Lightroom :: Canon EOS 5D Tethered To Mac?
Jan 5, 2012
Problem: 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......
Equipment: Mac 2.2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with Mac OS X 10/7.2 using Lightroom 3 (with all updates including Camera Raw), 4 gigs ram, 500 gig hard drive,with 200 gigs open.

I downloaded and installed LR 4.3 update to my Mac running OS X 10.8.2. I have no problem importing the RAWs from my Canon 6D by plugging in the SD card into the SD card slot in my MacBook Pro.However it appears that when I try to start tethered capture in LR, my camera keeps saying that it's "BUSY" and won't work at all.I was just wondering does this mean that tethered capture for Canon 6D is not supported in LR 4.3?

It looks as though LR4 won't recognize the new Canon 1D x for tethered shooting.

I am trying to practice shooting tethered for an upcoming shoot. I am unable to get Lightroom and my Canon 70D to connect. I receive the dialog box shown below several seconds after attempting to connect. I went through all the steps on the "Troubleshooting tethered capture in Lightroom" and can shoot tethered using Canon's software. I am using Lightroom 5.3 on a MacBookPro 13 inch with 16 gb ram running system 10.9.1

The tethered capture doesn't seem to be working in lightroom 4.1 RC with the canon 5D mk3. The camera is detected with the correct name, but no camera parameter is recognized, and the camera can't take any photo.
I've experienced this both on Windows 7 64bits and Mac OS X. Importing canon 5D mk3 pictures works fine.

I have shot tethered through various versions of Lightroom with various cameras with mixed results. With each new version of LR, it seems that shooting tethered becomes more prone to crashes and in LR 5, I have found that the transfer of images is so slow as to be unusable. I recently had a shoot where I used LR 5 for the first time. The transfer of images was so slow that, after trying disk doctor to repair the disk and restarting the computer several times, I finally switched back to LR 4 and found that the transfer, while still prone to its odd temperaments, was much much faster than LR 5.
While LR 4 seems to be much better than LR 5 for shooting tethered, it is still so temperamental. If the camera sits for more than a few minutes without activity, LR no longer accepts images from the camera. I then have to shut down LR and restart it, making sure to have the camera off until LR is relaunched and tethering is turned on once again. If I do it in the wrong order, it doesn't work. During a shoot, it is maddening to have to constantly restart LR 4.
Looking for making LR 4 less temperamental and LR 5 functional when tethering?

I was successfully shooting tethered using Lightroom 4.3 (PC laptop with Windows 7) and my Canon 5D Mark III, however when I disconnected the cable I was no longer able to see anything on the back of the camera, no image playback, no menu, no live view, nothing. How do I recover the functionality of the camera's back screen. I tried removing the battery for a while, replacing the battery, taking out the memory card. Don't know how to "reset" the camera. Note the top display on the camera and the view finder display work fine, I can change settings with my dials. Was working in Manual Exposure mode, and also tried Aperture Priority. If I reconnect to the laptop I can still work in tethered mode, but after disconnecting the camera back is still dead.
Was I somehow supposed to disconnect the camera from tethered capture before disconnecting the cable?

I 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.

We 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.

I 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 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.

Lightroom 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?

Yesterday 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?

First, I would like to limit this thread to hardware bottlenecks and not program efficiencies and bugs.
Background: I will be purchasing a Nikon D800 in the coming weeks and like to shoot tethered. When using tethererd shooting with my D7000 over USB2, I find the lag from taking the photo to getting it on screen as I shoot agrivating and would like to know if this slowness is solvable in hardware upgrades. The D7000 supports USB2.0 and I know the D800 has USB 3.0.
I assume that USB 2.0 is the major bottleneck in general for most camera models doing tethered shooting, so as an initial experiment I am going to try a USB 3.0 adapter in my ExpressCard slot to see what the USB difference is with my D800. The rest of my laptop is a Dell M2400 with 8 Gigs of ram, Core2 Duo T9550, and which also has a Nvidia Quadro FX370M which may not be latest and greatest, but should not be too shabby either as its a workstation platform. As for sharing the USB pathway, I am jusing a eSata external drive for image backup upon import so the USB controler is only used for the camera while connected.
What would you say the top 3 (laptop) hardware bottlenecks are for LR4 tethered shooting to imporove the time to get an image from camera to the current image displayed in LR4?
