what's up charlie welcome to ghananie photography my name is Kweku Ayer i get asked often by most
of you how i manage to shoot and then have the images appear on my laptop directly as i should
in this video i'll take you through how to tether from your camera to your laptop i'll
take you through the basic tools that you need and the whole process don't forget i'll be using
capture one for this but if you use lightroom the process might still be the same but as you know
i am the unofficial capture one ambassador for ghana and maybe west africa or africa lightroom
i have never used it but i know this procedure is possible in lightroom so let's take a look at what
you need to be able to tether from your camera to your laptop the first thing you need is a tether
cord now i got this from aliexpress i'll show you another hack if you don't have this long tether
cord this is about five or six point five meters i don't know the exact length but it's not less than
five meters most of you may already have this usb cable that comes with your camera this is for the
nikon d750 if you have a 6d or sony any other one most new cameras have the type c so if you have
this short cable i'll show you how you can extend it all you need is a usb extension this is about
three meters it's a 1.5 times two so this is limited this has two different uh
configurations so with this you just plug your short cable in here a voila now you have a long
stator card even though this is not the official one this is just the hack so you can use this
until you're able to get a official terror card each card has a configuration based on the camera
you're using since i'm using the nikon d750 the pin here goes into the camera here
see and with this having the is it t or well this junction here it protects it so that when
you want to put your camera down the cable is well protected and then the other side goes to the usb
some of the newer ones will have the type c like the newer macbooks don't have usb so you will
have to get the one that will be type c for your macbook once we've plugged the end that goes into
the camera we plug the other end to the laptop i'm using an older macbook the 2015 macbook pro so it
has a usb port so we'll just connect this side to the usb port since we are using capture one
i have capture one opened and the first thing is you move to this camera icon click on it and
now i have my camera turned on so if i turn it off
you realize all those settings are going out let me turn it on
so all these settings you see here are what i have on my camera so the first thing is
we will create a folder where we want the images captured to appear so here we go to choose folder
and then i'll create a new folder where i want it to be so let's see this is a
the name we've given to it so it's a set as capture folder now all these other things you can
change them but i'll just leave them as they are our muse for today's demonstration is amy
i have my code connected to the camera
and the macbook so let's take a shot and see what appears on our screen
all right so just like that we have a image appearing on our macro it's that simple just that
you need to know the basics you need to know what you have to do to get it there so let me go over
again you need a cord that works with your camera so now what i have here is for the nikon d750
this won't work for your canon 6d you need to get a configuration that works for your 60 and
as i said earlier your 6d may come with a shorter cable about 1.5 meters you can get a usb extension
and plug it to it so you can get a longer cable i got this on aliexpress it took some time to get
to ghana if you're able to get it in a another store i know you can get it on a bnh and amazon
but over here it's difficult to get i've never come across any shop in ghana that sells this
cable so you can order it from aliexpress or get a shorter one and then just get the usb extension
i got it from i forgot the name of the show but if i remember i'll put it in the description so
you can get it from them let's take a couple of shots so we see if they all appear on the screen
so just like that we've been able to connect our camera to capture one and then whilst taking
the pictures they all appeared on the screen now the there is one thing you need to know
with the d750 when you connect the cable you need to take out the card if you have the card in
i found out that it doesn't work if the card is in i don't know why but that's the hack
i found out so if you have your card in and it's not connecting you may want to take out
your card if you found this video helpful kindly share it with your friends whom you know benefit
from it i hope this has been informative for you and i'd like to thank you for watching
