To make this work even in the most demanding situation with rapid firing shots, the connection needs to be fast. Anybody involved in the shoot from assistant, client, art director and more now can see what’s happening.
Probably by far, the biggest advantage of tethering is that you immediately can see the shot you just made on a big screen: your computer display. In the next episodes, we explore more advanced features. In this part on tethering, we focus on the primary functions and advantages of tethering. This is a remotely controlled camera that you connect to a system with Capture One. Phase One just introduced the Phase One iXG camera for cultural heritage digitization. The history of tethering is the future as well. As a result, we can shoot untethered, and even shoot outside! Still, the tethered operation has its advantages, and probably more then you might imagine. Today we are familiar with storage, display, and power in the camera and digital back. Even power to the digital back was supplied by the computer through the cord. They needed a computer and a connecting cord to come to life.
In the early digital days, digital backs had no display and no storage. Network connections, either wired or wireless is currently not supported. Tethering with Capture One means that the image is stored at the computer only, not in the camera.Ĭapture One supports two types of connecting cords: Firewire and USB. The computer display becomes the screen to view the image and the computer’s drive the storage device. Tethering is connecting the camera with a cord to your computer.
Always refer to the release notes of Capture One for details and exceptions.Ĭapture One Pro (for Sony) limits your tethering options to selected Sony models plus those from Team Phase One.Īnd last but not least, Capture One DB (digital back) is a free package that tethers with Team Phase One digital backs only. With Capture One Pro you can tether all cameras that are supported for tethering from Canon, Nikon, Sony, and of course Phase One and Mamiya/Leaf, a.k.a. This post is based on Capture One Pro 10. Tethering features have evolved over the years in Capture One to what it is today. You find more on these running modes in Capture One 8 Modes. You can not tether with Capture One Express (for Sony) although you can use the Hot Folder feature. Tethering is available with Capture One Pro, Pro (for Sony), and DB. One of Capture One’s key features is tethering.
This is Part 1 – Capture One Tethering Explained – in a series of three posts on tethering with Capture One. Tethering is available for Phase One & Mamiya/Leaf digital backs and DSLRs from Canon, Nikon, and Sony. Over the years it has evolved into a sophisticated tool for the most demanding photographer. Tethering is one of Capture One’s key features.
