![]() ![]() ![]() In other words, the whole point of shooting tether is so we can avoid having to review on the small LCD screen. ![]() So that's why LCD review is not available since it is not necessary when shooting tether. So after each shot, I review the image on my 15" screen before I go on to the next shot. The whole reason product photographers and model shoots in studios shoot tether is so you DON'T have to use the tiny LCD to review the last shot but to review it on the big computer screen. If you have a slow computer, it make take longer as the image has to write to the hard disk. Start tether mode, shoot and the image appears on the computer screen either in Grid View, Loupe View or even Develop view. I use a D5000 or D5100 or sometimes D7100. I shoot tether only and with Lightroom 5.4 - that's all I do as I'm doing product photography. Oh, then it should just appear - takes less than a second. I use lightroom 5 and I have capture one but I'm not very comfortable with that yet. Just like how you would normally check a picture if you weren't shooting tethered. If I want to look at my lcd on the camera and review the picture I just took or the previous picture. Anyone can view the live shoot as long as they have URL LR generates although they'll need a (free) Adobe account to apply ratings, flags and comments.I'm talking about after I take the shot. However you tether - you can also opt to have Lightroom sync the images to Lightroom web, so clients can rate the images themselves anywhere on the Intarweb. This does away with all of the contact sheet, back and forth with the client after the shoot - if they "oo", I mark it, and when the shoot is over, I already have the shot selections. I do this to get the stars, comments and other flags I've put on the images during the shoot. I don't use these jpegs after the shoot, however I do save the shoot out as a catalogue without the images and merge the data into the main catalogue after the import of the raw files off the cards is complete. This of course has the advantage that there are no wires for me to trip over. Lightroom monitors the import folder and displays them. It transmits basic small jpegs to the laptop in the studio. I know a lot of people say they can't get these to work: mine has worked like a charm for 4 years. My solution for previews in the Studio now though is an old X2 8GB EyeFi card. Maybe the D750 is different to the older D800/D810s that I use. I wonder how they've done that, as it's the camera firmware that decides whether to save to the card or not. However I still don't tether because of the not saving to the card issue - my workflow involves cards fed into my developing workstation - I don't want to have to get the laptop out, fire that up and copy stuff from it over WiFi so I can import into my main LR catalogue, so Smartshooter looks very interesting. Just increasing the cross section on the wires fixed it for Lightroom. It also automates focus stacking which is really cool. It was an Adobe issue though, as those same cables worked fine with Control My Nikon, a £30 remote control app that I use for product shots as it allows full control of the camera from the laptop and provides focus peaking on live view too. ![]() I'd tried powered repeaters before that and none of them worked with Lightroom. My tethering problems with LR mostly went away when I swapped to a fatter cable from Tethertools. ![]()
