"No Camera Detected" when try tethered shooting

Setup:
Windows 7 Ultimate 32 Bits
Lightroom 3.3(just updated to the latest version)
Nikon D700 / D3s (supported according to this)
Problem:
When I connect any of my cameras (D700 / D3s) to my computer and fire up LightRoom and try to do a Tethered shooting, I get a "No Camera Detected" on the tethered shooting bar.
Notes:
- The cable works and the Windows driver works as my cameras are detected by Windows, show up in the devices list and I can browse the CF card content from the computer, so it is not a cable problem. It might be a driver issue with lightroom...
- USB Mode: the D700 and D3 series only have PTP mode, no USB Mass storage (MSC Mode), so suggestions to turn on USB Mass Storage mode are just not going to work.
- Both the D700 and D3 are listed as compatible cameras for tethered shooting in Adobe release notes
Any ideas / fix / suggestions appreciated.
Thanks.

Initially when I read this I was hopeful.  But after following the steps - I still got the same results - No Camera Detected.
Environment:
Dell Core I5 Inspiron Laptop (new)- got it to do tethered capture on location.
Windows 7 home premium 
LightRoom 4.2 (just purchased 2 weeks ago)
Nikon D300s
Initially when I connected my Nikon D300s - it worked perfectly with LR 4.2.  Weeks prior to that the D300s tethered perfectly to my desktop computer (Windows 7 Home Premium; LR 3.6) as well.
After about 30 photos while tethered to the laptop (all photos transferred to the LR 4.2 on the laptop) - I took a break and disconnected (not positive I did - may have left connected) the camera.  Later I re-attached and got the no Camera Detected Message.  Tried switching USB cables(to Nikon's supplied USB cable).  No camera detected.   Tried switching USB ports - same result.  In both instances Windows detected the camera and reported its battery life and space remaining on the card.
Found this posting, logged on as Admin and went through the steps, all of the services were already set to Automatic except RPC Locator. Set it to automatic  and saved.  Rebooted started LR and a tethered connection and connected the camera.  Windows detected it as before, but LR was clueless.  Realized that I had closed WIA before going to next step.  Started Services and repeated steps this time leaving WIA open after opening each service.  Set RPC Locator to manual and applied and then set to |Automatic and applied.  Went through steps, then clicked OK on WIA.  Closed out Services and rebooted.  Started up LR, opened Tethered Connection and attached camera.  No camera detected.  In all cases I tried depressing the shutter button half way to see if it awoke LR Tethered connection.
Decided to try the D300s on my Desktop (with LR 3.6).  Got the same results.  Windows 7 recognized the camera, and LR was clueless.  To me this strongly points to a problem with the camera, except that Windows recognized the camera both times - thus the USB port seems to e working fine.  Read through the D300s menu options in case there was a setting there that I had missed.  I didn't see anything relevant (plus I hadn't messed with it while Tethered).
So right now I'm up the creek with an on site session looming the horizon!

  • 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.

  • Tethered Capture stopped working –"No Camera Detected"

    Windows 7 (64bit)
    Lightroom 3.3
    Canon 7D – Latest firmware 1.2.3
    Yesterday I had Tethered Capture working a treat. No problems at all.
    Today I have attempted to use it – exactly the same set up as yesterday and Lightroom refuses to see the camera – it just says “No Camera Detected” in the Tethered Capture pop-up.
    Windows can see the camera, and shows the CF card content in Windows Explorer. The Canon utility can see the camera. Even Lightroom can see the camera and can import from the CF card in the camera.
    Whenever the USB cable is connected, if I look through the viewfinder and press the shutter a flashing busy light comes up, and no photo is taken. Makes me wonder what the camera is doing? Is it perhaps looking for an application on the PC to talk to?
    Yesterday it was running fine with the USB cable plugged into a hub, I tried with it connected directly to the PC but it didn’t help.
    I even tried removing power from the PC and restarting Windows – that usually fixes anything :-)
    I have Googled and searched these forums but have found nothing that helps.
    Is this an Adobe problem, a Canon problem – or am I doing something daft?
    Anyone any thoughts?
    Many thanks,
    RzB

    OK - so today I bring the camera and tripod back to the PC today, and hey presto - is all starts working again.
    The PC had not even been restarted since it wasn't working yesterday.
    Anyone got any ideas why it might not have been working yesterday?
    Thanks,
    RzB

  • No Camera Detected

    Ok I know this has been asked a few times in various formats.  All of a sudden, Photo Booth says "No Camera Detected" when I open it.  I've tried different user, different applications, SMC etc.....  I still get "No Camera Detected".  This is so frustrating becasue it was just working a couple of days ago.  Any help would be appreciated...

    If you hold down the option key and select System Information... from the Apple menu, do you see the FaceTime (or iSight) camera listed under Hardware>USB? Should look something like this:
    FaceTime HD Camera (Built-in):
      Product ID:    0x8509
      Vendor ID:    0x05ac  (Apple Inc.)
      Version:     5.16
      Serial Number:    DJHBCQ05AWDH7HL0
      Speed:    Up to 480 Mb/sec
      Manufacturer:    Apple Inc.
      Location ID:    0xfa200000 / 2
      Current Available (mA):    500
      Current Required (mA):    500
    If not, try restarting to see if the system can 'locate' the camera. If it still doesn't show up, it's time for a trip to your local Apple Store or an AASP.

  • Tethered Shooting in LR3

    Where can I find a listing of the cameras LR3 supports for tethered shooting?  Wondering if my Nikon D700 is supported.

    I have a Nikon D80 and I am dying to do tethered shooting with Lightroom 3. Does anyone know when it is likely to become available for my camera and Mac OSX 10.6?
    Is it a matter of Adobe making it available or of Nikon writing a driver?
    I am aware of Sofortbild, and tried using it, but it interferes with the synchronization with my SB-600 flash.
    Thanks

  • Tethered shooting and Canon live view

    When using tethered shooting with LR3, is it possible to see the live view image (Canon 1dsIII)? I looked for a setting, but couldn't find any.

    Jonathan,
    No, you can't. Tethering isn't as feature-rich as folks would like.

  • When will the 7d Mark II camera be supported for tethering?

    Good Morning All - I purchased a 7d Mark II camera recently and was pleased to see Lightroom be able to work with my RAW files.  I would now like to move into the realm of Tethered shooting with this new camera and Lightroom but it appears my camera is NOT YET SUPPORTED.  I run Windows 8.1  currently and have all the hardware and EOS software set up / configured. I can take pics with the EOS software but when I start tethering in Adobe Lightroom it just flashes on and off - I am presuming it is because the camera uses USB 3.0 now and the Lightroom software is not yet updated for the new camera.  Can anyone tell me when we might expect to see this camera set up for tethering ability?

    Tethering support usually lags one or more versions behind when raw files are supported, and Adobe doesn’t preannounce support, usually, so anyone knows what the internal schedule might be cannot post on a public forum, anyway.
    The 7D Mark II has only recently been supported for raws and it may be a few versions more before tethering works.  Since we’re already up to LR 5.7 of the LR 5 series, it’s possible that the version of LR to first support tethering would be LR 6—assuming there is a LR 6. 
    In the mean time you may find it works to tether using the EOS Utility and then set up LR with an Auto Import folder pointing to where the EOS Utility is putting the photos.

  • Tethered shoot in LR5.3 with Nikon camera

    I am a mac user with 10.7 OS. I recently upgraded to LR5.3 and thought to try out the tethered shooting feature with my Nikon D300. In the ‘Tethered Capture Settings’ window it shows the naming format as a DNG file. I only import image files in their native ‘NEF’ format though I am aware of the advantages of ‘DNG’ files.
    Anyway I noticed the captured images were named as ‘nef’ files with its standard sidecar xmp file. Note the lower case lettering for 'nef'. I am not able to import these files to my external HD because these images were grayed out in the Import window. However if I changed the format names to upper casing, NEF, these images are visible for import.
    How can I avoid the extra step of having to the change the casing of the letters and have the captured images in the tethered shoot all have the correct upper casing instead?
    Thanks
    Raymond

    Yep

    Geoff,
    Thanks for the response. When the aforementioned problem occured I did check on the Lightroom Preferences. In the Preference window there are 5 tabs, General, Presets, External Editing, File Handling and Interface.
    Under the File Handling the only options I see for "File Extension" are 'dng' or 'DNG'. Is this the settings you are refering to?

  • I have Lightroom 4 and a new 70D camera and when I try to important my photos Lightroom says it doesn't recognize my CR2 files.  I have downloaded plugin for the camera, but it still doesn't work.  Can you help?

    I have Lightroom 4 and a new 70D camera and when I try to important my photos Lightroom says it doesn't recognize my CR2 files.  Can someone help?  I have downloaded 8.3 from Adobe, but still doesn't work?

    Lightroom doesn't use the Camera Raw plug-in. All of the Camera Raw technology is part of the Lightroom program. You will either have to upgrade to Lightroom 5 or use the DNG converter to create digital negative copies that can be used with Lightroom 4.

  • When I try backing up to icloud it says that I have gone over the free 5gb. It shows that I have 4.6 gb of pictures in my camera roll when I barely have over 200 pictures! Any similiar problems or possible solutions?

    You're welcome.  Given the number of people who seem to have problems restoring photos from their backup I wouldn't trust the iCloud backup for my photos anyway.  I always import them to my computer at least weekly.  That way I know I have them.
    You might want to check out the app PhotoSync.  It makes this pretty easy as it transfers them to your computer wirelessly and keeps track of which ones have already been transferred.

    Hi qwerty,
    Dun tink that creative customer support sucks cos I had been dealing with them in the past and I can say that their service are quite gd and fast. If you wanted a refund, I tink you need to contact the store that sells you the product. Dun tink creative will refund you though.

  • HT201210 I tried to update my iphone4, in the middle it gave an error and now when try to connect it the computer doesnt even detects it and neither does itunes

    I tried to update my iphone4, in the middle it gave an error and now when try to connect it the computer doesnt even detects it and neither does itunes

    Power the phone off completely. Plug the USB end of the cord into the computer, leaving the other end unplugged from the phone. While the phone is powered off, open up iTunes, hold down the home button on the phone, and plug in the USB cord to the phone, making sure you keep holding down the home button. In about 15 seconds you should get a pop-up in itunes saying that it's detected an iPhone in recovery mode. Click 'Ok' and 'Restore'.
    Your iOS update crashed and your phone is in recovery mode. The good news is that this will fix it, bad news is that unless you had everything backed up in either iTunes or iCloud, you've lost everything as your phone was wiped when the iOS update crashed.
