[...] Called tethered shooting. Canon cameras come with the software, free. You have to buy it for Nikon, but it is out there. I am not sure if newer Nikon scopes have the same kind of lamphouse as the old Fluophot. If I [...]

@Michael, Haven’t tried it but CamCap seems to be the only app to fit the bill. Beta and it sounds like the app developers are a little aggressive with their marketing but nothing else seems to support Nikon LiveView. If you do try it please let me know. My D90 and ASUS Transformer will thank you for it.

Matt, I’m looking at tethering my D90 to my Toshiba Trive tablet. Would like to use tablet as live view only, anything else would be a bonus. Have looked through Android app store, but everythings for Canon .

@Steven, For the combination of features you are looking for you may need to buy the official Nikon tethering software. it may have access to some unofficial SDK features that allow it to do what you want even though other software can’t. Haven’t tried it myself so can’t confrm that it includes all of these features though.

@Ralph, Not that I’m aware of. Mac systems might have some built in capability and I think WIA (Windows Image Acquisition) technology makes it possible to get images off the device, but any real tethering will require some software to be on your computer. It might be possible to find some portable software that will do this for you if you are worried about installing additional software on your system.

Is it possible to tether a dslr without any software installed? Or rather a dslr will be simply connected to a portable monitor or media player?

I’ve read most of the websites but most seem to be just viewers when tethering. I need to be able to control the camera as it will be mounted on a boom when shooting. I also need it to write to the memory card and not the computer/tablet. Most applications seem to be only able to write to the PC since Nikon’s SDK software does not include the ability to write to the card when tethered. I’m using Nikon D300. If anyone knows which combination of applications to use and are very reliable, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.

@Peter, I haven’t really looked into tethering on Mac at all as until recently I’ve never had access to one. Not sure which software will work best on a Mac. I had thought Sofortbild would be the answer. Is it still being updated?

I just found out about tethered software (thanks for that) and tried Sofortbild with my Nikon D90 but the liveview does not work. The camera shows PC when connected to the mac but does not allow liveview to operate at all. Do you know why this is? And do you which software will allow liveview?
Thanks again.
