Cameras with USB-C ports are often able to power the camera and/or charge the battery of USB. While this is a convenient feature, this can sometimes cause connection issues during tethering. Therefore, we always recommend turning USB Power Delivery / Charging OFF during tethering in order to ensure the most stable connection possible.

Important Camera Settings While Tethering:

Step 1: Ensure “Sleep Mode” is turned off on your camera. The computer needs to recognize the camera at all times during a tethered shoot. If your camera goes into sleep mode, the computer may not recognize it and cause the tethered connection to drop.

Step 2: Make sure your camera battery is fully charged. If your camera battery charge is low, you may find that tethering connections drop frequently.

Step 3: Turn off the USB Power Supply in your camera’s settings. Most USB-C cables can power and tether, but it’s not recommended at the same time. See below:
