Capture One 23 only saving jpg files
Hi everyone. New to Capture One 23 coming from Lightroom.
I'm shooting Sony a7iv tethered. My camera is set to RAW, and in the camera settings on Capture One 23, it shows the camera as set to RAW. But when I take a photo, it previews as a .jpg and it saves the photo as a .jpg on my external drive that I have targeted for saving. I've got to be missing something because I've seen videos where someone takes a tethered photo and they get the RAW image to preview and save.
How can I get Capture One 23 to show and save my RAW images? BTW, I do have the camera set to capture both on the computer and to my card. On the card, the photos are saved as RAW. But what's the point of using Capture One if I can't get it to save the RAW files?
Help please!!! Thank you!

I think that's under the Network → Transfer/Remote → PC Remote Function
I think you need to set the Still Img. Save Dest. to PC+Camera
Set the RAW +J PC Save Img. to RAW & JPEG or RAW Only
The RAW options are only available if File Format is set to RAW & JPEG or RAW & HEIF
File Format is found in Shooting → Image Quality → Image Quality Settings → File Format

Thanks LVS. I checked everything you suggested, and all of my settings match. Tried C1 again today, but it didn’t change.
I noticed in the naming area on tether it shows the name with the .jpg format. I don’t have any way to change it to .awr
If I can’t tether Raw direct into C1 and my external hard drive, then what’s the point. I would have to import RAW from my camera card which defeats the purpose.
FYI, I submitted an email to C1 support but still waiting for a response

Was there any response from C1? I'm having the same issue. I think it started after I updated Sony's firmware on my A7IV.

For ppl who have this issue:
I think it happened also after I updated to v2.00 on my a7IV.
Here's how I fixed it:
Connect via USB remote shooting, go to settings > Network > (1) cnct./ PC Remote > Remote Shoot Setting > Save Image Size and change from 2MP to Original (how dumb was sony for not set Original by default?)
Also you should change the save destination from Destination + Camera to just Destination so your card is not polluted when duplicates.
Cheers!

Same issue after updating firmware on Sony A7RV to 2.0
NETWORK - Remote Shoot Setting - Save Image Size - Original
So stupid that it changes it after to update

That setting fixed it for me too, but I find that with a Sony A7iv (33MP), it takes 3 seconds for the image to show up in C1 if I have it set to RAW Lossless (small). Lossless (large) takes about 6 seconds. I didn't try uncompressed, but I imagine that would take even longer.
I was hoping that if I set it to RAW+JPEG, that it would transfer the JPEG first and show that as a preview while it downloaded the RAW in the background. Sadly, that just makes it take longer to get anything.
I'm currently evaluating if I want to upgrade to the 2023 version to gain this wireless tethering feature. I currently have the 2020 version which works fine but doesn't support wireless on this camera, but I don't know if it's worth the upgrade.
If I leave Save Image Size at 2MP, it's nice and snappy and I can use that to show my models their photos, but as a way of transferring the images directly to my laptop it just isn't fast enough.

Romain, you are the man! I've been trying to solve this for days. I have a shoot coming up and C! support is freaking slow. You saved my bacon. THANK YOU!

Good find. The issue was Sony's firmware update and not Capture One.
