    You are the absolute best, this walked me through it with my A7iii on my M2 Mac perfectly! MacOS has changed slightly since you made this, but it was pretty easy to figure out with how detailed this was. Thanks again!

    Very helpful video. On the latest Mac OS, the security steps are a bit different from what is shown but I was able to find similar options, just had to find an extra dropdown menu after the press and hold reboot. It did lead me to some menus I wasn’t expecting “restore from backup” etc. might be work adding a small update for that section.

      Oh gosh, that was a bit ago. I think I had to explore the drop down menus in the upper left part of the screen to find similar options.

      One of the options at the top left will give you the security option. Select it and then all the steps will be as in the video.

    I have two M1 Macs and on BOTH Macs neither recognizes the camera? When clicking on the USB Connection on the camera it states that it's "not available". No option for "Mass storage". "This operation or setting not available as follows. (Then it says PC Remote in grey and "on" in white).
    I've completed these steps on both Macs and neither are recognizing the camera. I can see that the Mac sees the camera in the USB controller.. But the two simply will not connect? Ideas???

    I have an a7iii that is long overdue for a firmware update because I forgot to do it while my old Mac was still supported by Apple. I just upgraded to a new Mac with an M2 pro chip and I am scratching my head at the Ventura interface.

    Thanks for the info, as a black creator living in Russia 🇷🇺 I often lack folks to discuss such head arches. My Sony 6600 has been having problems to connect with obs . Could it be because I haven’t update the firmware yet?

    Thanks much for this explanation - very thorough and helpful! However, what a load of stinking crap Sony has visited on its Mac-based customers! Every other major camera manufacturer simply reads the new firmware from an SD card...not this complex nonsense caused by Sony. What could they be thinking? They need to join the 21st Century. We have decided not to pull the trigger on a new Sony A7RV because of this arcane nonsense and we're looking at other brands.

    • @DonConnorsProductions
      @DonConnorsProductions 10 місяців тому

      I did discover that both the A7RIV and A7RV have SD card-based firmware updates...baby steps for Sony! Now fix the issue with older camera bodies, please.

      She was concise and very informative without being too chatty. You need to leave your anger at the door.
