, when I take the picture in Lightroom classic. the image pops up in "Viewer" first then after maybe 2seconds it'll import to my LRC & be visible.Any solution on how to not have the image show up in "Viewer" and just only show in LRC after picture is taken? thanks. in advance :)
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.

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!
