Title: operating camera from laptop Post by: derrick on March 05, 2010, 10:09:58 PM Hi all have just purchased a nikon d5000 and was wondering if there was any software that will enable me to operate the camera from the laptop. have previously used a canon eos 1000 and that came with the software. But if i want to use the nikon software it is going to cost me another £1000 +.
Any ideas Cheers Del. Title: Re: operating camera from laptop Post by: rayw on March 06, 2010, 12:43:55 AM Hi Del,
I'm not a Nikon user :), but a simple web search found a few links which may be useful. Not sure if any work with your camera - http://www.breezesys.com/purchase_nkremote.htm http://stefan.hafeneger.name/2009/03/10/nikon-control-beta-2/ http://www.amazon.com/Nikon-Camera-Control-Software-Windows/dp/B000GEWUL2 Hopefully a Nikon user will supply some info Best wishes, Ray Title: Re: operating camera from laptop Post by: Terry-M on March 06, 2010, 09:32:50 AM Quote I'm not a Nikon user Neither am I :o but here is another link specifically related to Nikon and free software I think.http://thephotogeek.com/choosing-nikon-dslr-camera-tethered-shooting-software/ I searched on "tethered dslr shooting". Quote have just purchased a nikon d5000 and was wondering if there was any software that will enable me to operate the camera from the laptop. have previously used a canon eos 1000 and that came with the software. The alternative is to take the Nikon back and get a Canon again ;DJust joking. I know someone at the photo club who does wireless tethered shooting for events, with a Nikon, but unfortunately, I'll not be seeing him for a while. :( Terry.

Interesting idea...

It support all functions of the latest Nikon DSLR's including Live View.
