Question

Tether shooting mode not showing up in the Lightroom CC menu

Hello

I connected my Nikon D3S to my MacBook pro and the tether is not showing up in the "file" menu at all.

I have Lightroom CC 1.0 with all updates installed, Mac OS Sierra 10.13.2

Why can't I see that my camera is connected, nor a tether option ??

Thank you for your help

Gaelle

    Because Lightroom CC is a new program starting from ground 0. Tethered shooting is not an option that has been provided for ANY camera yet. It may be added in the future, but that has not been nor will it ever be announced in advance. You will have to watch Lightroom CC grow and mature and see what is added in the future. When and if your camera is added for tethered support is something that you will simply have to wait and see if it happens.

    Oh gosh.... Thank you Jim...

    would you know another way to shoot tethered ?? Not very professional looking with clients on site... brand new laptop and that damn CC is not up to our needs obviously...

    Hi Gaelle,

    Yes you would need to be running Lightroom Classic-CC (the "Desktop" version of Lightroom) or any version higher than v3 - see Jim's link above.

    I have used tethering with a Nikon D750 very successfully. Several demonstration  'Portrait' workshops with laptop screened to a projector and large screen. Also a wedding photo booth- guests took their own photo with a remote trigger and images appeared (within 5 secs) as Full-screen on a monitor.

    Regards. My System: Windows-11, Lightroom-Classic 15.1.1, Photoshop 27.3.1, ACR 18.1.1, Lightroom 9.0, Lr-iOS 10.4.0, Bridge 16.0.2 .
