Steve, if you could let me know the details (e.g. line number) of the script error message and if you are using CC 1 or CC 2 that would help me to add it to my long list of bugs to fix!

Oddly enough all the remote controls seem to work. The camera was in Manual when I connected it. I was able to change the exposure settings and activate the shutter from the computer. When the program starts a dialogue box pops up and says the device isn’t capible of taking new pictures. When the shutter is tripped a progress box opens briefly and then a script error is thrown. I’ll reinstall as suggested.

@Steve, sorry about that — it seems to be lucky draw at the moment though some folks have success after reinstalling. I’ll have to do a new version that lets you to tethered even if remote control isn’t supported on your camera.

@jono, that’s great if a bit mysterious!

@Carl, thanks for letting me know. Strange that reinstall also helped you out.

@Eddie, that’s very kind of you to say and I’m glad it works for you! The problems you note I do know about and have to fix.

@Lloyd, RAW viewing isn’t really on my todo list because it would probably mean me having to bring in a lot more code. And everybody who shoots RAW has some kind of viewer already I suppose. As far as pushing other apps; I think it should be possible to push anything that takes keypresses. I’ll check it out with Windows RAW viewer and see if I can make that work. That’s for your kind words.

Hi,

Thanks for this software. Had a few error messages - then reinstalled, now it works great with D50 and Nikon Viewer.

I hoped I’d be one of the lucky ones. I had to tinker with Vista just to install the program and it says my D200 isn’t capible of taking new pictures. Wish there was a solution to this.

Great program. A couple questions: will it ever support RAW previews, or is this the same issue as Windows Explorer filmstrip mode? And what external applications will it push? It moves the selection in Windows Explorer, but there is no preview only thumbnail. Doesn’t seem to push RAW Viewer. Any other options besides CSx and Bridge?

Very impressive work so far, thanks.

Downloaded this last night, used it to take some pictures for a school dance that was tonight with my D40. Really nice setup when matched with Lightroom, very smooth with only a few hiccups. The only thing I didn’t care for was how it didn’t memorize my settings when I had to restart the program after disconnecting my camera. Otherwise, this beats the hell out of Camera Control Pro!
