Tethered shooting help

How can I get tethered shooting to work again? It did before but now Lightroom never detects my camera. I have a Nikon D600 with the latest firmware, Lightroom 5.7 and Windows 8.1 64bit. I tried everything on this site already: Troubleshoot tethered capture in Lightroom

I have the same problem and no one answered to my post.
I am suspecting windows 8.1 to stealing the camera resource and hiding it to Lightroom.
I tried ALL recommendations on the Adobe support site and it still does'nt work.
It works well with Windows 7 though.
Any Windows expert around ?

  • Tethered Shooting in Bridge - Display latest shot?

    Using Bridge CS4 in conjunction with Canon EOS utility - "tethered" to an EOS 5D. My images appear in Bridge as thumbnails as they are shot. But the most recent shot does not appear in the preview window unless I click on the thumbnail. (this is only the second time I have shot tethered) I seem to recall that previously, the most recent shot would automatically display in Preview -updating each time I shoot again. I can't seem to find a preference or command that will fix this.
    (OS 10.5.6 - + latest Canon firmware + Bridge CS4)
    thanks
    Nick F

    Unfortunately, that link doesn't work for CS6 because the Auto Preview Latest File extension is not compatible with the current version of Bridge.
    However, Lightroom 4.1 works great for tethering, no other software needed.
    Here’s the Adobe help page for tethering:

  • 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 5d Mark II and Aperture 2.1.4 not working

    Is the 5d mark II not supported by aperture 2? I've been successful shooting tethered with the EOS utility (version 1.6), but whenever I use aperture 2, my camera freezes up and the buttons won't work. I have to power down and disconnect the USB. On the tethered HUD, it says that the 5d mark II is connected, but i'm unable to take a picture. Anyone else have this problem, or know how to solve it?
    Thanks for your help!

    Unfortunately, the 5D Mark II isn't yet have support for tethered shooting as does the 5D Mark I. There is an Automator action you can set up with a "Hot Folder" using the EOS capture utility that is a decent work around. Been using this technique for several months now. I'm sure an update or next version will include tethered support.

  • Lightroom 3.0 / 3.2 tethered shooting with 550d

    Hey guys and girls,
    Just starting using lightroom and have had success shooting tethered with my 400d and 550d through the EOS utility but when i go to shoot directly into lightroom i can only use my 400d.
    Is there anything special I have to do to get my 550d working? or is it just unsupported for tethered shooting?
    cheers
    Jase

    yeah, i tried that approach and it works fine but i think its a bit slow for quickly prievewing the image for focus/exposure.
    I have to wait for the pic to be copied across to the computer, and once LR realises its there, it then has to import it into the library generate prievew etc.
    Its alright with jpegs but shooting cr2's at 20ish mB a frame takes a bit of time.
    Any ideas for speeding that up? my light room catalogue and watched folder are on the same drive so that shouldn't be an issue.
    thanks for the help guys.  this is great!

  • Exclamation (!) on images from a tethered shoot

             I completed a tethered shoot last night, and today I noticed am exclamation point on two of my images (After my first edit, I have 217 images). When I click on the I get an error message about saving from the disk or catalogue-I have attached a screenshot of this error message.
    Can anyone translate this message for me?
    I'm on Mac running 10.6.8, Lightroom 3.6, and shooting with a Canon 5D Mark II. I literally just got my camera back from Canon, where it was being repaired for a dysfucntional port, so I am really hoping this is not an issue with my camera.
    Thanks!
    Ellen

    This message can appear if you are automatically applying metadata to the image upon import. Since the metadata has not been saved to the drive yet, it wants to know if you want to update the files on your drive or go back to the original metadata thats on the drive.
    So import button if you want to go back to the original metadata or overwrite button to update the files on the drive.
    Its a good habbit to get into is save the metadata back to the drive when you can, that will make sure any other app that reads the metadata is using the latest data and should anything go awry with your catalog, you will have less to do to restore that catalog.
    The other time you will see this message is when you use another app like Adobe Bridge to update the metadata. This allows you the opportunity to update your catalog. That would be a time to import settings from disk.
    I hope that helps.

  • Tethered shooting with a Nikon D200..

    I have a D200 and want to shoot macro images in the field and check images especially depth of field on my MacBook (Intel). Is it correct that with Aperture 2.0 no other Nikon software is required for tethered shooting? Thanks for any help and/or web info on this subject as I have never tried this before. Peter

    Yes the D200 works with tethered. In the setup menu you need to change the USB setting from mass storage to PTP mode. (pg 121 in the manual). Turn the camera off, plug in the USB cable and then turn the camera on. To be clear, I haven't tried it in Mass Storage mode, so you might not need to do this.
    Tethered only works if there is a CF card in it as well. I didn't like this at first, but USB is slow, with out using the CF card you would be lucky to get in one shot every 5 seconds.
    I have a D200 and tried the tethered feature first thing on the day the trial was released. I LOVE it. Really, I was enjoying it so much I was laughing. Granted, this was done on my iMac G5, I have not tried it yet on my MacBook Pro yet.

  • Lightroom auto import/tethered shooting strangeness

    Hello, I'm trying to work out a tethered shooting workflow for the 1Ds MKIII that can keep up with a fairly rapid lifestyle shooter. I'm on a Windows XP system, 1.86 GHz Intel Core 2 duo system with 3 GB of ram. I'm seeing this same behavior in LR 1.3 and LR 2.0 beta.
    I've followed the steps Martin Evening outlines on his blog (Canon EOS utility in conjunction with Lighroom auto import) here http://lightroom-news.com/2008/02/07/shooting-tethered-with-the-canon-eos-1ds-mkiii/ and everything is working _almost_ smoothly.
    When I fire off a single frame with the camera, it takes about 5 seconds for the Canon EOS utility to copy the file to the hard drive and for lightroom to see and move the file from the watched folder to the destination folder. This seems reasonable.
    However, when I start shooting at a normal pace (approximately 1 frame a second) it seems like Lightroom stops watching the watched folder until I stop shooting for an extended period of time.
    I would have thought Lightroom checked the folder at a standard interval, every 5 seconds or so. However, if I snap, say 40 frames at the rate of 1 a second, Lightroom doesn't realize there are new images in the watched folder until I stop shooting and let the camera's buffer empty out.
    Has anyone else seen this behavior? Does anyone know if there is a registry hack to force lightroom to check the watched folder more frequently? Even better would be a hook, like a command line switch, that tells LR to check the watched folder immediately. The EOS utility 'linked software' preference could be configured to call this hook, and would result in much snappier performance.
    Thanks for the help,
    Andris

    Hi Andris,
    It strikes me that you have hit the maximum buffer that the combination of the Windows OS, EOS Utility and Lightroom are capable of managing. As you will have read in the report, I was able to fine-tune the tethered import to a rate of 3 seconds per capture image. This was with an Intel iMac 2.8 GHz duo core running Windows XP with 4 GB RAM. So a little faster than your Windows machine, which would explain why my download tests were faster.
    Look at it this way. There is the usual buffer of up to 12 frames on the camera in raw mode, which when combined with the 2 seconds it takes to transfer say, 25MB data from the camera to the computer via USB 2. This means that you can shoot at a rate of 1 frame per second, but will soon hit the camera buffer first in around 20 seconds or so at that rate. it takes about a further 1 second for the files to auto import into Lightroom and as you point out, Lightroom appears to do this in bursts. How to speed that up, I don't know. What I do know is that any background activity will slow down the import. On a shoot this week I was busy building an export of high res JPEGs from the catalog as I was shooting more downloads and as one would expect, this did affect the performance.
    It would be nice if the tethered shooting could be made faster, but as far as I am aware, this combination is the fastest yet and certainly faster than downloading from a card. As for Capture One, I don't know yet if they have managed to get tethered shooting sorted out for the MkIII.

  • LR3 Tethered Shooting setting issue (image preview/loading)

    Hello everyone, I've got a LR3 Tether issue I hope can be resolved with your help. I recently completed an on-location event portrait session with great turnout. The only issue was the resulting lines that had formed, at times 10+ clients.
    My setup involved photographing the client, then having them review their photos immediately after to pick their choices. This was great until I had a line. LR3 in my setup automatically loads the most recent picture taken. At one point I tried to shoot a client, and have an assistant review photos with the previous client. This was disastrous in that every time I clicked the shutter, the computer would go from whatever photo was being reviewed and load the most recent shot. After trying this with one client, I went back to shoot, review, shoot next. Everyone was given the experience I wanted to provide, I'd just like to make it a little faster/smoother in the future.
    Question is: Can I change a setting in LR3 to stop the automatic loading/viewing of the most recent picture capture while tethered shooting?

    I am having the exact same issue. I had to revert back to lightroom 2 (which dosnt do this when you place images in a collection) and use DIY photobits for tethered capture as I was getting that f@$king annoyed with this bug. I have looked at every setting and nothing seems obvious. Hopefully its not engrained in the software.
    Im just about to send adobe an email or attempt to to find out if this was done to purposely piss people off.
    And as for people who leave feedback saying "i dont know the answer" dont bother leaving feedback, it is completely pointless.
    FogleBR if you find a solution to this problem then please contact me and likewise if i find a solution.
    wurd.

  • Tethered shooting for large amount of people

    Here's a little bit of background to my question. I have mainly used Lightroom for organizing imports from my Canon 6D and 7D along with developing them. The shoot I'm looking for help on, with these questions, is quite different from what I'm accustomed to. I am looking at taking portraits of a large number of people at a school fundraiser for a club where the lighting conditions are the same and the camera is on a tripod shooting with a tethered capture to a laptop. So if anyone could help with the following  questions it would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
    1. Is it possible in tethered capture to have the metadata panel open at the same time and be able to have someone type down their email address for each individual picture?
    2. Following question one, is it possible to email all the photos from the shoot individually to the recipients listed in the metadata?
    3. Can Lightroom automatically print photos after taken from a tethered shoot?
    4. Can Lightroom save specific tags in the metadata from a collection into a text file where they are listed along with the file name?
    A bit of help with any of the questions would be great, haven't attempted anything like this before and frankly haven't found anything that could help in the documentation for Lightroom. I do apologize for any confusing wording, my computer wasn't accessible from where I am so this was typed on a iPhone.

    The tethered capture floating tool panel is not modal - you can still use Lightroom's regular panels and tools while it's open, so working on a file while a session is active is no problem (provided a new shot doesn't arrive and auto-advance is turned on).
    Lightroom cannot directly email images to an address taken from the IPTC metadata, for that you would need either a plugin or an external application. I don't know of one currently available.
    Again, exporting metadata to a text file is a job for a plugin - but this time there are several available (such as http://www.photographers-toolbox.com/products/lrtransporter.php )

  • 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.

  • Canon 7D Mark II fails to connect with LR 5.7 for tethered shoot.

    Canon 7D2 fails to connect with LR 5.7 for tethered shoot.  
    The camera connection does work with Canon EOS Utility.
    LR sees the camera but fails to establish and maintain connection.  See small video clip to view the camera and computer behaviour while attempting to connect.
    https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/28457054/7D2%20tethered%20test.m4v
    I also have the Canon 5D3 and have no issues connecting with various software (EOS Utility, LR, Helicon Remote) on that computer.  I have a MacBookPro mid-2009 running OS X 10.8.5.  Lightroom, Camera Raw and EOS Utility are up to date, same goes for the 7D2 firmware.

    It usually takes many months and perhaps more than one version of LR before tethering is supported after raws are supported.  The first hurdle is for the camera manufacturer to release a new SDK with the camera supported, so Adobe can’t have tethering ready when raw support is because a camera isn’t added until after it is announced.  Canon has added the 7D.2 to their SDK about two weeks after the camera was available, so the ball is in Adobe’s court:

  • 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.

  • Setting and holding White balance during tethered shooting

    I came to Apeture from Capture One Pro.  I used Capture when working for a photo studio, when I started shooting for myself I went with the much more affordable Apeture.  I have been very happy with the workflow, but Apeture seems to be missing one of most basic settings for tethered shooting, setting and maintaining custom gray balance. I realize that I can shoot a frame with a gray card and white balance that frame, but the following frames revert to the pre-whitebalanced color settings.  In Capture One, I would balance my first frame to a gray card, even add a manual tweek, and all subsequent frames would follow the new color settings.  Perhaps there is a setting I have missed, some sort of automatic inheriting of the last frames adjustments.  I realize that it is easy enough to adjust my color settings after the fact, but my color is off during shooting, and clients are not always able to envision the finished product.  I really hope I'm missing something, because it's the most important feature to me for shooting tethered, right after the ability to shoot tethered.

    It forces this yucky uber warm white balance. Just to make sure it was not shot that way, I then selected "as shot". It immediatly went to the color of the shoot and looks great.
    When you select 'As Shot' do the Temp and Tint settings change? How about other settings, do any of them change? Just trying to determine what is actually causing the color change.
    Did you try creating a new preset with the same settings, and see how it behaves when you uncheck White Balance? The original preset file may have been corrupted (i.e. damaged) and resaves are not fixing it. If this doesn't resolve the problem then it is likely a bug with tethered mode operation. Please let us know.
