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.
Other supported cameras
