As title say i would love to se any kind of devolopment in tethering capturing.I will not write what can be improved as i think from the competitors and recent market is obiusly that we need some chages in this part of program.Wish to see some changes in 2018
THANK YOU for looking into it. I’m not sure which update segmented canon versus Nikon users but I just noticed that it it is available for Nikon cameras however Im Canon shooter.
When you look at the tether bar, you can click on the Segment Name and it will open the dialog. We are looking at restoring the shortcuts in the future. Right now, they are tied to the previous tether bar (for Nikon and Other)
Rikk, you are a saint!!!!! Thank you for your fast response! I never would have figured that out. I like to hide that bar, but Im happy its workable now. Brad
This seems to be a major talking / sticking point with the guys over at B&H and Adorama. They've all jumped ship to Capture One for tethering (but many still use Lightroom for organizing / editing), and between the daily classes, vlog instructional videos, and other things they shoot at a very high rate, they use tethering heavier than most professionals would, and would know the pitfalls intimately. Might be good to tap them ... guys like Daniel Norton and Seth Miranda, for feedback.
I hope I'm in the right place.... I would like to participate in the tether prerelease for Nikon and Mac. I have a Nikon D800 (yes, I'm saving for a D850) and iMac running OSX 10.13.6.
I replied directly to Rikk Flohr's post, but have not received an invitation yet(though it is the holiday season). Has anyone been invited to the Nikon LV tethering prerelease?
I would like to help with tether testing! I have a D600 and Z7. I use a MacBook Pro 2012 (MacBookPro9,1) My Z7 does connect on the USB 3.0 Bus My Z7 NEF support and camera raw support is fine. Thanks for offering to let our studio help!
Hello Rikk, I'd love to participate in the Tethering prerelease for Mac, but another forum suggested to reply here if we were Nikon users... I only see you mention Canon above. I shoot with a D810 and D300 and had to resort to Capture One Pro for now. Live viewing, focusing and adjusting (in particular for any overhead/c-clamp/rig mount, where you might have to stand on a stool, ladder or just be bending over stressing your lower back, even a half day shoot of overhead food photography gives me 3 days of back pain after... adjusting from my desktop/laptop or even iPad screen would be huge (and is, but with Capture One Pro... messes with my whole work flow though after years of Lightroom Catalogues).
YYYESSS! (Adobe user since 1992) Hello Rikk, I shoot with a D810 and a D300 and had to resort to Capture One Pro for Live tethered (pre)viewing, focusing and adjusting (in particular for any overhead/c-clamp/rig mount, where you might have to stand on a stool, ladder or just be bending over stressing your lower back, even a half day shoot of overhead food photography gives me 3 days of back pain after... adjusting from my desktop/laptop or even iPad screen would be huge (and is, but with Capture One Pro... messes with my whole work flow though after years of Lightroom Catalogues).
I have many of the same concerns as the previous posters regarding tethered shooting with LR - although I will happily report that the program seems to be much more stable recently. Less dropped connections.
However, I'd like to add one of my main frustrations with LR when shooting tethered while using a Nikon (I use the D850) is the INABILITY TO SHOOT DIRECTLY TO BOTH THE COMPUTER AND THE MEMORY CARD. Sorry for yelling...but really?
In defense of Adobe LR, I did read somewhere that it is Nikon's fault that the files cannot be saved to the card when shooting tethered - something to do with their SDK . But, I've read that LR allows files to be saved to the card with Canon. What's the deal? I'm not aware of whether or not Capture One allows Nikon files to be saved to a memory card while shooting tethered.
Also, a live view mode would be very useful when the camera's viewfinder is not easily accessed - a scenario that often happens when shooting down on objects in product/museum photography.
UPDATE, just heard from a fellow photographer friend that Capture One also has the same limitation for capturing Nikon images - can only be saved to computer but cannot be saved to camera's memory card. However, like LR, Capture One allows Canon to be saved to card as well as computer. Go figure! I guess it would make sense to contact Nikon to let them know this is a frustration for some photographers who shoot tethered.
would be interested in helping to test tethering a Nikon Z 6 camera to lightroom classic CC. using a mid-2012 retina macbook pro & macOS high sierra (10.13.6)
I did an extensive shoot with the final Beta release last Friday on my Nikon Z6. Shot about 1,100 exposures using wired tethering and it worked nearly flawlessly! I did have to restart tethering once or twice when I disconnected the camera do to a scene change but no failures during tethering and transferring was pretty speedy. So, yes, a big improvement. One thing that has NOT been fixed is color in the web module, it remains Un-color aware, I would like to see that fixed.
