    last one… sorry…

    Camera control only affects mode, aperature, iso, and WB. no control over shutter or exp comp.

    Time lapse works fine.

    update me on the RAW situation when you get a chance.

    Thanks.. you’re doing an awesome job. hopefully the feedback helps.

    D300 and both XP Pro and Vista Home Premium.
    Works very well and I get around no nef display by shooting nef/basic jpg and client/myself see jpg immediately while nef is transferred to Faststone viewer. Kudos because I can now do my church directories w/D300 rather than 40D because this rivals Canon’s EOS Utility tethering for me.

    Aaaack, I spoke a bit too soon! Small thing, as I will be shooting in manual anyway, but I cannot get the program to make any negative exposure adjustments. However, it does over expose via selection in program, but makes no under exposure adj. in any mode/program.

    My findings this evening:

    Start CamControl
    Camera on
    Select Camera (D60 recognized)
    (Message: device may not support shutter releas from the computer…)
    M-mode (File type=raw)
    file name prefix: test
    Start tether
    Enable bracketing (leave shots 2, stops 1)
    Shutter release
    -> program stops responding
    Changing M to A mode on camera starts 2 pictures (different stops)
    ____________________________________________________________________________
    Start CamControl
    Camera on
    Select Camera (D60 recognized)

    A-mode (File type=raw)
    file name prefix: test
    Start tether
    Enable bracketing (shots 5, stops 1)
    Shutter release
    starts 6 pictures (same stops)

    Keep up your grat work ๐Ÿ™‚

    Loving the app! Just a couple of questions.
    1) Is there a way to disable my top deck panel light (always on) while tethered to my D300?
    2) My newly dnloaded version shows 5.1. Isn’t the latest 5.2?
    3) Still unable to dial in any negative EC via the program. I can, however, dial in + EC from within the program. Any other D300 users experiencing these anomalies?
    Thanks,
    Jim

    Downloaded 5.2 without a hitch. I’m only interested in being able to see the images on the screen as soon as I take them, and that works just fine – so I’m very happy! The rest of the users probably need more functionality, but for me, I can only say “Thanks”

    I have a Nikon D70s and it connects to my PC just fine. I can add and remove pictures just perfect. When I try to use your software (and others too I will admit) to computer control my camera, I get DEVICE MAY NOT SUPPORT SHUTTER RELEASE….
    And then THIS DEVICE DOES NOT SUPPORT IMAGE FORMAT.
    And then I get a NAME NOT FOUND script error if I touch any buttons.

    How can I tell where the problem is??
    (Thanks in advance)

    Court says:

    I was surprised to see that this works with my D3100! Even the Nikon cam control software doesn’t support the D3100. The only problem though is that it does not control the shutter or aperture! Expose Comp and white balance does work in the software. The D3100 does not support bracketing which I was a bit pissed about, ordered it on a whim and figured it had what I wanted to do HDR, like my ex girlfriends old old Nikon had. It’s a great camera and that’s my only concern with it. Can anyone send me info or tips at [email protected] ? I’m looking forward to having shutter and Ap control via PC so I can use the bracketing in the software!! Thanks all! (btw, I’m totally new to all this but am learning fast)

    Clay Riness says:

    I’ve been trying to get this working for the better part of a day now and I cannot make it work properly. I run XP service pack 3 and have a D300s. I’ve downloaded, installed, tried and removed a number of versions in hopes that something might work.

    The program will recongnize that camera without a problem. I can then take one picture which will display but none after that will display, even though they are being stored on the memory card in the camera. I’m jealous at the folks who posted “Works great for me!”

    I’m ’bout ready to give up. I sure hate the idea of paying $150 for a piece of Nikon software that should have come with the camera, especially since all I need is simple tethering. Ugh …

    Best laid plans, I guess. It was a noble attempt.

    galatas says:

    If the software recognises your camera that’s usually a sign that all is well.

    Try starting the software with the camera connected but not switched on. Only switch on when software has finished loading.

    If that isn’t successful try doing the opposite.

    How do I use the bracket mode in CameraControl 5.2 with a Nikon D70. D70 has bracket at 3 exposures, would like to do 5 or 7. Can CC5.2 do so? What settings do I use on D70 and how do I trip shutter withCC5.2?

    Hi ant thank you for all your hard work.I have posted a link to your site on the Nikon Cafe site as one of the guys there was looking for a good program that would tethering his camera & laptop.

    I thought tethering my D3000 would be difficult or impossible. A couple minutes after downloading I’m happily snapping tethered pics. Outstanding! Thank you for upgrading my D3000 so I can take bracketed exposures without manually fiddling with the camera settings. HDR here I come…

    Dave says:

    The D90 is permanently in PTP (peer to peer) mode. Unlike previous models like the D200 you cannot change between USB and PTP.
    I am also using Windows 7 64bit so that isn’t your problem.
    Try a different USB cable or re-install the DIY Photobits software.
    Sorry that’s all the help I can give you. As I said it works fine for me.

    PLEASE HELP !!! I am new at this digital era… Just asking if someone can tell me in an easy format , how to use diy to tether my nikon d3100 to my win 7 home premium laptop, in an easy to understand way . I am only interested in viewing right away, not controlling the camera. What cable I will need for that connection ? will I need to be connected to camera while downloading ? should I make a desktop icon ? and can I still control all functions by camera while tethered ? is their a step-by-step video or does the download walk you through it ? Im sure other questions will arise soon. Thank you….. frustrated computer illiterate REDNECK !!!!!!

    Dave says:

    1) Download and install the program to your laptop.
    2) Set your camera image quality to Jpeg or Jpeg+RAW
    3)) Connect your camera to the laptop using the standard USB cable that came with your camera.
    4) Start the program on your laptop (there is a desktop icon)
    5) Turn on your camera and you’re good to go. It really is that simple.

    If you have any problems , turn everything off , then try again.
