I had a similar problem with my D5100. My solution turned out to be:
1. Going to the File menu / Plug-in-manager. 2. In the list on the left, find Nikon tether plugin. 3. Click in that item and click on Enable 4. Should get a green indicator next to "Nikon tether plug-in.
At the risk of not buying American I have used ArtsCow.com. I have also used LR and Blurb but I have found less flexibility with blurb in regard to layout.
ArtsCow is based in Kowloon somewhere. It seems to be marketed towards the scrap booking crowd as it has a lot of background patterns and other "clip Art" which I don't use (the clip art stuff). I started using them for travel books and they had some travel themed background art for the cover which I liked and keep using to be consistent. Blurb seemed to be more restrictive in terms of layout. ArtsCow allows free size and placement of photos and text. It's not perfect but more flexible. My 2 cents worth :-D I haven't used ShutterFly.
Bill or anyone, Along those lines if I export a .jpg using the choice of JPEG is the quality going to be reduced a second time? I understand that any LR editing is lost when using Original.
I dont know anything about the lens or b&H (except they {B&H} are OK in my book) BUT I occasionally get the "flash warning thing" when I am browsing the UHH site digest. I can only guess it is triggered by one of the ads that show up between posts. It doesn't do it very but maybe one time per visit. ?? I have just been hitting delete which takes me back to the email.
Finally got my camera back from cleaning and found a resolution to the tether problem I was having. Today I was reading a thread about blury pictures and found out about a LR plug-in to check for your focus point. BUT you ask how does that fix tethered shooting. Well...when I went into plug-in manager to add Show focus points I noticed Nikon Tether plug-in was disabled :oops: Seems like I never thought of the function being a plug-in I just "assumed" it was built in function. As Homer Simpson would say doh!! I tried most of the suggestions before this happy accident. Thanks to all who helped me!
You have to select the camera (type) first and be sure the camera is on
I have checked all menu items and find no place to enter a camera type. Also I checked Adobe LR help file and found the D5100 is supported with Win 7 and found a list of things to try as suggested by jaime. camera is out for sensor cleaning today so I will try them tomorrow. BTW I bought a gel stick and after 4 cleanings in a row there were still 4 or 5 spots that would not come off :-( . Camera shop is charging $60 to clean and check cam & Lens. The Gel stick took a lot off but not all. I was concerned there may be some other damage to the sensor so checking to be sure. joecosentino... will try the cable rfreudenheim... will try the blank card Thanks to all!
Why not make life easy and pull the memory card and transfer to a file on your PC? Never do things the hard way if there is a simple way. Perhaps all you need to do is connect the camera and reboot the PC with camera already attached.
My thought is to see the image on the PC before taking the shot. I'l try the reboot, Thanks.
I have been reading many previous posts on this topic since my initial post and have bookmarked several sites to read. Thanks for such a valuable resource!! :thumbup:
I am interested in doing some stop motion video with my D5100 and LR 5.6. I have searched B&H for the correct cable and asked them which one I need to do this but their answer was the same USB cable that came with the camera for downloading pictures to LR which works fine for that function. However when this cable is connected, LR tether selection says no camera connected. LR looks like it is ready to go otherwise. I have checked several resources but all I have read seem to indicate that it should work. Just now thought that I should search this site but as this is my 1st post I don't want to abort it. I have been a "lurker" here for some time before I actually registered and have learned much from all of you. Thanks in advance!
