Using the plug-in

To start using your A7 or A7R camera with Lightroom 5 you need to download a demo version or order a full version of the plug-in.

We are recommending to close Lightroom before installation.

Plug the cord into your camera and computer and start tethered session in Lightroom (File -> Tethered Capture -> Start Tethered Capture).
