I'm not sure, but look under the " File" section to see if the feature is there.

I just went through this thinking I needed tethering. What I really needed was a bigger screen to view the just shot images. My Nikon's all have a HDMI output and I was able to get a good deal on 22" inch led TV with 1080 HD.

Between the camera settings, the MANY different software options and cables (those included with the camera are too short) it was frustrating. Stepping back, looking at what I required got me to a sane solution.

My Nikon D300 had the best setup but Nikon decided to "improve" things and the D600 and D800 work much different.

Yes, LR 3 does indeed have tethering.

Here are two videos showing you how to set up a photobooth and how to automate it through lightroom

Lightroom does tether but it transfers very slowly if you are shooting action like a dance routine. I have found it necessary to use Nikon Camera Control Pro 2 get the direct to computer performance needed for action photography.

I used to own a Canon t1i that would tether. However it would only do it with the Canon software because the camera has to also have tether firm ware so the two can "talk". Without that firm ware, at least in my experience, it won't work.

Two points to ponder, at a dance recital I can't fathom a need to tether. The audience would be interested in the recital and not the photos until after the dance is over. If it was me watching my child dance I would find the computer screen popping out the photos very distracting. Out in the lobby I would love to see all the photos but you could do a standard transfer as soon as the last dance ends and still beat the throngs of people. On the other hand you could use a wireless option so all photos are ready to show as soon as the last bow is taken.

In the interest of speed, the weakest link is the space between camera and computer which is usually a USB cord or firewire. But that is speed restrictive. So how does your NCCP2 do it's thing? Wireless, wired, or telepathically? Just curious.

If the camera has the firmware built in then LR will tether. If it doesn't then you need the proprietary software. My old 10D has to connect to the Canon software to be tethered (but why bother :?: ) from the 20D on up LR has no problems with tethering. I can't speak for the amateur line of Canons or other makes and models.
