Great piece of software many thanks.

I don’t know if it has been posted before but something I found that was driving me nuts:

When plugging the camera remember to change the USB setting in the camera from mass storage to ptp otherwise camera control will not detect the camera.

Thanks

D50 seems to be a model often with problem connecting, do try installing the Nikon drivers (e.g. CD that came with your camera) if it still won’t connect in PTP mode.

Ok so i have found the answer. It is a setting in the camera. Look for USB and set it to PTP (Picture transport protocol. Not sure that it is working yet, but it is finding the camera now at least.

Just found your program it looks perfect for me. Trying to use it with a D50, but when i start it says that the camera has not been found and that windows should recognise it as a camera and not a drive. How do you do this? Windows XP recognises it only as a drive at the moment.

Your help would be greatly appreciated.

I just found this from a link in the Amateur Photographer forum website – it looks like a great tool.

Just a quickie to bingo7 and if you plan to update the tool for HDR…. for HDR you need to use THE SAME APERTURE for all shots! This keeps the depth of field the same in each one so the images can be blended; you must bracket using variable shutter speed alone.

There is a bug if there is a space in the folder name. I’ll have to fix that.
