Problems shooting in tethered capture with Lightroom 4.4 using Nikon D7000.

I've been shooting in tethered capture mode for about one year with few problems until recently. I'm using Lightroom 4.4 in conjuction with a Nikon D7000.  Operating system is Windows 7, 32 bit.    I'm now getting a dialog box mssg stating: "A captured file could not be saved.  Your drive may be full, or may no longer be accessible."   Both of the drives that I use have tons of remaining storage space available.  Any suggestions on how I should start the trouble shooting process with this problem would be greatly appreciated!

Files are being saved to being saved to the hard drive of my computer (Windows 7, 32 bit operating system) and to and external hard drive.  As I mentioned both drives have plenty of additional storage space available.  I should also mention that many times when attempting Tether Capture the dialog box stating "A captured file could not be saved" does not appear at all.  At those times Lightroom simply does not recognize the camera. 
Thus far I have taken the following steps as instructed in "Lightroom Help / Troubleshoot teetered capture in Lightroom" :
   1.  Make sure that you're using the most recent version of Lightroom - DONE
   2.  Make sure that your camera is supported (did this previously at the time I started using tethered capture).
   3.  Turn the camera on and off - DONE
   4. Turn off the camera and the computer -DONE
   5.  Try a different USB cable and USB port -DONE
   6.  Check your hard disk for space - DONE
   7.  Reset Lightroom preferences - DONE
   8.  Make sure your camera's firmware is up to date - DONE
   9.  Close applications that could be causing a conflict -  DONE
10.  Check that the transfer mode in the camera is set appropriately - DONE
11.  Search Adobe Community Help for a support document on your camera - DONE
12.  Try tethered shooting with another application -  I TRIED TETHERED SHOOTING ON A DIFFERENT
        COMPUTER AND IT WORKED JUST AS IT SHOULD.
I'm wondering if the problem I am having is related more to the operating system than to Lightroom.  I say this because at the time that I first set up tethered capture there were some obstacles related to the Windows 7 operating system that I had to overcome. 
At any rate I need additional ideas - this is driving me crazy!

  • Tethered Capture with 3.4.1 x64 and D7000

    Hello everybody,
    I am starting this discussion about issues with Tethered Capture with LR 3.4.1 and Nikon D7000.
    I tested the Capture on 3 different PCs: a Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit and two Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit.
    I can properly do capture with the 32bit version of LR, even thought I am no longer able to browse the files on the SD card after a shooting session with Tether. I suppose this has something to do with exclusive access priority, but this is actually not the big problem I am encountering.
    On Windows 7 x64 machines, it appears LR 64bit is not able to do Tethered Capture as in the capture window I only see "No camera detected".
    I did a search on the Internet and I found just a few examples of this issue with apparently no explanation or solutions, but I think this is a general problem as it happens on two different Windows 7 x64 installations, but not on the 32bit one.
    My D7000 already has the latest firmware installed and I already tried different USB cables to be sure this is not a hardware malfunction.
    I am now really lost to this problem and I do not know how to proceed in troubleshooting or solving it.
    Anybody can help?
    Thanks a lot and have a nice day
    Luca

  • 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.

  • Brushes not working with new RAW conversion for Nikon D7000

    I have always worked with RAW files w/A2 & A3.1.1 with my Nikon (D80) And now, just got Nikon's D7000 and of course, waited for the RAW conversion that just came out.
    Apple addressed the Nikon D7000 RAW situation (which was fixed this month), but now when I use "brushes" on RAW pics, very little if any changes occur.
    Very little affect occurs (if any) with A3.1.1 and the "new" RAW conversion for Nikon. I shot (at the same time) both RAW and JPEG (as cameras can) and put them side by side in A3. Pulled down Dodge / Burn / Skin Smoothing & Blur from brushes and they all did a great job. But on the RAW pic that was taken at the same time..... nada, nothing (maybe a minute change, but nothing to call home about).
    Bottom line, the newest RAW capability that came out a couple of weeks ago, somehow messed up brushes? I don't think I am that smart or lucky to see this issue. Am I missing something here? If so, please set me straight.
    I have tried the places one pulls down brushes but no affect on RAW. Using curves from bricks and luminance, etc, works just fine. Guess I am stuck with JPEG's until this is resolved by our A3 guys, or someone realigns me.

    I am able to import them, but I cannot edit them as RAW files. They behave like .jpegs. So correcting exposure for example is a horrible experience. My 5D Mark II files behave as they did in Aperture, so it is the FZ1000 RAWs in particular that are problematic.

  • Does Photoshop work better with Canon EOS 7D or Nikon D7000?

    18.0 megapixels - Canon EOS 7D
    16.2 megapixels - Nikon D7000
    Also, I keep reading the best digital image format to work with in Photoshop CS5.5 is RAW.
    Is this right?
    Thank you.

    You should know that the sensors are made or at least created by the same company it is a question of specification by the manufacturer that determines which sensor and advance standard the sensor is made.
    That being the case Canon has traditional jump the gun to select the more advanced technology rather than wait for that technology to be 100% perfected as in a full frame 35mm format sensor.
    Also they have consistently favored larger pixel count over quality of the pixel itself and use software (the firmware) to smooth the result giving it that slightly soft quality.
    They do this with their lenses as well in particular to their Shift Tilt lenses which had to be updated since Nikon waited and were very successful with that update as well.
    It is not that the cameras as not popular or good but if they wait they might be able to give their customers the better product.
    Like the sensors the Shift Tilt lenses seem to be made by the same company but with different specification and perhaps different glass.
    The two cameras you are speaking of are not their high end cameras but like all the products both companies make they are good depending on what you need.
    And counting pixels is kind of ridiculous these days as the New 1DX has a lower pixel count then its predecessors because they found that making larger pixels enable them to control the noise better as Nikon discovered.
    I still use the D3 and my client in Paris often enlarges the images to over a meter in hieght with amazing detail and it could easily be resampled much larger.
    And you are talking about 12.1 megapixels to start with so the game of pixel has some meaning but not much.
    When they perfect the noise control for smaller pixels then the technology for a larger pixel count will have some weight right now that is not the case although from what the they claim about the 1Dx might prove to be an indication that they hav made some strides in this direction it reamins to be seen if Canon has jump the gun again which I suspect they have done.
    Doing things in a rush is often the slower way to a goal.
    Let see if Canon jump the gun again. I would think Nikon woud have been on it if they thought the tehnology was finished they get the sensors from the same place.
    So far all I have seen is that the body looks good?

  • How can I work with lightroom when I use two computers ?

    I am new to Lightroom and work with a laptop at home and a PC at work. Before I started to use LR3 I simply duplicated my pic files onto both machines, edited on whichever machine I wanted and then synchronised the folders. This system provided me with a working copy at either home or work and also a backup copy on the other machine.
    I would like to operate the same system with LR3 but am unable to figure it out due to the automatic filing system used by the programmme to seperate the raw files and the instructions for those files.
    Can anyone provide me with simple step by step instructions on how to transfer the files/instructions by using  a flash drive and "Copy and replace"system
    as I am totally confused by the grammar, syntax, and terminology used by Adobe.

    Hi Geoffbubbles,
    if you see only 1 photo you did export only 1 photo in the catalog.
    Make sure you select all (e.g. <ctrl> A or remove the tick from "export selected photos only" in the dialog box of export-as-catalog =>will pick the total folder).
    What Dorin mentions are catalogs as transportation vehicles between the two LR computer catalogs.
    Let's assume you start on your home-comp and transfer to the work-comp.
    When you EXPORT you give a name "home-to-work" for the transport catalog. You decide if you include the pictures by ticking "exclude negative files".
    You would do so only for the first time, when your work-comp would not yet have them.
    These are the original files which would never be touched, but which LR needs to have available to do develop work (i.e. to write develop instructions into its database). [Or maybe only you need them in order to have LR display the effects of what you are doing, if your slider settings achieve your desired result.]
    When you transfer your new settings from the work-comp to the home-comp which has the original files already you only need to transfer the DB-records for the files, i.e. the catalog parts. Then it is sufficient to export-as-catalog (name it "work-to-home") without the tick for the negative files. Which will obviously save a lot of data to transfer.
    As would leaving off the tick for "include available previews", but then your receiving computer would have to render the previews itself - your choice where you spend the effort.
    Depending on your ticks checked in export dialog the data on the transfer stick will show different folders:
    1 wrapping folder with the name you specified as transportation catalog name (in the example above "home-to-work")
    therein the catalog file *.lrcat (home-to-work.lrcat)
    if "include negative files" ticked: as many subfolders as the original folder structure/names of the pictures in it had on the sending machine
    if "include available previews" ticked: an *Previews.lrdata-folder ("home-to-work Previews.lrdata") with lots of subfolders labelled 0...F
    On the receiving computer, when you IMPORT FROM CATALOG, you only select the *.lrcat-file.
    In the dialog box you decide if you import the negative files (prereq you had included them) or if you just add them without moving (why not leave them on the stick i.o. actually copying over to the work-comp?). If there are no new photos, but just new settings, you can either overwrite your old settings (which is probably your intention) or tick "preserve old settings as virtual copies".
    When you use Dorins smart collection "Touched today" the virtual copies should not show up upon re-export on the way "work-to-home", provided you have further tweaked the master versions only. Or they do because in the end you liked them better and continued tweaking on them.
    Note if you do not include previews: you might need to tell LR on the receiving comp to rerender the previews if it contains the photos and earlier previews already - I am not sure, if LR starts off on its own to rerender them.

  • Problem closing an ActiveX created with the bridge and used in a scada.

    Hi all,
    I cretaed an ActiveX (using the bridge) to be used in a scada software. I inserted the activex in a panel and it opens and work properly when the panel is open. The problem is that when I close the panel, the scada doesnt free the memory. Is it supposed to do free it or is it my bussines? Should or can I do it by calling any method, function? Any suggestion?
    Thanks!

    I guess that on exit scada does not release resources. Try the tool at

  • Tethering issue lightroom 4.4 and Nikon D800

    I'm having trouble tethering my Nikon D800 to Lightroom 4.4.
    Attempts at tethering mostly produce "No Camera Detected" after File > Tethered Capture in Lightroom.
    There have been some occasions however when the camera was detected and tethering functioned for a short while.
    These successful occasions happened using the same approach and equipment.
    I'm using Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit Version 6.1 (with i7) and both camera and Lightroom have been updated.
    From Terry: [email protected]

    Thanks for the help. I have made progress this way: I updated the drivers for the Nikon D800 on the computer. Lightroom and Nikon's ViewNX2 were already fully updated. This didn't help. I deleted NikonView, restarted, and found the problem gone. Lightroom tethers as it should without ViewNX2 on the machine. This is still a mystery to me but I can tether.

  • Lr4 / Canon 5D II / Tethered Capture / Images damaged in transfer

    I am shooting in tethered mode in Lightroom 4. approximately every 40 images the RAW (CR2) file gets damaged for some reason. Image on the card remains in normal conditions.
    Would be great to figure out what the issues is.
    System: Windows 7 (x64), LR4 (4.1), Camera Raw 7.1
    Thank you,
    vh

    Almost certainly a hardware issue - this kind of problem is generally tracked down to a failing hard drive (that's what caused it for me), problems with RAM, or a something wrong with the card, the reader, or (if the images are being downloaded straight from camera) a USB cable fault, but that seems to be ruled out here.

  • Latest image doesnt show - tethered capture

    Hi,
    I'm having an issue using LR4 where when shooting in tethered capture mode the previewed image wont advance to the photo you have just taken.
    The file is there, but you have to manually advance to it.
    It was previously doing this, however wont anymore. Hopefully this is something simple i am missing. But it is very frustrating and difficult to work with as it stands!
    Thanks in advance.

  • 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.

  • 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.
