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:

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.

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.

    I have a Canon Rebel T3i and I need to tether into my Macbook Pro. How can I do that? I updated my iPhoto to recongize my camera, it does. When connected I see it in the USB utlitiy. But my MacBook Pro says "no camera found." What do I need to do to fix this problem?

    Thanks, Kappy
    I was fooling around with Lightroom and it has a tethering option. I tried it and it worked. But I am still reading my camera manual as you recommeded.

  • 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.

  • Canon 600d video and iPad 2

    I purchased a camera connection kit to use with my iPad 2 and my Canon EOS 600d DSLR camera. It had a bit of problem reading my camera and SD card but this appears to be solved by switching the iPad on and off again. However, any imported video shot on the Canon will not play on the iPad. All it shows is a greyed out thumbnail with MOV on it. I can't understand this as I assume MOV is a Quicktime format - an Apple application, which I expected to be able to play on an iPad - an Apple device. Am I doing something wrong? Or am I missing something?

    The videos from my canon compact (G10) play ok when imported via the camera connection kit - they import, appear, and play in the Photos app just by tapping on them. They need to be in a supported format :
    Video formats supported: H.264 video up to 720p, 30 frames per second, Main Profile level 3.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format
    Whilst in GoodReader I can then copy them to it and view them in that app as well.

  • Canon EOS t3i File Conversion Issue

    Hello all,
    I recently got a Canon Rebel t3i, and sat down to edit some of the material I shot in FCP 7.
    After importing the files off of my SD cards directly into FCP and then organizining, making subclips, renaming etc., I was unhappy to find that after dragging clips into the timeline they did not playback correctly, dropping frames and generally screwing up.
    Looking it up after the fact I found that apparently the h.264 MOVs that the t3i makes are no good in Final Cut without first converting to something like Apple ProRes. Bummer.
    My question: will I need to go back and convert my files pre-FCP, as in the raw files straight off the SD card (using Compressor or the Canon plugin or whatever), or can I somehow not lose the work I have already done in naming and organizing clips in my FCP project?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks!

    You didn't even copy them off the card first?  Well, that's ANOTHER bottleneck...trying to edit directly from the card.
    OK, you can use the MEDIA MANAGER and the RECOMPRESS option to convert all the footage and keep the organization you have.  But in the future, you need to download the Canon EOS log and transfer plugin to use this workflow:  http://library.creativecow.net/ross_shane/tapeless-workflow_fcp-7/1
    or, use MPEG STREAMCLIP or Magic Bullet Grinder to convert the footage to ProREs before you edit.

  • Tethering with Canon T3i and Canon T4i

    Will Lightroom allow tethering with Canon T3i and Canon T4i ?

    I upgraded the EOS utility to the latest version.  Now I can tether perfectly in lightroom 4.3 with the T4i.

  • 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.

  • Premiere Pro CS4 and Canon 600d problems

    Hello,
    Recently I've been having a few recourring problems when trying to edit footage I captured on my Canon 600D on Adobe Premiere Pro CS4.
    The footage shot on the Canon is 1920x1080 at 24fps, when I create a setup preset for these settings in Premiere the clips appear to import absolutely fine. The setup Ive created is shown in the screenshot below.
    The problems start when I place the clip on the sequence and render it, once the clip renders the playback in the program/timeline preview window goes all weird and doesn't play the clip properly. Shown in the screenshot below.
    First of all I thought this might just be a playback error but when I try to export it as a video file it says error and closes down. This is extremely irratating so i wondered if anyone would be able to offer me a soloution. I have a feeling it may be my setup preset but if so would someone be able to tell me the correct way to set it up for a canon 600d camera because whenever I try a preset found within premiere it exports the video at 720 resolution and very low quality.
    Thanks very much for whoever replies, I appreciate it very much
    Mike

    Ahhh okay that sucks, is there anyway to convert the footage that I already have without drastically reducing the quality as I want my film to be the best quality that is possible?

  • 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.

  • When using tethered capture I often get this notification "The metadata for this photo has been changed by both Lightroom and another application". This slows or stalls the loading of incoming photos. How do I find out which other application is changing

    When using tethered capture I often get this notification "The metadata for this photo has been changed by both Lightroom and another application". This slows or stalls the loading of incoming photos. How do I find out which other application is changing the metadata and stop it?

    Thanks Sean,
    I've had a look at the TC settings dialog and tried to keep it as simple as possible. I also had a copy of LR 4 on the hard drive so have trashed that also incase of any conflicts. LR seems to be running ok now but as said it's an intermittent problem.
    I also have a copy of Capture One on the hard drive so am going to uninstall that also in case it is trying to launch.

  • 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

  • I frequently use Lightroom 3.6 for tethered capture on location. If I sign up for Adobe cloud and upgrade to Lightroom 5, do I have to be online all the time to use it? In other words, can I still use the program off-line?

    I frequently use Lightroom 3.6 for tethered capture on location. If I sign up for Adobe cloud and upgrade to Lightroom 5, do I have to be online all the time to use it? In other words, can I still use the program off-line?

    Yes.
    The only difference is the installation method and the ownership verification. The program still is installed on and runs from your local machine. You only have to hook up to the internet every 60-90 days to verify ownership.
    From the FAQ
    Do I need to be online to access my desktop apps?
    No, the desktop applications in Creative Cloud, such as Photoshop and Illustrator, are installed directly on your computer, so you don’t need an ongoing Internet connection to use them.
    An Internet connection is required the first time you install and license your apps, but you can use the apps in offline mode with a valid software license. The desktop apps will attempt to validate your software licenses every 30 days.
    Annual members can use the apps for up to 99 days in offline mode. Month-to-month members can use the software for up to 30 days in offline mode."

  • Hi I have CS5 and a canon 600D. Photoshop won't convert the files

    Hi I have CS5 and a canon 600D. When I shoot in RAW photoshop won't read my files unless I convert them through DNG converter. This is time consuming and takes up a lot of space and I was wondering if there is a shortcut to converting the files. Also I have just become a full time student studying photography. I would like to purchase a student package so that i can use CC which is the same programme a at university. Which is the best and cheapest way to do this? I know that we are being offered a package in November, but I need to upgrade sooner really.

    Hi Frankiestone,
    I would advice you to purchase the Photography plan which consists of both Lightroom and Photoshop.
    Please refer to below link for pricing
    https://creative.adobe.com/plans
    When you have the latest version of the products you will have access to camera raw version 8.6 and you would be easily able to import the RAW files from Cannon 600D with converting them.
    Thanks
