Thanks for this. I used Capture 1 for a month or so and couldn't justify the price. This super handy. Installed it on my iMac and my MacBook Air. I use manual lenses and this helps with the focus previewing.

@PhillipSkraba 4 жыл бұрын

Yes, I have used Capture One for many years, and the price of updating is really getting on my nerves. It's a fantastic program and it's very powerful, but it's really expensive, I'm guessing that because the pros that use it get paid in gold, so for them it's not that bad. Sony Imaging Edge desktop is a great program, it works really well, and for manual lenses it's a blast. I'm happy I could help you 🔥

Is there a way to improve the frame rate for this? For using the camera as a webcam for example

@PhillipSkraba 3 жыл бұрын

I'm afraid that really depends on your laptop, the app is actually quite good but I don't think it's the best way to use the camera for a webcam though. I'm sure there are better apps out there for that specific need.

Really instructive video, but i have an issue. I get to 2:57. When i select the camera in the remote window this message pops up "The camera is not connected" , any ideas ? A7riii connected to a mac via an adaptor hub. Cable is usb and mac only has usb c. Thank you.

I've had that problem, only when using the Macbook charging cable, for me it didn't want to connect via that, so sometimes it could be the cable, if you have followed all the steps until that point. I've also heard cloud servers need to be turned off.

When explaining tethering, specifics on the tethering cable and the ports that are used would be useful.

Well, that's different for every camera and computer, but I for my purposes when using the Sony a7III series cameras and Macbook Pro I use a usb-c to usb-c cable from Tether Pro, on the camera there is only one usb-c port and on the Macbook Pro you can plug it into anyone you prefer.

Awesome! Is there a way of having each pic being displayed automatically in full screen? Lets say I'm shooting in a studio and I have a 2nd screen connected. I can't figure out how to get viewer into full screen mode. I do use lightroom tho.

@PhillipSkraba 3 жыл бұрын

In Lightroom that's possible, but you can't tether with Sony just yet. In Imaging Edge, I'm afraid not, let's hope they work on it though in the next year.
