When I first attached my new A7R to my new MacBook it would not connect at all. I then tried it on my older iMac and the Live View set to USB PC Remote worked. After several contacts with Apple, Sony and Phase One (Capture One), I installed new A7R firmware and Remote Camera Control software. I finally got it to work on the Macbook BUT no Live View, just tether. I then tried it again on the iMac and it no longer worked???

 

Only after several hours of trial and error what I ended up with is that I can tether the A7R in Capture One but no Live View - its not supported for this.

 

I got this camera specifically to shoot tethered and have Live View in Capture One. So after spending a lot on hardware and software all I got was tether. I already had that with Lightroom for Hasselblad but Sony is not supported by Adobe.

 

All this proprietary stuff is complete nonsense and a waste of time. Welcome to the 21st century - Not!

 

Very disappointed with Sony, Phase One and Lightroom.

 

I really regret having made these investments.

I have the same issue. I didn't buy the camera specifically for live view (or native for that matter) tethering, but would really love to have this (live view) available as an option. Is the lack of live view in tethering mode a hardware or a firmware issue? All of the other cameras in this series have it...

 

Best,

Jerry
