I watched a video podcast about how to use Adobe’s Lightroom 2 to shoot tethered and that works just great with your software since LR2 can watch any folder for photo import. The podcast is free on iTunes for those of you that have an iPod.

Have you watched the tutorial video? It’s a little outdated but the basics are the same.

I have downloaded this and I seem to be doing something wrong. When I hook my D 300 to laptop and turn it on what am I supposed to do next. n I press the shutter and then where am I supposed to find the file? I’m new to all of this so is there some place I can go to to get complete instructions as to how to use this program. Thanks.

Since my post on DCamCapture i’ve since switched software to one with a little more functionality, the software i’m now using is called DIYPhotobits.com Camera Control 4.0. [...]

I have the “Start Tether” button depressed for sure, since that is required when I use the Nikon wireless remote as well. Just doesn’t send the photo to the software. But as I said, the software allows me to control the aperture just fine and using the external viewer FastStone to monitor the folder allows me to zoom in on the image, etc. Yes I’m running Vista. I’ll try your latest 4.1 version next chance that I get. But it’s quite usable for me as it is. Thanks again.

Ed, glad it’s helping you. But you said it won’t download if you fire from the software? Do you have the “Start Tether” button depressed when you press the “Shutter Release” button? Maybe it’s a timing issue if you do. Please check out the new version 4.1 which improves on this part (slightly). Exposure comp not working means you are using Vista right? In Vista they changed the way that works and I don’t have Vista to try myself so can’t fix it.

Just got a Nikkor Macro lens and set up a test studio area for taking 1:1 shots of various items. Used this software to see the shots. I send all photos to a folder called “tethered shots” and use FastStone Image Viewer to look at the files as they load from the camera. Shooting in Aperture priorty mode, controlling aperture from the software just fine. Using Nikon wireless shutter release since the software will fire the Nikon 60 shutter but then doesn’t send the file. No biggie. I cannot adjust exposure +/- with the software either. But doing macro work tethered is really nice. Again, thanks for the software.

Type of connection cable shouldn’t be the problem, it is whether it is recognised as a camera by Windows that is what matters.

Raymond,

Just a quick note to highlight another user who could benefit from Camera Capture but is running Vista:
