Shooting Tethered With Capture One Pro: How To Get Started

[@KevinVelghe-sq5wu]

Disconnecting the cable and moving freely is such a great advantage!!!

[@DanCantero]

It's such a simple feature and yet super useful.

[@JohnyByrne]

Cheers, this overview and demonstration saved me when working on an exhibition workshop project with the public👍

[@DanCantero]

Awesome! I’m glad it was helpful.

[@irenedp4947]

Thanks. I had not shot tethered with C1 earlier but I recently acquired a used Phase One camera and have shot just one test session this past week. Your video filled almost all the gaps (the one it didn’t was how to control focus stacking from the computer, but I can do that from the camera).

[@DanCantero]

Glad you found the video useful. Good point on the focus stacking. I've added it to my "to do " video list. Dan

[@dandipalma8687]

Excellent, Dan! This was clear, well presented, and facilitative on all levels. Keep them coming. Thank you.

[@DanCantero]

Thanks, will do!

[@MrTanker10a]

This is a great video on TETHERING as an alternate method. The creation of the personal Tab is AWESOME...Thank you!😎

[@DanCantero]

Glad you like it!

[@tzachikraus]

Thank you very much for the video, it is very clear. A question: I work with Lightroom Classic and was thinking of switching - does tethering work with two cameras connected simultaneously?

[@arturosylar2232]

This is amazing! I’m learning about Capture One bc I’m a photo assistant and lighting technician so this video will make my skills grow so much! I just have one question that I missed. Basically, when you create a folder to save the images, Capture One creates the folder into the hard drive, right? Thanks a lot!

[@DanCantero]

Hey Arturo! I’m glad you enjoyed the video. You are correct. Or you can create the folder separately and then just point capture one to it. Hope that makes sense.

[@vinodkatara8310]

Dan, you have created an amazing video that enables anyone to set up their camera with the Capture One app. Having said that, need your advice on how to set up the option to save my photos both on my XQD card and Laptop. I have a Nikon Z6 and Capture One 22 (Windows 11). Currently, all photos are saved only into my Laptop.

[@DanCantero]

Hi, it all depends on the camera you are using. For most cameras, C1 will not let you save to the card. Only to the computer. On some cameras there is a setting that you can change that will save to both. Check this article to show you how to do it. support.captureone.com/hc/en-us/articles/15108145393565-Saving-to-Memory-Card-and-Capture-One#:~:text=Certain%20camera%20brands%2C%20like%20Canon,or%20both%20when%20shooting%20tethered.

[@MrTanker10a]

NIKON Z7ii Tethered to my Mac Studio with both cards installed in their respective slots gives the following message: Capture ONE Pro will give a message: "Camera Not Available"... My NIKON D850 yielded the same message to me before and I have totally forgot about that. I had to look it up which I have found the answer in the Capture ONE Pro Community. That explains what Dan Cantero was explaining in his video.

[@philanderearglephotography1912]

You can set your camera up to save the I'mages to the SD card.

[@DanCantero]

Hi Phil, yes you can as long as you have one of the supported cameras. In the old days (just a couple of years ago) you didn't have the option so its really good that they've started to implement this for some cameras.

[@lydmo8287]

Which camera do you use? I'm on a Canon R5 and I usually shoot with two cards, CFE and SD, both RAW. Having the option to save to my card while shooting tethered is important. Thanks.

[@daviddavis5631]

Excellent video. Very Helpful. The idea that you can disconnect the tether cable, continue to shoot while mobile, then reconnect and down load the raw files is great process. But in my case I have a D800, Capture One 22 Pro and reconnecting the cable did not download the additional images. What release of software did this feature start?

[@pellegrinipellegrini]

have you put your sd card in your camera?

[@MeireKT]

Thank you for this really useful video!

[@DanCantero]

You're very welcome!

[@ChuckMarteau]

Can someone explain to me why I cannot change either the shutter speed, the ISO or the F stop in the dialog box? Everything seems to be locked except for the shutter button. I have to change either one of these features on-camera. I am using Capture One 20 for Fuji. Thanks in advance.

[@DanCantero]

Does it only happen when connected to Capture one? Also, make sure that the camera isn't locked. Fuji cameras can be lock and unlocked by holding down the menu button for about 5 or 6 seconds.

[@ChuckMarteau]

@@DanCantero Yes only with Capture One. I will check the Lock feature, thank you.

[@usernamemykel]

Can't I just use an HDMI cable to my laptop? If that is possible, would it work with my already existing Adobe Photoshop Elements 15 software?

[@DanCantero]

HDMI Cable won't work because it doesn't carry the data it needs. You want to shoot into capture one or Lightroom and have the images transferred to the computer it has to be done via the USB cable. A HDMI cable connected from your camera to your computer, tv or monitor will only mirror the display on the back of your camera. Hope that make sense.

[@usernamemykel]

@@DanCantero Thank you!

[@drmiteshtrivedi]

There is zero reason to spend 3x on a cable because it's orange, IMO. Anker makes angled USB C to A 16ft cables for 16$. Works great.

[@DanCantero]

I think that is a fair enough comment. I've had my cables for a really long time when there was not alternative but today there are much more options.

[@charlieross-BRM]

Thanks for the detailed description. That turned up a few options of 16 feet. Most "long" USB-C cables on Amazon top out at 10 feet in length. I've got plenty of those - I daisy chain 2 but I'd like to have a single good cable much longer. I've been tethering my Sony A7III for over a year with Imaging Edge Remote and love the process. I do a lot of focus stacking but haven't tried it in C1 yet.

[@MJMYM]

Thank you for the useful video

[@DanCantero]

You are welcome

[@UnrealFineart-B7Kanye]

well done. super video

[@mikaturunen9047]

Great video, BUT why so shy that I can’t see whole screen for all Capture One. I watch this video on iPad and there is only so little area 😊to see.

[@DanCantero]

Hmmm.... not sure what happened. I just checked and I can see the whole screen.

[@mikaturunen9047]

@@DanCantero It is difference between 12” iPad and (presumable) 27” iMac screen. Capture One window is so tiny in iPad, that I can’t see what’s happening in video.

[@jcccheung]

great video!

[@DanCantero]

Thanks! 😀

[@natelane7776]

Canon r6 ii doesn't allow focus selection. Buttons do nothing. : (

[@nalkhlaifi]

I have C1 and Nikon Z9 but when I turn it on it is not showing? any solution

[@KatyaBelkina]

I had this problem (with Fuji camera which was in the list of supported cameras). I work on Mac. It turned out I needed to upgrade my MacOs.

[@nalkhlaifi]

Thanks for your reply. MacOs is latest update. I will try the below mentioned steps and see the result

[@DanCantero]

Also, remove any Nikon software that came with your camera.Sometimes it can cause conflicts that prevent it from connecting. Katya's comment is also a good one. I'll just add to make sure you are using the latest version of C1 as well as trying out a different USB cable and even a different USB port on your computer.

[@avril2227]

Oh, I don't like the idea of the images not saving to the memory card

[@DanCantero]

Check my video to see if your camera is able to save to card and computer. kzbin.info/www/bejne/g4fYZKSaocaqZ68

[@MariMaloney]

i cannot get C1 to "see" my camera!!! I have been fighting with C1 for two years! No one at capture 1 will help!

[@DanCantero]

Oh no! Ok. a few things to try. 1. Reset your camera to factory default. 2. Change the USB cable. 3. Try a different USB port on your computer. 4. Try it on a different computer. 5. Try using something else like Lightroom to see if it connects. 5. Check you camera is supported by C1 (There is a link in the description of where to check). Let me know how you go with those and we can see how I might be able to help you. Dan

[@MrTanker10a]

Remove your cards! Restart your camera and Capture ONE will see your camera.
