Cant help with LR3, I use Eos Utility

All I've ever done is plugged the camera into the computer and clicked on "tethered capture" under the file menu.

Shooting tethered with Lightroom isn't difficult, unfortunately though the 1000D is not supported for tethered shooting in Lightroom

You ca find the full list here

all I seem to get when I've connected my canon 550 is the eos utility offering me a failure to communicate message and if I press the shutter button a busy message....and thats it

Thought my camera was not supported, just done this and it works

Does the Nikon come with tethering software? I only ask because my Sony A700 did so all I had to do was get lightroom (mind you, I'm using v2) to autoimport from whichever folder I set. Is this not an option for the Nikon?

 

[Spoony]

My nikon came with a trial software which I belive could do tethering. You could also control the camera from the computer using it.

I have now plugged my camera in via usb and clicked tethered shooting and it works.

In the communications set up in the camera menu ( If there is that option) ensure it's set to PC not to PICT. That may be the problem

I'm using a Canon 550 and having looked at tha manual there doesnt appear to be this option...I'm probably missing something really basic but just at the moment I'm stumped :bonk:

Make sure you are saving to an empty folder. If you have images already in the folder tethering doesn't work.

When I connect my 550D I set everthing up as in the tutorial and then it detects the camera is there but it displays no settings for shutter speed etc and I cant shoot with it.

What am I doing wrong??? it works ok with EOS Utility but I would rather use Lightroom.

Never had that problem. Are you running the latest version of Lightroom. The latest is 3.4.1 . If not try updating, not sure if that will cure the problem but it's worth a try.

As it works with the EOS utility you could set up Lightroom to "Watch" the folder you are using the EOS utility to save the files too. You need to enable " Auto Import" ( It's under the FILE dialogue ). Not elegant but may solve the problem in the short term
