Nikon Camera Control Pro 2 Alternatives Free And Not

Ive been running it in Compatibilty mode for Windows Vista and works well enough I HIGHLY recommend this software. ().

Shooting tethered gives you the ability to attach a (long) USB cable to your camera and then to your computer and with the proper settings have the shots import into Lightroom as you take them.

This is especially useful in a studio situation for those times when you want to check the lighting and have a larger image on screen than the LCD on the back of your camera.

You must use a piece of software to bring the images into your computer and dump them into a folder.

If youre a Canon shooter the software you need comes with your DSLR.

However, if youre a Nikon user, the only app (lowest cost one) that Nikon provides is called Camera Control Pro 2 (CCP2).

It has more features than youre likely to use if all youre doing is shooting tethered into Lightroom.

Sure more features are nice, but those features come at a steep price.

CCP2 goes for 152.99.

Considering that you can get Lightroom for only 260.99, CCP2 is more than half the price of Lightroom.

I just did a studio shoot yesterday, and gave Sofortbild is a donationware app.

So technically its not really FREE as you should donate to the author if you use the app.

The interface is clean and gives you quite a bit of useful information about your camera settings without getting in your way.

You can also control the cameras shutter release from the Sofortbild app if you wanted to use it as a remote control.

If youre looking for a Windows solution, check out TetherPro for 49.99.

I havent used this app, but it does look like it has what you would want at a fraction of the cost of CCP2.

I would definitely agree with you, this app does seem snappier, even when importing large NEF files.

My next question for you is: Do you have any recommendations for any looooong USB cables Thanks and keep up the great work.

See this post for details about free and not so free alternatives available.

I am about to start teaching a small class and this will be very useful.

Just connect the camera to USB (I tried with a D90) and start the tethering from the file menu.

In a few seconds after the image has been shoot, it appears on the monitor.

Also, and that was the reason why I even got to it, it works with Windows 7 RC (at this point I usually start ranting about how Nikon hasnt managed to come out with a 64bit driver yet) Anyway, its at.

If you would like a copy of TetherPro to review just let me know.

I just did 43 groups in two days with virtually no problems.

Would be a great Christmas present if it were fully compatible with Windows 7 really soon.
