I use translation because my English is not very good, so I apologize in advance. Thank you very much for explaining it in such detail. I could not see this detail in any RU-vid video, and I could never find "Turkish" content in my own language. I found you completely by chance and I can say that you saved my life. I'm very new to photography and they never explained to me how that cable was set up or gave me the details of whether I should use lightroom classic. That's why I always thought I was making a mistake somewhere. Thank you very much for your video.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💯

Something to note about cables and connectors: There are all kinds of jankety products on the market with varying levels of USB functionality. Be sure to get "full service" devices, USB 3.1 Gen 2 or better (or Thunderbolt) to be certain of fully functional connections. All links in the chain must be at that capability.

I tethered with LR when I first got my R5 and it worked perfect for like a year and then randomly didn't connect my camera anymore. I called canon and adobe and they're telling me my camera may not be supported anymore but I see you've just posted this video months ago and I still have no luck getting my R5 to tether to LR again. I just started using Cascable though and its a great alternative for tethering just have to use an iPad or mobile device and doesnt save to LR automatically, which was the main reason I tethered.

@willsimpsonphoto 4 месяца назад

that's super weird. not sure why that would happen unless there was a firmware update. maybe try a different cable or switching the cable around?

@lauragale9588 8 месяцев назад

Hi there, do you know how to 'save' the presets you use during your tethered shoot so that the effects are on the photo files when you view them after the shoot? I've got excited with the results during the shoot and then the resulting files are just plain... Any advice gratefully received!

@willsimpsonphoto 8 месяцев назад

the edits you make during the shoot should automatically save, if they dont, you should be able to "save as preset" just like you do to create a preset then reapply the preset if it doesnt save

hello and hi, Am using canon 6D for product shoot, i have a doubt. how can we shoot in manual mode with 2 sides flash softbox and also i need to shoot that in remote shoot via PC is that possible?

@willsimpsonphoto 4 месяца назад

im not sure I fully understand, but you would need to use a transmitter on camera to fire the flashes, and as long as you're tethered properly you can fire the camera via the computer through Lightroom. Just make sure that the 6D is compatible for tethering

Hello. I am trying to connect my Canon EOS RP with Lightroom - everything goes well, just one thing doesnt work: images are not saved to computer and I cannot see them in Develop mode or Library mode. What is wrong? The images are saved on a card, but not in computer. The folder T created for tethered photos is still empty... Live view also works but in live view i cannot edit photos instantly. I tried different app - EOS Utility and this app can save images to computer which means something wrong is in Lightroom. Do you guys have any idea please? I would be so thankful if someone can help. Thank you, Pavla

in the description of the video is a link that says "List of cameras" and it doesnt look like the RP is on that list which is why you might be having the problems and only getting some workability.

i believe as long as you set it up to write the photos on the hard drive this will occur. the photos will still save to the memory card, at least they do on mine, and they write to my external hard drive as I save the folder to it when I set up the tether.

I tethered my 5D Mark iv to my Mac laptop. Everything worked fine except I could get my strobes to fire??? What didn't I do? Thanks..

@willsimpsonphoto 4 месяца назад

tethering shouldnt have anything to do with the strobe. That would be related to the transmitter you're using and making sure camera, transmitter and strobe are properly connected with right channels, groups and IDs.

@JDFloyd 9 месяцев назад

The reason you have had cable connection issues is that you bought the wrong cable for your basic need. The orange tether tools cable you bought is the extension cable for USB C to USB C cables, and that is why you needed to use the shorter black USB C cable. What you should have gotten was the Tether Tools USB C to USB C cable instead.

@willsimpsonphoto 9 месяцев назад

Good to know! 😂😂 either way, got it working lol.

@pawelthe1606 3 месяца назад

For camera with USB C connection you dont need tethering cable. Any good USB C cable its work perfect. I work with capture one without special tethering cable

The tether works fine with the Canon R6 but if I include my lights and use a remote control via wifi the lights do not flash. Any solution?

@willsimpsonphoto 3 месяца назад

im not sure why that would happen. theres no reason if the flashes are connected properly they shouldn't fire. maybe try wiping off the contacts. Making sure the strobes are firing prior to setting up the tether to make sure its all good. If works prior to tethering then stops working after, you know thats where the problem is.

@Jude2408 3 месяца назад

@willsimpsonphoto 3 месяца назад

@@Jude2408 that’s really weird. I have no idea why that would be. Sounds like it might be an issue with the communication between camera and tether. So maybe it’s not supported but if that’s a problem with canon software or Adobe software is uncertain.

To date, tethershooting does not work with an R6 Mark II. This is also soon 1 year old. I am really pissed at Adobe because Canon has been sending the information data to Adobe for months. My R6 Mark 1 does work, but again the images are transferred very sporadically via the laptop to my Samsung SSD. Not all images are transferred, it has to be constantly re-paired. The camera settings popup window is constantly in the middle of the screen instead of you placing the window somewhere on the edge. You have to constantly move this window around. I use a high quality orange tether cable like they do that goes directly into the laptop. It's really annoying with this Lightroom software. Adobe really needs to pull their finger out of their butt.

@willsimpsonphoto 10 месяцев назад

Oh yeah that’s super annoying. I was wondering if it was just me or an issue with the companies. Hopefully they do fix it.
