[@fedesammartino]

Is there anybody that use Nikon Z8 usb-c Tethering? also your camera don't let u see shooted pictures while u are connected with cable? the preview button seems disabled and also the preview menu is darken... can anybody help me to solve this??

[@NickDelDuca]

The Z8 is closer to the R6 speeds if you connect it to a 5ghz wireless network instead of using the direct connect wifi which only uses 2.4ghz.

Would you release an Android version sometime in the future? (Please do)

[@CaptureOne]

Hi Victor, Our mobile app for iPad and iPhone is being developed reusing our macOS code base and developing an Android app would require a whole new codebase and architecture, which is unfortunately very difficult with our current set of resources. However, that doesn't mean we aren’t listening - we’re always open to new ideas and developments, and we would encourage you to make a feature request here: captureone.co/improvemobile

[@ao_aviator]

What cable are you using for the tether?

[@CaptureOne]

Hi AO - It's noted in the description. "Area51 USB-C to USB-A tether cable "

[@ao_aviator]

Thanks didn’t see it on there 😅

[@jeremyhendersonphotography]

Is this wireless shooting using the camera network, or both camera and iphone connected to an outside network?

[@CaptureOne]

Hi Jeremy, your camera and iPhone have to be connected to the same outside network. Alternatively, you can use your iPhone or iPad as a hotspot and connect the camera that way.

Can’t get my R6 mark ii to connect via OTG cable or canon usb cable using iphone 15

Hi will the Panasonic G9II be supported?

[@CaptureOne]

Hi there, Right now, we don't have this in the works, but we'd love for you to give a thumbs-up to this camera support request (support.captureone.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/13649817508765-Panasonic-Lumix-G9-II). Your vote helps our developers know how requested this is.

[@alastairlaidlaw2922]

Wish the Panasonic Lumix S1R was included in the 580!

[@CaptureOne]

Hi Alastair, to clarify, do you mean tethering support? If yes, at the moment we have no plans to implement tethering for Panasonic cameras. To implement tethering for Panasonic cameras, we would need help and support for Panasonic. So, currently we encourage you to reach out to Panasonic with your request.

[@alastairlaidlaw2922]

Yes tethering.Thank you for your reply. I think Panasonic have no intention of assisting in this matter. I have managed work arounds to make it work. Please continue the amazing things you are doing with Capture One ❤

How long does it usually take until a wired connection to the camera is established? I saw a video on your channel in which some Sony camera was used and it was shown in the C1 nearly instantly when the cable was connected. My Canon R5 however takes a while until it is recognized by the app. Is this camera specific?

[@CaptureOne]

Hi Sebastian, we'd say it usually takes below 1-2 seconds for the camera to connect. However, if there are a lot of images on the SD-Card, it takes linearly longer the more pictures there are. So, if you have no need to save to a card while tethering, for example, just take it out to speed up the connecting time.

[@sebastianreiprich3747]

@@CaptureOne Thank you so much! I just took both cards out of the camera and it popped up instantly when I connected it!

Why shoot into an iPhone?

[@CaptureOne]

Hi Altman, shooting into an iPhone offers several advantages, for example, greater freedom of movement.
