A7RIII stopped tethering
« on: June 26, 2018, 05:25:40 pm »

Hi:  So yesterday, I was bragging to my spouse about how extremely reliable my A7RIII is when tethering to C1Pro 11.   BIG MISTAKE :(  Since my acquiring the system in late 12-2017, I've NEVER had a tether fail, until today.  Architectural shoot, last image of the assignment.  Camera just stopped tethering.  Running the latest A7RIII software update. Restarted my Mac twice, C1Pro 11, twice. A few times, the LCD said "Connecting" but it never did. Using my tether tools USB-C cable; even tried my older tether tools USB-3 to Mini cable.  My A7III DOES tether immediately using the same gear so it's not the software, cables, or MacBook Pro.   Reminded me of my old Lightroom days; Yuch!   I also experimented enabling the camera as a hard drive to offload a few test files to my Mac.  Nothing, no acknowledgement that the camera was connected to anything. Any thoughts?

Hello:  Update... received a reply on another forum to simply take the battery out, put the battery back in, camera works fine!  Will need to remember that for future conflicts.
