Nikon Tethered Shooting from your Mac

This is a Mac OS X and Nikon specific post. I came across this application called Sofortbild, which allows "tethered shooting" from your Mac. Tethered shooting simply means remote controlled shooting using your computer and a camera connected by a USB cable or wirelessly.

Sofortbild works with most Nikon DSLRs. This could be extremely useful in time-lapse photography.

Personally I find Sofortbild better than Nikon's own Nikon Control. Why? Cause its FREE!

Nikon D70 Firmware

I have owned a Nikon D70 since over 4 years now. For all D70/D70s owners, I do recommend updating the camera's firmware to the new 2.0 version. Digital Photography Review's article on the new firmware can be found here.

Nikon's technical support describes how to apply the firmware to your D70/D70s.
