Tethered Shooting with Nikon does not save on CF/SD Cards

Has Lightroom 5 now a solution for the tethered shooting with Nikon cameras where no save on the CF/SD cards takes place?
If not, will this covered in the future?

An external HDD does not help for the most common image loss during tethered shooting: Transfer problems.
When any transmission problem occurs while shooting and the images are not stored on the memory card, they will be gone. I can't tell you how many images I lost because I had some cable problem while being tethered.
Tethering without a copy on memory card is not a good idea, really. So since the feature is available (otherwise it wouldn't work in digiCamControl, they don't install a new firmware or use super secret camera drivers or anything) I can't understand why Adobe does not support it.

  • Tethered shooting with Nikon D700

    Hi all,
    I am working on a hardware/software plan to streamline my digital photography workflow. I have been doing some research
    on tethered shooting with Nikon and came across this blog post by Scott Kelby. My question is.....do I need to spend the 160.00 on
    Nikon's 'Camera Control Pro 2' software on top of the 260.00 for Adobe's 'Lightroom 2' software in order to shoot tethered into Lightroom 2?
    Can a person just shoot directly into Lightroom 2?
    Are any of you out there shooting tethered into Lightroom 2? Can you expand on the details of your workflow?
    Thanks in advance for any input.
    Best,
    Dennis

    Hi
    At this stage LR hasn't the ability to tether to a camera without additional software. this is a feature that has been asked for many times.  I do not know of any other software that comes close to the functionality of  Nikon CC Pro 2 for those on a PC. I use CC Pro 2 with LR 2.4 and a D2Xs and although it may take 5-6 seconds for an image to appear using a watched folder it is a wonderful way to shoot for specific situations such as low light panos or with clients wanting to view your work on-site.
    CC Pro 2 allows you to work unobtrusively once you are set up and is particularly good for candids or photography in a public space as people are not put off by the photographer behind the camera. I would suggest a setup like Kelby's or McNally's which uses a Manfrottos accessory arm to place your laptop next to your camera as any other method is a pain if you are moving equipment around. In low light I would close the viewfinder to ensure stray light doesn't affect the exposure.
    Regards

  • Tethered Shooting with Nikon D7000 - when?

    I was quite surprised (as, it seems, have others) to discover that tethered shooting is not yet supported with the Nikon D7000 in the latest Lightroom 3.3 release.
    Has Adobe made any statements regarding the availability of this feature?
    Does anyone know of any workarounds for the Mac, other than the ridiculously overpriced Nikon Capture?

    I keep shaking the magic 8-ball, and all that keeps coming up is:
    "Answer uncertain. Ask again later."
    Strangely non-random results, too.
    There is at least one free reverse engineered camera control wedge for Nikon cameras on OS X. It worked well enough to drop photos in a watched folder for me. It may have improved somewhat since. If I can find the link I'll pass it on, but I recall I just found it via a web search.

    A quick search led me to http://www.sofortbildapp.com/ and http://stefan.hafeneger.name/blog/category/sofortbild/

  • Lightroom 3.2 Tethered shooting with Nikon D7100

    I have a laptop Windows Vista which will not allow me to upgrade Lightroom 3.2 to 5.3. I have bought a Nikon D7100. Is it possible to
    enable the older version of LIghtroom 3.2 to recognise the Nikon D7100 for tethered shooting?
    Cheers.

    No, Lightroom 3.2 does not recognize D7100 RAW files, and cannot tether to it.

  • Nokia 3110c does not save contacts on SIM card

    Hello,
    I just bought a nokia 3110c. It apparently have the most recent uptodate software (05.50) and the update check says it is up-to-date.
    I found this strange bug:
    I create a new contact in the address book and save it into my SIM card (a 128KB sim card by Italian provider TIM).
    The contact is there.
    Now when I turn off the phone, and then I turn it on again, the last contact I inserted is gone, disappeared.
    It happens only with the LAST contact I saved, that is if I create -lets say- 3 new contacts, the first 2 will be maintained while the last one will be lost after I turn off and then on again the phone.
    It behaves the same also if I first save the contact into the phone memory and the MOVE it into the SIM card memory.
    Have you verified this same bug?
    Thank you

    negative, it happens WHATEVER method you use to add the new contact

  • Tethered shooting with live view?

    Tethered shooting with Nikon - does the actual Lightroom version support LiveView or do I need additional  extern Software like Nikon Camera Control?

    Live view via Lightroom is not currently available.

  • My version of LR-5.7 (OS X 10.8.5) apparently does not save the .NEF (Nikon RAW) edits done in the basic module.

    My version of LR-5.7 (OS X 10.8.5) apparently does not save the .NEF (Nikon RAW) edits done in the basic module. That means that I can correct exposure, highlights, shadows etc. but once I go to another picture and returned to the edited one the histogram (on the edited photo) and specifically the clipping triangles are white or some other color. This is normally suppose to indicate that some channel or all channels are clipped in the highlight/shadow areas. If I adjust any slider in the Basic panel even as little as one +/- value or press the J-key, the histogram will now show the original edit. Moving on to another photo and then returning to to previously edited one and again the edits are "not saved" and I have to hit the J-key or adjust a slider to see the previously edited information reflected in the histogram.
    This is especially frustrating for fours reasons. If I have edited a shoot and return to it I cannot see from the clipping information whether the original edit was correct and of course I might re-edit it (to some now incorrect value). This brings up the second issue synchronization. I can't rely on it because if I go back to fine tune a specific image in the batch the triangles are white or some other color for that and every image. I have to hit the J-key to show/hide clipping or the back slash key to see before/after previews. This is the third issue which is very time consuming and inefficient regarding my workflow. The forth issue is that I have noticed that normally when an image is saved in PS, LR adds a copy of the saved version to its catalogue. I have noticed that the PS to LR saves are all wrong in terms of exposure (they are much lighter in tone) than the original LR edit and the PS edit on my screen. If I check the PS to LR photo in LR I notice that the Basic panel values have been changed and that I have to sync the image with the originally edited RAW/NEF LR file to get it to look the same.
    Note 1). I am using an Apple cinema display and a calibrated Eizo ColorEdge monitor to view my NEF files. I have reverted back to using LR 4 however I am not sure if I should expect compatibility problems with Camera Raw 7.4 in LR 4 vs. Camera Raw 8.6 in LR 5.
    Note 2.) I am going to do an import converting everything to .dng  to see if this is a work around.
    Note 3). I would be interested in knowing if this issue is related to the PS RAW engine ver. 8.6, the Adobe created NEF calibrations or LR 5.
    Note 4). I have duplicated this issue in OS X 10.8.5, OS X 9.xx and OS X 10.10.1
    Hopefully someone else has noticed this problem. Any shared information would be valuable. Thanks for the reply.

    Happy New Year!
    The Develop panel Tone settings in your Dec 31 screenshot show both the Highlights and Shadows controls set to negative values (-48 and -19). For most images (such as this model shot) they should be set to opposite values (-Highlights and +Shadows). To try and duplicate your issue I used negative values for both of these controls with a similar high contrast image. I noticed that the Shadows control becomes non-linear when both the Highlights and Shadows controls are set to negative values. As I moved the Shadows control from a positive value the Shadows clipping indicator comes ON as expected. Moving the Shadows control to a value caused the clipping indicator to turn OFF and moving it further negative caused it to turn back ON again.
    The following screenshots demonstrate the issue with only Highlights & Shadows controls applied as shown.
    The Highlights & Shadows controls set just to the threshold of extinguishing the clipping indicators.
    Moving the Shadows control toward negative causes the Shadow clipping indicator to come ON (as expected), but at-13 it goes OFF again!
    Moving the Shadows control further negative causes the Shadows clipping indicator to come back ON at -33.
    This is probably normal behavior for the PV2012 Image Adaptive Tone controls as they were not designed to be used way (- - or ++ Highlights & Shadows). The PV2012 Tone controls all interact with each other, which is why it is suggested to adjust them from the Top down starting with Exposure. For most images using -Highlights and +Shadows of near equal value produces good results.
    I still can't duplicate the change in clipping indicators after selecting another image, so it may be unique to certain camera models and/or lighting conditions.
    SUGGESTION
    Try one of the image files that exhibits this issue using the following PV2102 Tone control adjustment procedure:
    Start with all of the Tone controls at their default 0 settings and adjust them from the top-down in the order shown below.
    Set Exposure to correct midtone brightness ignoring the highlight and shadow areas for now. Setting Exposure slightly higher (+.25 to +.50 EV) than what looks correct for the midtones seems to work best with most images.
    Leave Contrast at 0 for now. It’s usually better to adjust this after the first pass.
    Adjust Highlights so that blown out areas are recovered and “fine tonal detail” is revealed.
    Adjust Shadows to reveal fine detail in dark areas. For most normal images simply setting +Shadows = -Highlights (Example +50 and -50) works very well.
    The Whites control sets the white clipping point, which you can see by holding down the ALT key as you move the slider. Adjust it to the point where you see clipping appear with the ALT key.
    The Blacks control sets the black clipping point, which you can see by holding down the ALT key as you move the slider. Adjust it to the point where you see clipping appear with the ALT key.
    Now go back and adjust the Contrast control to establish the best midtone contrast
    If necessary “touch-up” the controls using the same top-down workflow.
    If the issue persists I suggest Exporting an image to DNG file format with the settings that exhibit the issue and post it to Dropbox or other file download site.

  • Can a iPad be setup for tethered shooting with a Nikon dslr

    Can a iPad be setup for tethered shooting with a Nikon Camera

    Not as a standalone solution if you want stuff like live view and all the camera controls on the iPad. If it's just for transferring photos to the iPad for immediate viewing after shooting the Shuttersnitch app comes to mind. Shuttersnitch however requires a WiFi connection that most Nikons don't happen to have. Nikon's wireless dongles for the consumer range of cameras are also somewhat awkward to use whereas the wireless/Ethernet units for the pro range happen to be very expensive. WiFi SD-cards are also a possibility for retrofitting WiFi but they tend to be unreliable, slow and their setup is quite often finicky.
    Another solution would be tethering the camera to a laptop (Win or Mac) through USB and connecting the iPad as a secondary wireless tethering device to the computer. There are programs for Mac and Windows incorporating this feature. I once set this up for a friend who does a lot of studio work but it ended up that he just uses the USB-connected laptop almost exclusively. And unless one would be out for a timelapse shooting already carrying tons of gear not a solution for shooting in the field.
    Last not least but also not exactly inexpensive is the Camranger remote control for Nikon and Canon DSLRs. It connects to the camera through USB and has its own server and WiFi built in which allows to connect to iOS, Android, Mac and Windows (apps for all available by Camranger themselves). Probably the most flexible and comfortable solution especially when considering that it can be used for multiple cameras and will mot likely also work with future cameras. More information can be found at http://www.camranger.com (I'm in no way affiliated with them and personally don't own a Camranger remote so I would advise some more web research on user experiences).

  • Javascript not working with 'Display as Text (does not saves state)'

    Hi,
    We have these following items in P3 of our application,
    P3_EDIT_ACCOUNT Display as Text (saves state)
    P3_USEFUL_LINKS Display as Text (saves state)
    P3_LAST_APPROVED Display as Text (saves state)
    P3_ARCHIVES Display as Text (saves state)
    And we are initializing these items in a pl/sql process under 'Page Rendering'
    For example,
    :P3_ARCHIVES := '<font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="-1">Archives</font></a><td> ';
    When our environment was upgraded from HTMLDB1.5 to HTMLDB2.0,
    instead of displaying the proper value of :P3_ARCHIVES,
    it was displaying the tags,
    i.e. instead of displaying 'Archives', it was displaying the whole
    '<font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="-1">Archives</font></a><td> '
    So, when we changed all items to 'Display as Text (does not saves state)' and it was working.
    But then we have another problem,
    We render the rest of the same page with another pl/sql block,
    Here is a portion from that pl/sql for your reference,
    htp.p('
    <script>
    //Script to check the status change.
    //The script source is rendered through PL/SQL.
    function checkStatus()
    var promptStr = someString;
    if(ans.toUpperCase() == "AMBER" || ans.toUpperCase() == "RED")
              var cnfm = confirm(promptStr);
              if(cnfm)
              do something....
    </script>
    htp.print('
    <td width="5%" bgcolor="#ebebc5" height="19" align="middle" >
    <input TYPE="radio" name="'||l_g_fnumber||'" value="GREEN"');
    IF l_allow_update THEN
         htp.print(' onClick="checkStatus()"');
    ELSE
    htp.print(' disabled onmousedown="return false;"');
                        do something....
    Now the issue is , when we changed all items to 'Display as Text (does not saves state)', the checkStatus() function is not getting called in the onClick
    event of the radio button and hence the confirm window for the call to
    confirm(promptStr) is not coming up.
    But if we revert back the items to 'Display as Text (saves state)',
    the checkStatus() javascript function is getting called properly but html tags are displayed against the items instead of the proper value (as mentioned in ********)
    Please do let us know a possible solution to this issue.
    Thanks & Regards-
    Rupak

    Thanks Varad for your response.
    This is the error i am getting.
    1 error has occurred
    PLSQL anonymous block source type can be used ONLY with Display Text (based on PLSQL) item type.
    yes i am using in the source..
    I also tried with the PL/SQL Expression of FUNCTION in this case it is executing the query but once i run the page ora- 06550 error occured.

  • Tethered shooting with Olympus

    Is it possible to use Lightroom for tethered shooting with Olympus E series (particularly E-600)?  If not, is it in the future plans to include support for Olympus cameras?
    alinoh

    http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/tethered-camera-support-lightroom-4.html
    The above link will indicate the extent of tether support in LR 5.3. You will note that basic you will see that only a limited number of Canon and Nikon camera models and three Leica models are presently supported. This is a user to user forum so the people who will likely reply to your question are users like yourself. Those who know will most likely be restricted from making a comment due a non disclosure agreement. Adobe does not usually comment on what new features or camera models will be supported.
    I am a user of Lightroom since the initial version and I have two Olympus and one Panasonic camera and doubt that it will happen in the near future. 

  • TS3274 Camera does not save photos to picture roll

    I snap pictures and shoot video but it does not save to "Photos" camera roll.  This is a newly restored IPAD since I broke the screen on my old one.  Everything worked as expected on old one. I have everything "on" under privacy.

    If you are sure that all privacy settings are correct including anything in Photos in restrictions, did you try quitting the camera app and rebooting the iPad?
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
