Shooting Tethered to your computer in Lightroom is possible with a little bit of set up. This video on shooting tethered in lightroom is brought to you by ProPhotoResource.com
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 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.
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.
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!
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) ?

I'm trying to do tethered time lapse on my canon s95. Any idea if this is possible with Light Room?
