Tethering with Nikon issue
« on: May 03, 2011, 08:24:00 AM »
Direct USB tethering on my mac 10.6.6 using Capture Control 2. (2.9)
Reviewing and captioning in latest Photo Mechanic.(4.6.7 beta 7)
When we use command one to label selected images magenta, the camera fires and no labeling occurs....!!!!
How can I have PM force through this?

I don't understand what you mean.  You press Command-1 in PM and this causes the camera to fire?

Absolutely correct.
Camera fires even though PM is the active app!!!!
We had to use red label (command-2)

Marc,

What commands does the tethered app use to cause the camera to fire?  Perhaps they use Command-1 and monitor for the key press even when their application isn't the active application.

You guessed it (of course).
I have reset the keyboard shortcut in CC2 and all is well...
Many thanks Kirk!
It is Marc FWIW
