How to Tether Your Camera To A Computer (2022) 

Been using Capture One Pro since version 7 (now 12). I love seeing and knowing pros that I trust using it as well. Thanks, Miguel. You always kill it.

I just started my subscription to capture one, it's gonna be a learning process I've been used to Lightroom for quite a while

This is by far the BEST VIDEO explaining a step by step on how to. Thank you!!!! This was so good.

Thanks Miguel for your clear explanation and comprehensive demonstration.

Exactly what I am looking for, great content!

Thank you so much, Im super new to photography so this definitely helps.

I had just got my T7 I could not think of why I could not connect to my comp lol I never thought of turning the Wi-Fi off lol. When I started breeding snakes I watch young kids who built their own cages and setups and taught me a lot also. Keep it up nice job.

Nicely done! Very helpful.

Wow Miguel, that really sorted me out, I didn't have the right settings on my camera because I'd been using the camrote app, once I reset those I was able to tether fine with C1 and my new USBC cable! Thanks again!

Thanks lot for introducing the software!

thanks bro, very helpful. first time to use camera one. stay safe.

Great video. I'm pretty new to Capture One, i'd be interested to see how much of Capture One you use before hitting Photoshop

Extremely helpful. My set up was successful through watching this video. Much appreciated. Thank you :)

I will give you just 99.99% marks to 100.One of the best tutorial i saw after long time.Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Thanks Boricua. It was great meeting you in Vegas.

I always tether with my product photography. It is a game changer.

That was a good job good presentation I also use tether as an addition I have a HDMI cable from my Toshiba laptop to an external monitor mounted on the wall so my models can view the monitor which is awesome setup for me

great video, Miguel! you just taught me to tether!

Hello Miguel. Love your tutorials. Please can you show me a guide on how to present my photos/make a presentable portfolio

I just got Capture One so I could shoot tethered with my Sony a77ii. This was very helpful.

Very clear and helpful, thanks so much.

Great video! Thank you!

Do you tether when you're on location, say in a park or some similar location? If so, do you carry spare batteries for your computer, or do you plug into an external portable power source?

This is very clear and informative. Thank you

This video helped a lot!

Hi Miguel, Great Video, I have a Sony a77 and would love to start tethering, I have been looking through the internet for Solutions to see if I can tether. but i am getting mix massages. Please can you help.. thank you for your time.

Thanks Miguel for a great lesson. Could you please help me with an issue I'm facing? My aperture keeps on changing everytime I take a shot. I'm shooting manually mode and I set in all my settings properly. But the aperture changes with every shot I take. Thanks in advance

You sold me. Very well done.

Hello Miguel, very helpful video.

Awesome thank you! What picture profile are best for the sony a7riii?

Perfect video!

Great video on the subject. Yes you can do this with Adobe Light room guys but I find that Capture One is a bit faster. Capture One also have a way for your clients to review images on there iPad or phone which also keeps a client from being to close to you on set. They can sit back a see the images as you take them. I don't think it will make your photography any better but it will let you look at a bigger image which should help you see what your lightning looks like so you can make better changes on set. Its a good product! Trust me I am a pro and shoot for a living!

Very helpful

Miguel, i’m using an EOS are and what if I just want to be tethered to a large 4K monitor so that someone watching the shoot can preview the pictures while I’m shooting? But yet not tethering to a computer? Thanks, Adam

great video , I have a question, do you know how to charge the camera and tether at the same time?

Hello I’d like to know if the Capture One Pro 22 software has this tether feature. Thank You 🙏

I will try this later today, thank you.

great video. I am confused with AF button. I have a a7rv with 24-70 gm2. In a livestream, david Grover says that AF button doesn't work with Sony. For still photo, Do i set my camera to manual focus or AF-S with single point ? a pity we don't see in live view the focus point of sony camera. For portrait, just AF-C with eye detection so sure eye will be accurate ? more tuto on tether in practice with focusing are welcome.

Do you know if any of Apple's stock software would work well tethering? Just rather streamline software if possible..

Great video Miguel! :)

Top stuff & thank you ....

Hi Miguel! Really nice work you're doing buddy 👍👍 I just have one question!! What that black background your model is standing in front called and made of???

Hello there, great video! Do you know how to set up camera to have images saved on "PC+Camera" on Nikon Z6ii? I am terrified with not having everything stored at my Sim Card!

Hi there! Quick question, can you save images to camera and pc on a nikon camera? I've been trying to look this up but so far nothing.If you can answer this question I'd greatly appreciate!

Thanks for the enlightenment is awesome plse does it work also on videos

Wow what an awesome video. Is there anything like this for beginners like myself. Please advise and thank you 🙏

love the shirts bro. any tips on how to shoot in portraits mode without manually rotate the pic to view in landscape mode?

Hi. I loved all your tutorials. I've seen a lot of tethering videos and no one talks about the pc specification. I don't wanna shoot and lose all my work =/. Can u tell me an't suggestion about it please. I'm a big fan of your work

Thank you so much

I will try Thanks Miguel

this was helpful

I don't care about teathering I care about your DragonBall shirt lol love your channel . thank you for your hard work man.

Two things. Firstly, I FRICKING LOVE YOU. I have a lot of respect for creators that aren't obnoxious "WHAT'S UP RU-vid, ITS YA BOI!" creators. It's nice to find a photography channel that isn't someone reciting a load of crap pretending they know what they're talking about. Second. I FRICKING LOVE THAT DBZ SHIRT! If I could only wish Shenron to make RU-vid a better place. 😂

Thank you som much very helpfull

How do you connect your camera with the computer, so you can see live how you're doing (For when you're taking pictures of yourself)? Is this the way? And if so, can you click on the computer and make it take the pictures, or do you have to run back and forth? - And yes. I am beginner.

Pls explain , if you shoot 3 or more persons , same day or just one with different outfits and u want to put eaxh outfits on different folder.....how do you create those folders , thank you :)

ive wondered about tethering for a while now. i have used LR for many years and still run 5.71 (my wife and daughter got the 2 licenses on LR6!) and ive not been able to justify springing for a perpetual subscription on LR. so I went with a purchase (yeah i know the upcoming pitfalls) for Capture One. my laptop, really is HD-challenged. I wish it had a couple of TB of HD but being SSD, theyre not very big. i currently download my cards to a portable HD that i plug in. here is my question: can i tether directly to my portable HD? it would be much more convenient than trying to shoot and save on the computer, since the images would all have to be moved (negating any workflow savings) of saving on the computer... also ive thought about just picking up a tablet to use as a 'big monitor' for the client to see, while saving to my memory cards. i dont see where most android tables have more than just the standard 'charging' port. do you know of any that have auxillary or extra ports for use as a monior?

Tether Tools, Air Direct Wireless: Miguel, would you consider using this device, assuming the transfer speed is close enough to that of a cable.

Muchas gracias.😄

This is extremely helpful due to those tiny view finders and manual focus don't make it easier

Can you use any USB cable that can transfer Data or is there something special about Tethering tools cables? The tether cables cost an arm and a leg .

What kind of specs does a laptop need to run this smoothly

I shoot with a z6. What kind of printer do you use for this. If you got hired on the spot to print photos at a event

Subscribed! 👌🏼

Is it possible to shoot tethered just using an HDMI cable and a monitor just for reviewing?

I'm curious if eye autofocus on my a7riii works with Capture 1 like it does with the Sony "Remote" desktop application?

Can this be used to record Videos as well?

Very nice

I have a Sony Nex-6 and when I get to USB Connection don’t have the “PC Remote” option. Is there any other way to do it? Thanks.

What is your opinion of air direct wireless ?

Would it not be better to use a tether cable usb c to usb c? or is there not much difference?

Do I need Wi-Fi to run capture one ?and can I print from it ?

With the images on screen is there an option to compare them with each other by overlaying them over each other with the transparency set to 50%?

Is there a difference when tethering to a computer and using a bluetooth connection to monitor on a tablet?

Was waiting for this video. Just got my TetherTools cable recently and can't wait to test it out this weekend.

I am getting the error 70 on canon 80 d when I do tether shoot .I keep removing and putting battery again and again till it starts .also Ithere is some issue with the card .a msg is always there that no card .this camera is three years old .any solutions?

What is the exact name of your tether table, and where can I get one.Prince

I’m a hobbyist photographer so who is capture one actually for or should I keep using Lightroom and photoshop?

OMG I feel so dumb. Young man thanks LOL Good video

Hi, can I use this software for my nikon d750? thanks!

Hi there. Just wondering if its possible to tether and also use the camera remote to take my own photos

Hi there, I am after a tether cable for my Sony A7RIII. Any link would be much appreciated thanks.

Miguel will you be making more post-production videos soon?! We've been waiting for quite a while now

I like Capture One, but as long as Lightroom is included with the PS subscription, I see no reason to switch. I didn't notice i big upgrade in speed either between them, but maybe people with a better PC setup will notice it.

Capture One doesn't detect my Olympus E-1 DSLR. The Olympus program works fine with the original Olympus Studio Program. Is there a Cap One fix for it? Thanking you in advance.

My Canon won’t work if the memory card is in it. It saves all files to Capture One but I don’t have a card in my camera . This makes me nervous. Is Capture One safe to save without a card in camera?

How to connect a7iii for Live printing?

Hey Miguel Excellent video support-thank you. I am ready to go 100percent tether-doing cosmetic and fashion and getting killed in post on details Question-i have a really old mac laptop and need something new and lighter-I edit on my desktop (imac) so i want the least expensive but most appropriate processing speed etc on a new laptop Guidance? Recommendations?Thank you!!

Thank you, can I also tether my Android Phone cam to my laptop too? Pls help

Excellent video! I'm doing at least 80% of my work tethered. I'm using an old Canon 30D & Canon 5d MARK II depending on the job. All of sudden both Cameras do NOT want to tether to my HP laptop. I have changed batteries, put on a new Tether Pro cable (never used), tested the cameras work, everything seems to work but either camera will connect to the computer! Any Suggestions?

How do I know what type of cable I used it? I have Sony A6400..thank you

Hi, is possible from Phone to PC....?

Thanks for the video. I’ve been looking for a USB-C tether cable, but the TetherTools version has poor reviews. Most of the complaints are that it’s too stiff, which makes it hard to work with. What is your experience with it?

Great tutorial .... gonna definitely give Capture One a try

How long can be the cable ?

can i trigger the RECORD button on the camera with this app?

Is it recommendable to use an external drive as destination, would this slowdown the process?

Is there any advantage to using a tethering cable over tethering over wifi? Does it produce better image quality? Great video! Thanks!

I use the PlayMemories mobil App with my Soy 7III. I don't need a cable to tether my pics. That's easy to use and I can see the results directly on my tablet.

Hola Miguel, te contacto para ver si me podés dar una mano. Tengo que hacer un upgrade del computer portátil que uso en tethering con mi Nikon 810. Uso un iMac 27 como fijo y un MacBook Pro del 2010 para importar mis sesiones y retoques cuando no estoy en el estudio. Al portátil no puedo hacerle los últimos updates de adobe o COne así que estoy empezando a ver como reemplazarlo sin gastar una fortuna 😅 En tu video sobre el tethering vi que usabas el HP ZBook X2. Lo que me preocupa de salir del ambiente Apple son los colores, como se comporta el hp? Hoy por hoy que máquina me aconsejarías 🙏 Perdoná por el papiro pero después de dar mil vueltas por el Web me quema la cabeza jajaja! sos siempre uno de los más confiables 😊 Muchas gracias.
