Shooting tethered tethered with LR 3 and a D300

  I just finished a photo shoot using a Nikon D300 and shooting tethered into LR3 and Windows 7.  Everything was working fine then my computer said the usb device is unrecognizable.  Until I reboot I cannot restore the connection. Can anyone advise me on this?

I don't remember what the settings were when I imported the catalog. Whatever the defaults were.
Whatever happened during import, I should still have the option to add the files when sync'ing a folder? But I don't.
Neither LR2 nor LR3 will allow me access to the edited DNG files now. I've erased and am rebuilding the catalog (all pertinent info was written to sidecar and/or within the DNG file, so I'm not anticipating any problems with this. It's showing the expected 27,000+ files being imported). I think I'll try building the LR3 catalog the same way when I fire it back up, once I'm sure I'm back up and running in LR2.
Thanks for the quick response!

  • 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

  • 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!

  • I have an Apple MacBook Pro with 2 USB ports and a MiniDisplay Port. I also have an HDTV with a HDMI port. How can I use the TV as a display without any tethering wires between my computer and the TV?

    I have an Apple MacBook Pro with 2 USB ports and a MiniDisplay Port. I also have an HDTV with a HDMI port. How can I use the TV as a display without any tethering wires between my computer and the TV? I have a MiniDisplay Port to VGA adapter, but there are two issues with it: The new display doesn't have a VGA port, and even if it did, I wouldn't want to have my mac constantly attached to the display by a cable. I was looking for a way to use the TV as a display without any wires. Is there some type of bluetooth setup I could use? Please let me know if you have any suggestions.

    As I wrote above, I think you should look into the Apple TV yourself. The best place to find information about what it can and can't do and to ask your own specific questions is probably in the Apple TV forum, here:

  • Lightroom 4 tethering unusable with Nikon D800

    I am on LR 4.4 using Nikon D800E.
    I had been using LR tethered with some intermittent locking issues since LR 3 with my Nikon D300.
    About 4 months ago, I purchased a Nikon D800E and started to use it tethered (as I had done with the D300) with LR 4.
    It would lock up consistently and I would have to reboot the computer to regain functionality. This would happen so many times during a shoot, that tethering just became unusable.
    After much testing, It turns out that the problem occurs when the camera's buffer reaches zero. LR consistently is unable to recover from this zero condition. Periodically it will allow one more shot after a bit (as if it tried to recover), but the shot in LR has an esclamation mark by it as damaged data. And at that point it will never recover without a complete computer reboot.
    I'm shooting with a team in studio - I can't have LR be this flakey - It is not acceptable to not be able to reach a zero buffer condition while shooting (I'm using Profoto and it can recycle faster than the camera can send to LR). It is not usable in its current state tethered with a Nikon D800. Just not usable.
    I had to switch to using Nikon's Camera Control 2 (which functions perfectly and never has trouble recovering from a zero buffer condition), until Adobe can fix this significant bug.
    Come on Adobe - Fix your software so it functions.
    P.S. I also noticed that conveniently Adobe removed the functionality of their report a bug link.

    After exhaustive testing (including trialing Phase One's Capture One Pro 7), it appears to be a bug in Adobe's SDK used in both LR4 and Capture One Pro 7.
    Here is the results:
    Well this has been over a month of testing.
    The problem is that the D800(E) can't recover from a zero buffer condition when shooting tethered with LightRoom 4 or Phase One's Capture One Pro 7.
    It recovers just fine when using Nikon's own Camera Control Pro 2.
    This started when I moved from the Nikon d300 which I had been shooting tethered with LR4 just fine, to the D800E. If I shot faster than the buffer and got the buffer down to zero, the next shot would produce a digitally corrupted image and then stop functioning. The buffer would not free up. It would take a reboot of the software to get it working again. Sometimes just turning the camera off and on would get things working again.
    I was sure it was Lightroom, as I had tethering instability with earlier versions of LR. So I switched to using Nikon's Camera Control Pro 2 to tether and the problem went away. So I was sure it was LR. I also posted within the LR forums and another user experienced the exact same issue.
    Today, I installed Phase One's Capture One Pro 7 software ( lists the D800E as supported for tethering - confirmed with a phone call to Phase One ).
    Exact same issue. Exactly the same.
    So, tomorrow I'm contacting Nikon because I'm thinking it has to be their SDK that they're providing to both Adobe and Phase One.
    Oh and I also upgraded to the just released Nikon D800 firmware - no change.
    If it's their SDK it means there's little chance of a solution in the near future, because first waiting for them to fix it and then waiting for the vendors to upgrade to the newest SDK release.
    So apparently the ONLY way to tether with the D800 is Nikon's own tethering software, which although the tethering is reliable and fast, the viewing, etc is tedious at best.

  • Unreliable, mainly non-existent tether with Nikon D800 (current firmware) to LR5.4 running on Macbook OS X 10.7.5. Tried all steps in LR help, plus using different Macbook.  tethering tethered

    I recently upgraded my camera from Nikon D700 to D800. For two weeks tethering to LR 5.3 worked impeccably.  The day before a major shoot I upgraded to newly released 5.4 which promised tether support for my backup camera, Nikon D 610, although 5.4 still does not seem to recognise the 610!
    For the first two days of this commercial shoot tethering to D800 also worked perfectly, then started to get intermittent, and Macbook gave message that USB drawing too much power and device needed to be removed (I've external drive and camera in the two USB sockets.) Then after that it only worked sporadically for a few frames. It sees contents of camera disk, but tether is sometimes there, then vanishes.
    The remaining three days of my shoot were a major headache, with me spending every evening working through LR Troubleshooting page - tried the entire page. Introduced a powered USB 3 hub, different USB cables, different Macbook…everything!
    Tethering works with Mac's Image Capture, and like a dream with a trial version of Capture One.
    Apple Genius Bar and they checked it out – it did the same for them, and all they could conclude was that the issue is  down to LR. They connected the camera to Aperture on their own Macbook and it tethered flawlessly.  I’ve had to instal this to do my tethered capture whilst this issue persists.  Anyone else had this issue and how did they overcome it?

    Ugh. Apparently "messing with it" is still the answer. I decided to try the LinkSys router I was using before I bought the Time Capsule, and my iPhone connected with no problem.
    I went through the steps again, and after rebooting my Time Capsule this time, I can connect again. The troubling thing it that this started with a power-off of my iPhone. No changes or installations, just a reset. Am I going to have to reboot my Time Capsule (which has no power switch, just a cord I have to unplug) every time I reboot my iPhone?

  • 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.

    Hi I have a question about shooting in Raw with my Canon EOS 6d.
    I'm in the process of learning photography and my goal was to start shooting in raw.
    I have Photoshop CS5. When I tried to edit my images in raw I received an error message stating, "The photoshop camera raw plug-in did not recognize the format. If these files are from a camera, you may need to update your camera raw plug in."
    In researching the issue I read that to edit in raw you need a camera model requirement of at least 7.3 which only works with CS6. My version of CS5 is 6.0.0.205. Being new to all this I see that my options are to upgrade to CS6 or convert by using DNG converter and paying a monthly fee. Two things I know nothing about and don't know which is would be more beneficial.
    I'd appreciate any advise on which route to go and how upgrade and what it may cost. THANKS in advance!

    In researching the issue I read that to edit in raw you need a camera model requirement of at least 7.3 which only works with CS6.
    That is correct. Your camera was first supported by Camera Raw 7.3. Camera Raw 7.3 will not work with CS5. You need CS6 or CC.
    Being new to all this I see that my options are to upgrade to CS6 or convert by using DNG converter and paying a monthly fee. Two things I know nothing about and don't know which is would be more beneficial.
    I'd appreciate any advise on which route to go and how upgrade and what it may cost.
    It all depends on your preferred workflow and your budget.
    Using the DNG converter is free. There is no monthly fee. You use the converter to convert all Raw files from the EOS 6D to DNGs then edit the DNGs in CS5. That's an extra step every time - every photo. Some people don't like the extra step. Others don't mind.
    Camera raw, DNG | Adobe Photoshop CC
    Or you can upgrade to CS6 (non-Cloud) and pay the upgrade fee
    Creative Suite 6
    Or join the Cloud and pay the monthly fee
    Or join the Photoshop Photography Program (US9.99/month) and get PS CC+LR

  • I shoot .nef with a D800e and am learning to edit these in Photoshop Camera Raw.  How to save edits?

    I shoot .nef with a D800e and am learning to edit these in Photoshop Camera Raw.  What is the best way to save for viewing and printing and sending to friends on a DVD? (TV viewing)  If I save edits as a tiff or jpeg does Photoshop remember the edits if I open the .nef picture again?  Do i really need three versions of each picture?  jpg, nef and photoshop raw, or what??    I have several thousand .nef and to convert to a photoshop raw format would take much disk space and yes I have three external drives of 1 - 3 TB. 
    What is my best practice?

    For that Nikon model you need ACR 8.3 that means CS6 or CC.  Or you can download the DNG converter convert your Nikon RAW files to Adobe RAW files. And then process the Adobe RAW files with CS5 ACR version  6.7

    1. Do I edit the whole thing at once and then save to file using compressor?
    After that how do I burn a DVD with chapter marks?
    2. Edit each section induvidually?  Then save through compressor?
    Then Compile and burn DVD?
    Also what setting is best for DVD through compressor?
    Sorry for all the questions but most of the stuff I do is online media.
    Thank you,

    If you can live with a very basic DVD menu, you can send your project to Compressor from FCP X, add chapter marks in Compressor, and burn a DVD right from Compressor.
    Choose Share...DVD, then click on the Advanced tab and select Send to Compressor. In Compressor you can add markers in the Preview window and customize the DVD menu slightly (add a background image and a Title) using the Inspector settings.
    If you need a fancier DVD menu, you'll need to use one of the other DVD authoring tools that Tom mentioned.
