Today, Nikon released a new Digitutor video for their NX Tether software, explaining how it works and the additional functionality offered over using only standalone software such as Lightroom and Capture One. If there is one utility that does not get much attention, it’s NX Tether. NX Tether allows one to shoot photos that appear on a computer (Mac or Windows) as they are captured by the Nikon camera. Since both Lightroom and Capture One offer tethered shooting built in, you may wonder if there is any reason to use NX Tether. NX Tether offers more functionality such as being able to control camera settings from within NX Tether and also determine where the files are stored (camera, camera and computer, computer only) etc. NX Tether is compatible with NX Studio, Lightroom Classic, Capture One and Photoshop. I found the video helpful and provided confidence in useing it in my next assignment, producing headshots and pet shots with my Nikon Z8 mirrorless and shutterless camera.
