->> Hey Guys
I’m shooting a photo tonight tethered with the D3 and wondered what do I need to know? Any helpful suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

->> I assume that you have Nikon Control Pro or another tethering software? If so it's as simple as shooting with a CF card.
I shoot tethered quite a lot and prefer it for any situation where I am in the studio. |

Lightroom can be used to shoot tehthered but it is a little more complex than mentioned above. Here is a link to a tutorial on how to do it:

As mentioned in the article, Camera Control Pro 2 is used instead of Canon Capture to direct captures to the watch folder from which Lightroom will import them. Although this works well, it is a little on the slow side. Aperture can be used to tether Nikon cameras without intermediary software. Although I haven't tested it yet, Capture 1 Four supposedly can now be used to tether Nikon cameras. It is expensive but I hope it works faster then the Lightroom/Camera Control Pro method. Also, Capture 1 is currently the industry standard for tethered capture and has some nice features. |
