Task 4 - Tethering
Tethering is connecting your camera to a computer via usb to display real time action. When you take a photo with the camera while it is tethered the photo will be saved to the cameras memory card and also to a place you have chosen on your computer. You can view these photo's live using software such as Adobe's Lightroom, Apple Aperture, Phocus and many more. Tethering software is good for correcting exposure, focusing and showing previews of the work being done to coworkers or perhaps the client.
Adobe Lightroom
Incorporates tethering functionality
in its comprehensive RAW processing and photo management software. The
tethering feature is compatible with select Canon, Nikon and Leica
digital cameras. Here a list of supported compatible cameras.
A few of the many features include importing photos as they are taken
and loading them to a selected catalog. Lightroom offers access to many
of the camera’s settings directly from computer as well as instant
viewing, zooming, rating and tagging of shots. The ultimate benefit is
checking focus, lighting and composition in great detail. Available for
Windows or Mac.
Apple Aperture
Introduced tethering functionality with its 3rd software version,
allowing one to shoot directly to their Mac. Aperture is a
comprehensive photo management software, which includes image storage
and management, detailed metadata, customized presets as well remote
backup. Available for Mac.
Phocus
Is an free software package designed for Hasselblad cameras. Phocus
software provides all the power, performance and advanced tools that
photographers desire in an easy-to-use and attractive working
environment, making even the largest files simple to handle. Besides
the more common tethering features, Phocus offers scene calibration,
moire removal and camera configuration to name a few. There is also
Phocus Mobile which integrates an iPad or iPhone into the workflow and
