Googled “Tethered Nikon”, and found this site.

WAY COOL! Thanks for the tool! Connected my camera, and using Adobe Lightroom, wow, really nice. It was driving me crazy to pull my SD card and then plug it into my PC to truly get a good perspective on my shots. I did not really want to spend an additional $70 USD to connect my camera. The only problem I face now, I have to engineer a good hookup for my other tripod and put my notebook on it!

@FD, I doubt it. Why don’t you try and let us know. It’s free!

@Neil, I appreciate your support!

@Paul, sadly I can’t work out how to do that. Something about the camera insisting on finishing writing the image to card before it will tell the PC it is ready for the next shot.

Does this work on the Coolpix line i.e. the Coolpix 4500?

A huge thank you, app works perfectly with D300s, Windows Vista, since I got the camera I can’t afford to spend out on Nikon’s expensive software. If you were local I’d buy you a pint!
Completely agree with Eoin’s PS
Thanks

Thanks for making this available. It’s working great for me using a D40x tethered to my laptop running XP.

I notice that if I fire the camera using multiple presses of the shutter release button in the software, the maximum rate I can get it to fire at is about a frame a second (estimated), rather than the 3fps the d40x is capable of. Is there any way to get the software to fire the camera any faster? I can certainly fire faster (but not 3fps) using the Nikon infra-red remote, so am wondering why this is slower?

As I’m trying to shoot moving objects with the camera located remotely on a pole, its fantastic to be able to set up the composition remotely. However, it’s very difficult to judge when to fire the shutter as the object passes through the frame, so being able to shoot continuously as fast as possible for a few seconds would give me the best chance of nailing the optimum composition. Just wondering if there’s any trick to being able to do this?

Thanks.

Thanks eoin, glad it works for you. And thanks also for the PS in my support. It is hard not to be disheartened by the negative comments.

Thanks Buddy!!!!!!

Never thought I could get this to work, was trying Nikon CCP2 but to no avail,

Got a XP64 bit system PC so thought I might be like a lepper to most software manufacturers

Thanks for the wonderful app, have mentioned you on my blog here: http://goughphoto.wordpress.com/

Have a great day, you’ve just made mine

Thanks again

Andy

Have downloaded v 4 for my d300. Can remotely operate shutter but can’t get images to preview anywhere. I am using elements 5 so is that problem? Have set the watched folder to C:\programs\tethered in elements but nothing appears.
Any thoughts welcomed.
