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.

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.

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/

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.

When will lightroom support tethered shooting with the NIKON D4S?

when will lightroom support tethered shooting with the NIKON D4S?

Okay so I should be asking Adobe direct, thanks.
I did find that Nikon released the developer software for the D4S back in february so just could'nt uderstand the delay especially as adobe never seems to be late taking my money each month.

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).

Lightroom 5 auto import issues with nikon d90

Hoping someone can help answer my question - I am wondering if Lightroom 5 has any issues with the auto import or tethering feature using a Nikon d90? I was using Lightroom 2 and the auto import feature has no issues with my d90. After I installed Lightroom 5 (Cloud App) and ran it for the first time, the first thing I used was the tethering feature and it worked great for 4 shots. I turned my camera off and then back on again and LR would not recognize my camera any longer for tethering. What's strange is that it will detect it for "Importing from Device" option. So, I went to plan two which was to auto import and that wasn't working at all. I am at a loss. I have a shoot coming up this weekend and need for one of these options to work. Any help is appreciated!!!

I use a D90, but I have never tried tethered shooting with it. Other users might have some suggestions for you, but looking at the list of supported cameras for tethered shooting the D90 is not "officially" supported in Lightroom. So you're probably on your own to find solutions. I know this isn't a lot of help.

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?

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.

Tethered shooting with Canon 1Ds MarkII?

I am curious if Lightroom allows for tethered shooting. The Canon software leaves much to be desired and Capture One Pro is a bit steep at $399. I'd like to trash the Canon software and replace it with something more efficient.

Lightroom3 has 2 options to tether directly or
through the EOS Utility software.

I have been using Aperture 3.3.2 with Mac OS-X 10.7.5. This version doesn't support RAW with Nikon D7100, I decided to upgrade to 3.4. On downloading, it tells me that to upgrade, I need Aperture Vers.3! which I have. What to do??

Have you moved or renamed your Aperture 3 version? If it is not installed in the "Applications" folder or not named simply "Aperture", then Software Update will not recognize it.
Put Aperture back and "Software Update" should find your version.

Will there ever be an upgrade for Lightroom 3 that will work with Nikon d800 NEF files?

Will there ever be an upgrade to Lightroom 3 that will work with Nikon D800 NEF files?

Why not use Lightroom 4 instead?
I mean, assuming you can get it running fast enough, you'll usually get better results with PV2012 - right? And in the cases where you prefer PV2010 (if there are any), it's there too...

Exporting Issue with Nikon D7100

Hi.
Just shot some footage with Nikon D7100, 1080p 23.4fps.
I have recently exported on these settings using the H.264 with no issue.
Today I sped the footage up to 2500% (20 min down to 35 seconds) and when I export it is turning my video into a squashed box that has been dramatically degraded.
I doubt this is to do with speeding up though?
These are my settiings. Any ideas? It will be something stupidly simple.

Weird things can happen with extreme speed up. Can't say what exactly the issue is without seeing the footage. However - I would UNcheck the boxes for Frame Blending and Max Render. Frame Blending is used when changing frame rates, which you are not, 24p source and 24p export. The blending could definitely mess up the output. Max Render is used when downscaling, which again you are not going - adds time to the render.
Lastly, how will the exported video be viewed? For web/computer viewing, you want to use square pixels (1.0 pixel aspect ratio). Exporting as anamorphic (1440x1080 1.33 PAR), it may play back as 4:3 rather than 16:9. So export either as 1920x1080 (1.0 PAR) or 720p (1280x720, 1.0 PAR) for best results.

Lightroom 4.4 Tethering does not work with Nikon D7100

A week ago i bought my new Nikon D7100. Yesterday i wanted to try the thetering of Lightroom 4.4.
It worked with my Nikon D5100 but it does not work with the new camera.
Is it a problem with my camera or with Lightroom?
Another question does tethering work with Lightroom 5?

...And Google says:

How to keep a copy of the image file on memory card when using tethered shooting with a Nikon D800?

I love tethered Shooting but as default (at least for Nikon) Lightroom does only save the file on the computer, not on the memory card.
Now I want to have a backup of the image file on the memory card additionally to downloading it. The tethering software digiCamControl can do this with my camera, so it is technically possible.
So how can I achieve this using Lightroom tethering?

Thanks. FWIW I'm very keen on improving tethering and lobbied Adobe endlessly until they added the overlay for shooting into layouts because it was a major reason why some of my clients were unable to switch to Lightroom from PhaseOne. But we have to be realistic and remember that tethering just isn't a key market for Adobe as it is for PhaseOne, so progress is painfully slow. For example, where is live view or setting exposure which are in PhaseOne? I'd be amazed if we get those features for a few versions, and that's why I point serious tethered shooters to other solutions. And realistically, assuming your understanding of the SDK is correct you shouldn't expect a change until the next full version of Lightroom. Good if it happens, but I wouldn't bet on it.
