Is there a way to shoot directly into lightroom without it having to write to the memory card? The issue i'm having is that I run out of buffer and the camera will just sit there till it writes to the memory card. So rather than writing to the memory card at all i'd like it to write directly to the computer since firewire would faster right?
I had a problem with my 40 D Canon Camera saying no camera detected on LR3 tether. Starting working when I did the following: In LR 3 >File >Export >Plugin manager >Enable- Canon Tether Plugin >Done Go Back to >File >Tethered Capture >Start Tethered Capture >OK >Plugin And Start Camera Hope that helps I was Pulling my hair out
I recently started using Lightroom 3 after using version 2 since the day it was released.
I was very excited to start using the Thethered Mode offered within Lightroom only to find out that it simply processes photos far too slow. Why? Well, unfortunately, in Thethered Mode, when a photo is taken, it goes to the camera's memory card 1st & then is imported through Lightroom. Canon's DPP simply allows photos to be saved directly to your HDD. What a bummer. Thanks for this tutorial.
Hey chris quick question.. i did all you said to do, but when i shoot on tethering an ERROR message pops up saying that "The application cannot be launched" but the pictures shows up on my lightroom. its just annoying cause every time i snap a picture the stupid message pops up.
No i don't believe it is possible on the S95, I had an S90 and couldn't do it so i had to create a low tech workaround, i rubberbanded a marble on the shutter to keep it down and set the camera to it's longest shutter interval. The battery died after about 30 min which gave me about a 30 second timelapse.
You might also see if there is a CHDK hack for the S95 available that will allow you to do this. Good Luck!
Thanks cris, Kind of ridiculous that the s95 gives you the ability to do tilt-shit time lapse but not regular time lapse. Will have to look into CHDK. Just learned about that world yesterday.
Can someone PLEASE help me? I want to use my camcorder that can function as a camera to take photos. Will I be able to have tethered photos? I'm using Canon Vixia HF200. Can someone please recommend a software that's compatible? I know nothing about photography. Thanks.

OMG! Smart to use CANON, DUMB to use MAC. 10 seconds before the image pops up? My $500 dell laptop takes less than 3 seconds to pop my image up. I would HATE to be a model or photographer waiting that long for visual feedback. As for the guy below, Apple Aperture doesn't support your camera cause APPLE SUCKS!
Alex, you can find the eos utility on the canon site just find your camera model then select drivers and downloads.
For others, if you don't have anything positive to add to this post don't waste everyones time. I'm not here to pander to a bunch of infants, these videos are for photographers who want to learn how to use Lightroom.
I have the same question as @shalukuttan

Hi! Great Tutorial!
Even though I can't check the "Enable Auto Import" like you did on 2:29
I use Lightroom 3, how to fix it? Can I skip it?
Anyone who knows?

Can you go fullscreen with tethered shooting?
I want to create automatic live updated photographs.
Don't have a wireless system, can I use the program anyway (by using cables) ?

The 40D does not have a video capture option, You could do stop-motion video with it, though ;)

I could've sworn that I saw a journal from my friend in dA about doing videos with the 40D.
I didn't read it thoroughly though.

None of Canon's DSLR Camera's has got a video option, I think

YES!
I can't use tethered sessions in Aperture 2 because Canon's 40D is not compatible with the plug-in
good thing I have lightroom.
thanks a lot!

Thanks for adding the tethered and watch folder tutorial. I usually use C1 but will give Lightroom a try for tether because of your nice info.

I think it's in the box of your camera. There are a bunch of CD's there.

I bought my camera used. And the EOS utlitiy is not available for download on the Canon website. So I called Canon and they sent me a copy.
Thanks ryanracca and crismitchell.

This is not teethered shooting.
This example uses another app - and just watches folder.
