Hi,
Apologies if this question does not strictly fall into "product" photography, however as this is what I hope to be doing I thought any pros or cons of what am am going to ask can also be aired.
So for my work we sell online and as such I am taking steps to get a small "studio" setup for the taking of product shots.
Upon various reading of articales/you tube watching that I have done, it seems that a lot of pro product photographers shoot with their camera tethered/connected to their laptop.
I can see the benefit of being able to see a large image of the shot you have just taken without the need to continually swap memory cards around etc. I feel that as I am so new to all of this I am going to be doing a lot of experimenting with my shots/studio, therefore i think this setup could be ideal.
my question is, can all cameras tether/be connected to the laptop/software in this way? - or is it a feature limited to some models, or is additional firmware/software/hardware required. Also what software is capable of doing this? - I have seen light room mentioned, can photoshop itself do such things,
Many thanks in advance,
anthony
