p.1 #1 · Tethered Shooting Nikon & FujiFilm


Hello,

I have been shooting in my studio using a Nikon D70 and a Fujifilm S3 Pro and am getting tired of the compact flash card shuffle back and forth from the cameras to the Mac. I would like to shoot with both cameras tethered to the Mac directly and each image is downloaded automatically for use in Lightroom. I would appreciate any advice from those who may already be doing this.

Cheers Steve....

Great question Steve, I shoot Canon and often thought there has got to be a better way than doing the card shuffle.

Chuck I have just finished testing this with the Nikon D70 and it works perfectly. I am actually using my Macbook to tether the camera to in my studio room, and then I get the Macbook to wirelessly store the files on the Mac Pro in the other room running Lightroom. And as it should, Lightroom simply imports the images that appear in the watched folder, perfect!

But, sadly this does not work for my Fujifilm S3 Pro which can only do this by Firewire, and the Nikon Camera Control Pro will not talk to it. So, it looks like a new Nikon body is on the way just to get this functionality! Such is life!

That would be nice but overkill for what I shoot, it is looking like a D80 actually!

Since you are in the studio, how about a used D2H or a used D2X?

Actually, you know a D40x would work just as well in the studio as the D80 Just saying.

Problem with the D40 is no built in focus motor, otherwise it is perfect for my needs.....
