Luckily for us, the two applications can easily be used together for the best of both worlds. It does however, lack the robust cataloging system that is present in Adobe Lightroom.

So while remote camera control with Sony wasn’t impossible before, it wasn’t particularly straightforward either. Lightroom would only be able to work as the viewer and editor for the photos, while the Sony app would act as the controller and send those files to a predetermined folder on your computer. To this point, the process has been protracted and uses two applications: a combination of the Sony Imaging Edge application and Adobe Lightroom. The biggest takeaway here is the ability to properly tether Sony cameras inside of Lightroom. Smart Shooter 4 PRO costs $195.95 and has the functions from the base version but offers the multi-camera control functionality, barcode and QR code scanning, external API integration, and custom scripting. Smart Shooter 4, which costs $69.95, can be used with one camera and offers tethered shooting, remote control, live view, and prepackaged scripts.

Smart Shooter comes in two versions, both for a single user, and can be purchased from Tether Tools’ website.
