Notes on Nikon cameras
  • If you trigger the shutter with the tether bar capture button, the image must finish downloading before another photo can be captured. Triggering a capture with the shutter release button on the camera does not have this limitation.
  • Images do not save to the CF card. They are only downloaded to the computer.
  • D200 is not supported on Windows.
  • Only one Nikon camera can be attached at a time.
  • Windows 7, Windows Vista, and Mac OS X 10.6 are not officially supported for the D3x, D90, and D5000, but they still may work.
