For your Nikon DSLR to work with the DIYPhotoBits.com Camera Control script it needs to be in PTP mode, not in USB mass storage mode.
- D700 : Only supports PTP mode so nothing to change
- D300: Setup Menu / USB / MTP/PTP
- D90 : Not necessary as D90 is always in PTP mode, it doesn’t support USB mass storage mode
Here is a video I made that shows you how to do it.

How do I do this with a D90?

Joel, it turns out that the D90 only has one mode – and it is the right one, so there is no need to change anything on the camera.

Does a D100 have PTP mode?
Is it compatiable?
thanks a million!

Ok so I did this but my computer won’t recognize my D300 when I plug it in with USB! I downloaded Capture NX thinking it would install some needed driver but no luck! Any ideas? Looks like cool Software! Thanks for sharing

move sd card to unlock and it works
11 raymond // Nov 3, 2009 at 2:49 am
Yep, when you take pictures they are stored on the card and *optionally* downloaded to the PC. The store-on-card is mandatory in my script as I like the idea of there always being a backup.

For the D300s there seems to be no PTP mode and it isnt detected. Any advice?

I was going to try this software, using a cannon digital Ixus 750… Any chance it will work? Thanks

Does a NIKON D60 have PTP mode?

thanks a million!

tomkhanh, all models from D200 have PTP mode. Some of the recent models like D90 *only* have PTP mode (so there is nothing to select, it just is). I don’t know specifically for the D60.

does this work with the d60?
18 raymond // Mar 31, 2010 at 12:45 am
Duncan, I expect so. Why don’t you try it and let us know?
19 Dreama // May 24, 2010 at 5:36 pm
Great software! This is exactly what I was looking for. To answer some previous questions, it is working with my D60 but had to unlock the SD card first.

I am also interested in a way to do this with a Nikon D300s. I was hoping to use Sofortbild on my MacBook Pro to show clients what the pics look like as I’m taking them without them having to leave the shooting area.

I’ve been trying to set up my new Nikon D300S to talk with the WT-4 wireless transmitter. However, when I go to set it up I can’t get past the “switch your USB option to MTP/PTP”
Does anyone know how to get around this?
22 Oz John // Aug 2, 2010 at 4:02 pm
Yes, I have the same problem with my D300s; I couldn’t figure out how to switch over PTP mode.

Yes, I have the same problem with my D300s connected over USB cable; I couldn’t figure out how to switch over PTP mode.
24 Nikki // Aug 27, 2010 at 10:49 am
I have a Nikon D60, and I don’t have a USB-menu at the setup menu.. Does it mean I can’t switch it to PTP mode?
25 Jo // Sep 2, 2010 at 8:14 pm
D90 nix funktionieren. Warum? Ich Kamera an und stöpsel USB rein in Reschner. Rechner sagt “bupp” , Kamera nix detected in Camera Control Programme…
