Lightroom :: Applescript To Trigger Shutter Of Tethered Camera
Oct 22, 2012I'm trying to come up with an Applescript to trigger the shutter of a tethered camera. I'm running Lightroom v4.2 on a Mac with OSX 10.7.5.

View 5 RepliesSetup:
Windows 7 Ultimate 32 Bits
Lightroom 3.3(just updated to the latest version)
Nikon D700 / D3s (supported according to this)
Problem:
When I connect any of my cameras (D700 / D3s) to my computer and fire up LightRoom and try to do a Tethered shooting, I get a "No Camera Detected" on the tethered shooting bar.
Notes:
- The cable works and the Windows driver works as my cameras are detected by Windows, show up in the devices list and I can browse the CF card content from the computer, so it is not a cable problem. It might be a driver issue with lightroom...
- USB Mode: the D700 and D3 series only have PTP mode, no USB Mass storage (MSC Mode), so suggestions to turn on USB Mass Storage mode are just not going to work.
- Both the D700 and D3 are listed as compatible cameras for tethered shooting in Adobe release notes
I am a mac user with 10.7 OS. I recently upgraded to LR5.3 and thought to try out the tethered shooting feature with my Nikon D300. In the ‘Tethered Capture Settings’ window it shows the naming format as a DNG file. I only import image files in their native ‘NEF’ format though I am aware of the advantages of ‘DNG’ files.Anyway I noticed the captured images were named as ‘nef’ files with its standard sidecar xmp file. Note the lower case lettering for 'nef'. I am not able to import these files to my external HD because these images were grayed out in the Import window. However if I changed the format names to upper casing, NEF, these images are visible for import.
How can I avoid the extra step of having to the change the casing of the letters and have the captured images in the tethered shoot all have the correct upper casing instead?
I've been experiencing very rapid battery drain in my Nikon D90 when shooting tethered into a laptop running LR3.x under Windows7 32-bit. Is this to be expected because of the constant transfer of images across the USB connection?

When I connect the camera to the computre and select Tethered Capture, I see the camera name in the tethered capture window, but the values for the settings are "--". When I mouse over the shutter button, the curson becomes a gloved hand with pointed finger and if I click on the shutter button it changes shade, but does not fire. When I look in the view finder, "Busy" flashes and I can't use the camera shutter.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm just trying out LR5. I've watched vidoes where in LR4 you can setup a slideshow to play from a folder, and while the slideshow is playing you can take new photos from a tethered camera and it will automatically add it to the slideshow.
In LR5, on my computer (Mac), the incoming photo seems to get stuck and does not make it into the slideshow. I have to stop the slideshow, and restart it to see the new incoming photo taken by tethered camera. I need this function for an event, so I'm just wondering whether I'm doing something wrong, or whether it is a bug in LR5?
I've selected the mode "Use: All Filmstrip Photos". What I've observed is that while playing the slideshow without going fuill screen, a newly taken photo from the tethered camera appears as a white tile, but then the thumbnail contents do not change. When I stop the slideshow, the photo then gets "Developed" and then it will be in the slideshow the next time I play it.
I just installed Light room 5 and try to use the tether funtion from Light room 5. But it shows "No Camera Detected" I checked the USB cable and it is connected correctly. Is there any solutions to fix that? Or Lr 5 does not suport Nikon D3000?

I have updated my lightroom to 4.3 release afterwards and tried to export again. Afterwards I established a copy of my book in lightroom and tried again - no response either. What do I need to do, to trigger a pdf export?
View 1 Replies View RelatedFor some reason this lens isn't recognised when one choses the 'Enable Profile" box; yet if one perserveres though the Make/Model dropdowns , the profile is there. Is it perhaps because the lens is sub-named Zeiss? The system recognises my other E lenses at the click of the box. Odd. Lr4.3 on OS X 10.8.2
View 2 Replies View RelatedProblem: Connects and works once in 30 or 40 tries. Sometimes shows the camera connection and sometimes it will not. Have changed cables, wiggled cables, used different USB ports, and anything else I could think of to do. When it works, the Tethered Capture window does show all the pertinent info and the shutter release button works. Most of the time, it will at least recognize the camera, but none of the settings and will not download to the computer/Lightroom (as seen below). The camera will shoot and record the image to the internal card... just not to the computer/Lightroom.
I have since run maintenance programs, rebooted, changed to 32 bit, etc......

4.1 Tethered Shooting with 5d MK III?When will this be available?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have OSX 10.7.2 loaded on my MacBook Pro. All was well prior to Lion , but now I find that my 5D will not shoot tethered on the MBP
The software recognises the camera but will not fire it remotly or download image files when the canera is fired from the camera release. My 1Dslll works just fine
My iMac still has 10.6.8 and that works fine with the 5D.
Lightroom is Version 3.5
If I can't get it to work with the 5D I'll just have to reinstall Snowy.

View 5 Replies View RelatedWe shooted tethered into LR 4.3 using EOS Utility. Every attempt to shoot tethered FROM LR 4.3 has met with failure. I reread all the threads concerning this issue and found none included a solution. Is there one or has this functionality been dismissed? LR 4.3 is running on Macs with OS 10.8.2 and 10.7.5.
What we are trying to do is shoot with 5D Mark IIs tethered with EOS Utility and 5D Mark IIIs tethered with Lightroom at the same time. We have not been succesful getting the Mark IIIs to tether at all. We are trying to avoid using Sneakerware through CF cards and readers. Workflow time is critical.
By reading comments herein, one is led to believe that LR 5.3 provides tethered capture support for the Nikon D-610. Well, I have a MacBook Pro and OSX, and beg to differ. I cannot, for the life of me, get LR 5.3 to recognize my D-610.
what steps I need to take to get the software to recognize the camera?
If this camera is not supported, when will the D-610 be added? LR 5.3 already supports the 610's predecessor, the D-600; this camera had such a serious dust/sensor problem that Nikon quickly introduced the 610, which is virtually identical but without the sensor problem.
I am trying to get tethered shooting to work on Lightroom 4.3, but I keep getting the "no camera detected" message. The OS detects the camera fine and I can even import images from the camera using lightroom, but tethered shooting just refuses to work. It used to work in Lightroom 3 but has stopped working since I upgraded.
Here are the details:
Computer: Windows 8, x64, i7, 16GB, all updates installed
Lightroom: v4.3 all updates installed
Camera: Canon 5DMII, latest firmware installed (v2.1.2)
USB cable etc is fine since the computer can see the camera just fine.
Canon's EOS utility lets me tether just fine
Have tried restarting computer, camera, lightroom, etc.
If not supported for LR3, would it be available for LR4?Right now, I am using Aperture for all of my tethered capture, then importing to LR3.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am attempting to use LR (latest version) on a MacBook Pro (literally brand new) for tethered shooting from a Nikon D3s. I can get it all working but mid shoot I will get an error message about no camera connected. I have read the faq here and yes if I do restart everything I can start capturing again but thats a major disruption. I also observe (but I am new to mac so I may not be understanding what I am seeing) what appears to be another picture program attempting to start up. I shut it off and get back to LR but again I will find that the capture will stop for no apparent reason.
Is there some way to insure that there is no other picture program getting in the way of LR? Is there something else I am not doing or need to do to insure LR can reliably work in a session without constant restarts?
I was under the false impression that Lightroom 5 would work with my Nikon D90. This does not seem to be true..

View 2 Replies View RelatedI use a brandnew macbook pro with lightroom 5 and a Canon 60D. I used have a windows pc with lightroom 4 and tethered shooting was working ok with this camera. Now I can start tethered capturing and use the button to make a picture. But than the process stops. Lightroom starts importing but can't finish this process. The cables are not the problem since I can use the remote capture function of Canon's software. I tried all usb ports. Than as an alternative I tried to make a watched import folder. The camera puts the pictures correctly in the folder and the auto import is turned on, but failes to move the pictures from the watched folder. I don't know why but I have the feeling these two problems are connected.

View 4 Replies View RelatedLightroom 4.1 is not seeing my Nikon D700 in tethered mode.
(I'm on a big Mac Pro running 10.6.8.)The Nikon has the latest firmware.
I have started the computer, the camera and the software in different sequences always getting the same result---No Camera Recognized.
I need to shoot in tethered capture mode and have found that my D90 in not fully supported in this mode. A D7000 is fully supported, but will cost somewhat more than I had hoped to spend. The new D3200 would be an excellent match for our needs (dental photography). My question: Do this camera is supported in tethered capture and if not, does Adobe plan on adding it as a compatible camera anytime soon?
View 1 Replies View RelatedYesterday I did a tethered portrait shoot into LR and at one point LR failed to capture some images. Therefore, after the shoot, I imported the CF-card using my card reader and ticked the "don't import suspected duplicates". Still LR imported all images and whenever it found a duplicate, instead of ignoring it, LR just renamed the file with "-2" at the end of the file name. This doesn't look right to me.
Is this a bug, should LR function like this or is there something that I've missed? Shouldn't LR at least ask me if I want to rename, overwrite or ignore?What can I do to avoid this issue in the future?
