Download the application to your iPhone, install the free server software on your Mac, and fire everything up. If youвЂ™re shopping for a new DSLR and tethering is important to you, be sure to investigate what software options are available to you before making your purchase.ДЄn iPhone or iPod touch can also be used as a remote control for tethered Canon and Nikon DSLRs, using one of my favorite iPhone apps called DSLR Camera Remote by onOne Software. I tested it with the E-30, and it worked great. Olympus Studio ($100) for example, does a terrific job of tethering some of its DSLRs. Other camera brands, such as Olympus, may also support tethering. As Apple states it on its Aperture 3 tech specs page: вЂњTethering requires compliance with standard protocols that are not supported by all camera models.вЂќ Refer to this Apple Support Document to see if your particular model is supported. Shooting tethered with Olympus Studio and an E-30.Some Nikon and Canon cameras can be tethered to your Mac using Aperture 3. You can also use the photo management application Lightroom with the free plug-in LightroomTether by Mountainstorm.

You can purchase Nikon Camera Control Pro 2 ($150) for remote shooting, or try a third party application such as the free Sofortbild, which gets high marks from Nikon users. Nikon DSLRs can also be tethered, but unlike Canon, they donвЂ™t include the software with the camera. You have the option of saving the files to your Mac, or to both your Mac and the cameraвЂ™s memory card, creating an instant backup for every shot recorded. Once you take a picture via the virtual shutter release button, the image re-appears on your Mac for review. You can also change many of your cameraвЂ™s settings, such as exposure compensation, white balance, and ISO, using the control window on your Mac. Click on the Remote Live View Shooting button, and youвЂ™re seeing the world through your cameraвЂ™s lens on your Mac display. Just connect your Canon DSLR via its USB cable, launch EOS Utility, and choose Camera Settings/Remote Shooting. Canon, for example, includes its EOS Utility with DSLRs, which is a terrific application for remote control photography. If you have the right software, the setup is remarkably easy.

And if a camera, such as the EX-F1, does advertise this capability, read the specs carefully to make sure that the Mac necessary software is included with the hardware. There are a few compact cameras, such as the Casio EX-F1 that have this ability, but they are in the minority.

Finally, tethering is helpful when you are shooting large files and want to save them directly to your computerвЂ™s hard drive instead of constantly swapping full memory cards in and out. Some studio photographers use tethering to show their clients large screen views of the images on the computer monitor right as theyвЂ™re shot.

Tethering is also handy when you need to position a camera in an awkward location, such as up high for a sporting event or a wedding. The birds arenвЂ™t aware of your presence and youвЂ™re able to preview and capture images as if you were standing right next to them. If you want to shoot birds visiting a feeder, for example, but know your presence will scare them off, position the camera on a tripod and snap the pictures from your Mac a safe distance away. Tethered shooting is useful for situations when regular handheld photography isnвЂ™t convenient. With this kind of setup you can save files directly to your hard drive, preview the images on the computer screen, and even control your camera from an iPhone. Many DSLRs, and a handful of compacts, have the ability to shoot tethered, which means you connect a camera to your Mac via a USB cable, then control the camera remotely. Your digital camera and Mac can work together to capture images as well as display them.
