Shooting Tethered

[lennon33x]

Okay dokay.....

So my lovely LR won't tether a 5D (classic)...I'm not sure why, but it's pretty frustrating.

All I'm really wanting to do is view the images as I shoot them for sharpness instead of looking on the LCD. Anyone have any suggestions for a "viewing" program (for Mac)?

Thank ye

The Digital Photo Professional software that shipped with the Canon digital EOS camera support tethering. Well, at least all of mine does. You can check and see if your Canon software works as well.

How about contacting the LR support just to see if they have any suggestions.

I bought mine used. Suggestions on where to get it for the 5D?

Do you know anyone around you have the disc you can borrow? I think it does not have be to the exact one that made for 5D back then. The reason for that is if I am not mistaken, the one that download from Canon site will not install unless you have the original software or something similar.

I talked to both Canon and Adobe. The problem is is that the operating system that I'm running, Mavericks, is not compatible with the 5D's processor and protocol. What I'm slightly confused about is that my Mac recognizes the memory card inside the 5D as being an memory card. If there was someway to have the computer recognize the image as it's being taken, that would essentially be at a tethered shoot.

You might contact Phase One about Capture One Pro. The 5D used to be supported. Not sure if it is completely any longer. FYI Capture One pro is a bit pricey but I find it to be a great program.

Does it work on OS Mavericks?

I use Sofortbild, and it has a bug i can't stand... but its free and works well otherwise.

What's the bug?

After taking a shot, and I zoom in to inspect something... every shot after is zoomed in pretty far to the lower left corner.

Will it work with a 5D on mavericks?

Capture One Pro does. Not sure about it with an older 5D. That's why I suggested you contact Phase One.

Its a no-go guys. Without something like EyeFi, I'm afraid the updates to operating systems has outpaced the protocol for the 5D
