Canon 6D tethered capture support in LR 4.3

Hi all,
I downloaded and installed LR 4.3 update to my Mac running OS X 10.8.2. I have no problem importing the RAWs from my Canon 6D by plugging in the SD card into the SD card slot in my MacBook Pro.
However it appears that when I try to start tethered capture in LR, my camera keeps saying that it's "BUSY" and won't work at all.
I was just wondering does this mean that tethered capture for Canon 6D is not supported in LR 4.3?
Thanks.

The tether support is different to the raw support and will likely be provided later down the road. Requires a SDK issued by the camera manufacturer. There are many threads in the forum concerning this issue and you can do a search for more details.

  • Canon 60D - Tethered capture. Does it work?

    The heading says it all. Has anyone had any luch using tethered
    capture with a 60D?  I can't make it work. :-(

    Yes, tried 3.3 beta. No luck. Oh well.
    Its just that when tethered support was originally announced, my Canon at the time (40D) was not officially supported but yet it worked. I was hoping for the same thing with the 60D but looks like it is not to be.

  • LR3 Tethered Capture Support for Nikon D60 and D80

    I was very excited when I heard that LR3 had finally added tethered capture. So I sat down today to cover the LR tutorial at http://www.photoshopuser.com/lightroom3/. As I watched, I set up my Nikon on my tripod with flash, just beaming with anticipation. I connected to my computer via the USB cable and opened tethered capture in LR3. The 'heads up display' opened as advertised, but it showed 'No Camera Detected'. So, after visiting several forums and Adobe Help, I found that my Nikon D80 was not supported for tethered capture.
    Dang!
    Does anyone know if Adobe is going to add support for the D80, as well as the D60?
    Thanks.

    does Adobe plan on adding it as a compatible camera anytime soon?
    Doubtless Adobe knows, but this is a user to user forum, so I wouldn't hold your breath for anything formal from Adobe here except "eventually". Maybe.

  • Tethered Capture Support

    I was hoping for tethered support for my D200, any chance Adobe is at least thinking of adding this?  I love my D200 and I love lightroom, but to add a piece of "middleware" to get this to work really sucks!

    Hi Freddy,
    Unfortunately, the D200 modules provided by Nikon have not been stable enough in the latest OSes for us to use. Nikon has not updated them in a very long time.

  • [Consolidation-Locked] D4 & D800 Tethered Capture

    Anyone have any idea if or when tethered capture support for the Nikon D800 & D4 will be added to LR 4?
    Message title was edited by: Brett N

    This is a user forum.  None of us know any more about what or when anything will be supported than you do.  Adobe does not make such announcements, probably to avoid disappointment if there are delays.  Until the support you are looking for is there, just accept the fact that it isn't there.  I know, it isn't fair, Adobe should tell, why cant Adobe, etc., etc..  It has been said before, and it will be said again.  But it won't do any good.

  • When tethered to LR3 will a Canon 30D also capture to the CF card ?*

    The question is in the header

    There are options in the EOS Utility Preferences for 'Save also on the camera's memory card'  and 'Auto Power Off' disable to prevent losing your camera's USB connection. These only work when the EOS Utility is doing the tethered image capture. My Canon 600D isn't supported yet in LR for tethering, so don't feel so bad. I just tried a procedure at the below link using LR's 'Auto Import' function. It works well once you have everything setup properly.
    http://evankafka.com/sensorsensibility/tethered-capture/
    Scroll down to the section titled 'How to shoot with EOS Utility and LR' for details. The nice part about this is you have the option to review and set most of your camera's controls onscreen. You can also use 'Live Preview' mode available on the newer DSLRs like the Canon 600D. It would be nice if Adobe could incorporate live view and at least some camera controls for the Canon and Nikon DSLRs already supported for tethered capture. For now this procedure is a viable solution.

  • Tethered Capture Canon 600D/T3i and L/R 4

    Hi, I asked the question back on the 11th March 2012 without a reply!! and ask it again now "Why is it still not possible to use the tethered capture option with a Canon T3i/600D"?
    I note that the
    Canon EOS 5D Mark III — introduced with release candidate 1 (March 29, 2012)
    Canon EOS 60Da
    are both included now but for the consumer who cannot afford 5D Mk IIIs Adobe have left them at the starting line.
    There must be thousands of 600D/T3i owners who have also purchased Lightroom 4 and feel a little frustrated.
    Yes, I no you can use the Canon software to access tethered capture but I own L/R 4 and would as a customer of Adobe prefer to use this option in L/R.
    The camera has been on the market for some time so there really is no excuse not to have this option available.
    Thank You
    Russ

    Because it hasn't been implemented.

    The 5DIII is NOT supported by the tethering module yet:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/tethered-camera-support-lightroom-4.html
    I suspect the 60Da is (even though it isn't on the list) because it's just a 60D with a different IR filter and some different software.  It might not be, however, due to the different software.
    There must be thousands of 600D/T3i owners who have also purchased Lightroom 4 and feel a little frustrated.
    I suspect very few owners of the Rebel series are desperately in need of tethered capture.
    Yes, I no you can use the Canon software to access tethered capture but I own L/R 4 and would as a customer of Adobe prefer to use this option in L/R.
    Frankly, I'd rather use the Canon software than Lightroom even if it were supported within LR.  LR doesn't allow you control over any camera functions and it doesn't allow you to use LiveView.  It's just a remote shutter release with auto-import.

  • Tethered Capture issue, LR 5 and Canon 7D Mk II

    When I connect the camera and start TC I get the connect message and then a no camera detected, flashing back and forth about once a second -- regularly.  LR/ACR is up to date and reads and downloads the files fine.  Same thing on 2 computers.  Wonder if I have a bad connection in the camera.  Wiggling the connector doesn't make any difference.  And it hasn't been abused.
    Anyone else seen this?

    Tethered camera support in Lightroom
    The above link will provide details of the present camera models that are supported for tethered capture.
    The Canon 7D Mk 11 is not yet supported. Canon need to provide the appropriate documentation to enable Adobe to finalize the support.

  • LR 4 won't connect to Canon 1D x for tethered capture

    It looks as though LR4 won't recognize the new Canon 1D x for tethered shooting. does anyone know of a work around for this? does anyone know when this feature will be added to LR4?

    You can check here periodically:

    Adobe doesn’t pre-announce support for things, and the standard answer is that they are still waiting for Canon to release their software-development-kit that supports the newer Canon cameras, so Adobe can use it to attach to them.  As you can see the 1Dx shows no SDK in the Drivers and Software area:
    http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/professional/products/professional_cameras/digital_slr_camer as/eos_1d_x#DriversAndSoftware
    while something like the older 5D Mark II does list an SDK being available:
    http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/professional/products/professional_cameras/digital_slr_camer as/eos_5d_mark_ii#DriversAndSoftware
    Canon seems to have last released an SDK in April 2011, so any cameras newer than that aren’t supported for image capture unless they are very similar to ones that are supported and might work.  The 1Dx is fairly new so wouldn’t be supported by Canon and therefore no Adobe, either, yet.
    Nikon has already released their SDK for the new Nikon D800 and Capture One supports it, already, but Adobe still doesn’t so it won’t necessarily be released immediately even when Canon does release their SDK.

  • Canon 5D Mark III back screen is dead after tethered capture with Lightroom 4.3

    I was successfully shooting tethered using Lightroom 4.3 (PC laptop with Windows 7) and my Canon 5D Mark III, however when I disconnected the cable I was no longer able to see anything on the back of the camera, no image playback, no menu, no live view, nothing.  How do I recover the functionality of the camera's back screen.  I tried removing the battery for a while, replacing the battery, taking out the memory card.  Don't know how to "reset" the camera.  Note the top display on the camera and the view finder display work fine, I can change settings with my dials.  Was working in Manual Exposure mode, and also tried Aperture Priority.  If I reconnect to the laptop I can still work in tethered mode, but after disconnecting the camera back is still dead.
    Was I somehow supposed to disconnect the camera from tethered capture before disconnecting the cable? 

    It is probably not related to your tethering session in Lightroom. It is also unlikely to be related to the order you unplugged things. (Unless you yanked the cable and damaged some electronics).
    Have you tried pulling both batteries for 30 minutes (The regular battery and the quarter-sized watch battery)?  Pull those and the memory card. Unplug all cables and let it sit for a while and then replace the batteries.

  • When will Lightroom 5 be updated to support tethered capture with the Nikon D5300?

  • Lightroom 5.7 Tethered capture

    I have just installed LR 5.7 but the tethered capture now does not work for my EOS 7D mk2 . It just blicks between "no camera found" and "Canon 7D mark2"  Any Suggestions
    as I  understood this upgrade was to recognise new cameras such as the mark 2

    LR 5.7 supports raw files from the EOS 7D Mark II but does not yet support tethering:

  • Tethered capture 7D mark ii

    When will tethered capture in lightroom support the canon 7D mark ii

    There are two clues,
    1. Lightroom updates are issued approximately every three months.
    2. Adobe only commences working on Tether Capture for new camera models after the camera manufacturer issues updates to their SDK for the particular camera model.
    See the link below for present list of camera models supported.

  • Tethered capture window problem in LR3

    Suddenly, images captured shooting tethered (Canon 1DS MkII, Lightroom 3.2) don't appear automatically in my viewing window; I have to click on each thumbnail. Have shot tethered with LR3 since it was available. Auto advance is checked, still no luck. Have upgraded to 3.3 and the problem lives on. Suggestions?

    I can see how that can be confusing. Here's the full list of supported cameras for tethering.  http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/tethered-camera-support-lightroom-4.html
    Long story short, Adobe use the camera manufacturer's SDK, so support is usually waiting on Canon.  They've recently updated their SDK but there are some crashes which they have yet to fix, before Adobe can do too much, so we don't have an idea on date yet, sorry.
