Nikon Software

[Darren Turner]

does anyone know of software that will allow me to take pics directly from computer when Nikon D7100 is connected to computer via cable and so i can see on screen what the camera can see before it takes the shots. Making a live view image appear on screen.............hope that makes sense.

I know canons own software that camera with my old 7D could do this........

Regards

Not tried this but just found this: http://nikonrumors.com/2013/05/11/free-open-source-tethering-software-for-nikon-dslr-cameras.aspx/

I believe you can also tether on LR

I use Camera Control Pro and it will do just what you want (it can be a bit quirky though). CaptureOne Pro from Phase One also supports tethered shooting using the D7100. You could try a demo version to see if it gives you live-view and the control you want. Another option (if you still have your iPad) is to use Camranger - Bob Rigby sell them and I'm sure Andy could help with one.

a camranger is on my list! ... few quid once you add the ipad into the mix though!

True. I took my one in from home (V1 I think) as I wasn't using it and they use it in the lab a lot for the D800 mounted on a fluorescence microscope. There's a bit of a lag in focusing but it isn't bad and is a useful alternative to standard tethering.
