Nikon D4: How to shoot tethered

[@RaymundJovySugay]

Thank you for sharing how to "tethered" a D4 and how informative you showed what else is needed. 👏👏👏

I didnt know this could be done before this video. Im kind of new to the photography, specially studio photography. Thank you for sharing!

[@frederikboving]

Glad it was helpful! 🙏🏻If you want to see tethered shooting demonstrated, I can recommend Daniel Norton. He has made some very illustrative videos on the subject. 👌

@@frederikboving Thank you! I'll check it out!

Keep on making D4 videos! I love to watch them even though I don't have one 😂 Happy with my D7500 but have always dream of getting a big pro body. But most likely going to upgrade to mirrorless in the future.

🤣 Thank you Faris - will do my best!

That's pretty cool. I didn't know that was possible. This would be great for ebay listings. It will really speed up the work flow! Thanks

Hello Frederick, thank you for your contribution to the Nikon D4 of a great legend. I really enjoy watching your videos. But why are you still using cables? The WT-5 would make the D4 internet-capable. The D4 could then also be controlled remotely via the iPad or cell phone. It's a fantastic camera that hasn't lost its relevance! Warm greetings. Is it true? I hear a Danish accent? 😊

[@frederikboving]

Yes indeed - a Danish accent 🇩🇰🙂The wt-5 would cost more than my D4, so that is one good reason for not using it. And I mostly need the functionality for portrait shooting and then a cable works fine. And it works with my Canon cameras too. So the cost/benefit ratio for the cable for my needs is hard to beat imho 🤗

Thanks for the cool hint - I wasn't aware of this functionality. How long does it take to transfer a RAW file to the computer? (it looks as if something was cut out of the video)

[@frederikboving]

It's fast. A few seconds at most is my guess.

[@antonf.4179]

I tried it using an Ethernet cable - for fun, just because the d4 has a port 🙂 Takes around 2-3 seconds

Do you know of cheaper software?

[@frederikboving]

NX tether is Nikons software and it is free but I'm afraid it doesn't support the D4 according to the specs sheet although I haven't tried it.

@@frederikboving i will check it out. I use d4 mainly for sports. But will try my d750.
