How to live-upload Sony α7 IV photos to Adobe Lightroom

Connect your Sony α7 IV to your phone and every shot lands in Adobe Lightroom live as you shoot. Here's the full setup, start to finish:

  1. 1

    Connect your Sony α7 IV

    Connect over USB with the camera in PC Remote mode for a stable, high-speed tether. Or tether over Wi-Fi. Note: in PC Remote, some Sony bodies route captures to the buffer rather than the card — both work with CloudTether.

  3. 3

    Shoot as normal

    Every frame your Sony α7 IV captures is detected and downloaded at full resolution while you keep shooting — JPEG, or RAW on Pro.

  4. 4

    Photos deliver to Adobe Lightroom

    Each photo uploads from your phone once and lands in Adobe Lightroom live, seconds after the shutter — and fans out to any other destinations on the session too (Pro).
