The A7RIII does not natively tether within LR so the Sony Remote App must be running. Shut down Dropbox as the Remote app does not work with it.
Place the files in the Auto Import Directory of LR and import that way.
The remote app has a link from the Viewer App which is in my App Alis folder.
Sonys menu settings can be daunting for a new user. One thing I have set up is a index of all the settings and where you can find them in the menus.

May 2019 marks the beginning of a new milestone for me. Although good photography is largely about the skills of the photographer however there are a few other issues that need to be considered:
I feel Canon has not kept up with Sony and Nikon is not even in the running for me. I was unimpressed with my 5DSR in low light and my 5d IV lacks image sharpness due to lower MP and strong anti alias filters. I use both of these cameras for Landscape / Portrait / “non action” – and so for that type of work I have switched to Sony A7RIII.
I was planning to wait for the A7 IV but Sony is really pushing the market with deep discounts of about 30% off list. This likely will therefore be a learning and backup body some day within about a year. Thats OK.
On a recent trip in Florida I was still very impressed “action” 1DX II – keeper rate of incredible 95% for birds in flight, well beyond my friends Z7. So for action photography the Canon 1DX, 500F4, 100-400 stays for now. Time will tell. I am also planning to cut down on birding trips for a while and try the A7RIII with some birds on stick work.
So it’s going to be a long journey – with a very slow transition from Canon as equipment is sold off. Lots of great stuff available if anyones interested which I will post over time.
Right now the Sony menu layout generally gets poor reviews – but I am still on the fence – their approach is just very new and thus different. If anyone wants a settings reference spreadsheet in XLS format (I did not develop it). https://1drv.ms/x/s!AiCfwkPyFRx_gQJ22fIQ8Y5XX_VO?fbclid=IwAR3YHLDsjzGZdRAfJ1zIETdjVOdUCrYjyDPpINaL4qop08_e9QZ4reUllgo
Suggested settings by the guru’s Tony Northrup and Mark Galer have been noted within the file. The real issue is how to put it all together to make a functional camera in the field.
