Tethering software for a D7100
Mar 23, 2016 06:39:00 #
Yes, you can use Lightroom in tethered mode on the D7100 or you can use Nikon's Camera Control Pro which is a full blown tethering software. I personally prefer Camera Control Pro from Nikon for tethered shots because it gives better access to all of the camera's features from the computer rather than just a couple. I can change Shutter, Aperture, ISO, etc. It also works in Wi-Fi with those cameras that have a Wi-Fi attachment (NOTE: Camera Control Pro 2 only works with supported Nikon Cameras). But I can do about anything with it on my camera and software that I can do holding the camera. With Lightroom, my options for adjustment are limited.

Digi cam control works great on my D7000. I can focus right from the keyboard and take the shot as well. Much better than Nikon's product.
I'm going to give it a shot..... just ordered the cable....

I used Digicam on my 5200, worked ok, but a bit slow, not sure if it was the laptop or the software.
I'm on board..... (love your Avatar!)

Based on the feedback so far, it looks like the control features in Lightroom are limited compared to other options like Digicamcontrol..... However, this all remains to be seen. I do have Lightroom & will probably try it as well.

Digicam seems to have the most support so far..... Just installed it....

I do it through LR using a 15ft. Tether Pro 5 pin USB Mini B cable With Nikon bodies.
Could that be the 8 pin cable?

ControlMyNikon also has the feature for taking picture for Focus stacking. I used this and found it useful.

There's an app called Control My Nikon. I haven't used it, though.

I use Helicon Remote with my MacBook. Helicon Remote is the "sister software" with Helicon Focus which is focus stacking software. Right now, I've gravitated toward Zerene because it produces a bit cleaner stacks.
If you are just using it as a substitute for live view, I would try something else like "ControlMyNikon".

The Helicon software is only $75. But is this the same as the "focus stacking" software from Helicon? That would be a nice 2 in 1 product to allow focus stacking AND tethered shooting.

It looks like they're separate products.

You might want to look into Controlmynikon software... Free 14 day fully functional trial... Very reasonable price... I have enjoyed just a fraction of the capabilities of the program...

I use Control my Nikon. I believe they also have a version for Canon.

For Canon, the EOS Utility (on the disk that comes with your camera) supports tethering with remote live view control of focus, shutter, aperture , ISO and other functions.
There are several free and cheap programs that support live view tethering for Nikon.
LightRoom will only show you the picture after you shoot and it automatically imports.
