Nikon Camera Control Pro 2 Serial Crack
Loren Swaggr
For those who don't know, Camera Control Pro 2 is Nikon's software for controlling most camera features from a PC or Mac via a USB or network connection.
More info here.
I'm curious to know if anyone here has used it at all with their D80 or other camera. The idea of being able to immediately offload photos onto a computer and be able to get a much better idea of how they've turned out sounds like it could be useful in some situations.

It works fine, but you maybe don't need it.
With the camera connected to a PC use the camera and scanner wizzard to connect to the camera and you can fire remotely and view the image on the PC as it is taken. If that's all you need to be able to do then you're already set up to do it.
If you run Capture NX - you can set your download folder as a "watched" folder and have NX do some basic processing on the fly too.
The (huge) advantage of CC Pro is in the ability to change settings on the camera from the PC. Dial in some EV comp, change the WB, bracket etc. can all be done without touching the camera.

Thanks Luke! I just tried it and it works great wow it even lets you set the white balance and change menu settings. My camera was set to manual when I connected it, the exposure mode is greyed out, so I guess you can't change that in CC pro 2.

If only I could see what I was shooting (the scene) in CC pro 2, I would have bought the software right away. It is a neat camera control software. The best part is that you can take as many pictures as your computer's storage capacity allows.

That's what appeals to me about it - the storage possibilities. If you can do that with Windows camera and scanner wizard then I guess I don't need CCPro 2. Is there a way of doing it similarly on Mac though?

Sorry to drag up an old topic, but I just got my hands on Camera Control Pro 2 and I'm curious about how those who have it use it.
I'll have to play with it more but it seems really cool how it works and controls the camera settings from your laptop.
I guess for timelapse photos your just clicking on shoot or can you set the program to take photos every so many seconds or minutes?
I can see its benefit in shooting models or fashion as well and maybe for shooting the moon at night but what else do YOU use it for?
Thanks.

@Bundy, yes you can set it to do time lapse, its in one of the menus somewhere, cant remember off hand, but it is there.
I use mine for wildlife, amongst other things, but them I am using a D2x / D2hs with a WT-2 wirless that lets me put the camera up to 100 metres away and control it from my laptop. Also use it for macro which comes in very handy.

If it was cheaper then I'd buy it as the time-lapse functionality is something I'd really like to use, but at 130 it's way overpriced, especially as I understand that the old version used to be bundled with Nikon Capture.
Probably should dig out the software bundled with my old Canon G5 and see if I can use that instead.

The Canon software wont work with Nikon well didn't when I tried.
Shame cause the Canon software is the same programme type and please note nikon free.
Nikon NX is so good but not worth 100 when you have just spent 500 on a camera, then you have to pay for capture as well. this all came free with my Canon G7 not quite as good as the Nikon software but free, did I mention it was free! how come nikon you and canon must have the same margins??

I didn't write that very well - I meant that I'd try using my G5 with it's software for time lapse. For creating some movies it would probably be more than good enough and I have a power adaptor for the G5.

When linking my D200 the computer reckognises it, but the programm claims "no camera detected". A D300 en a D3 are reckognised by the programm.
Is it possible that Windows 7 is too new for a D200?

you just said yourself that the computer recognises it when you connect the cam to the pc so its not win 7 that is the problem.
try this program, its way better than camera control pro and way cheaper
Petri probably gave you the right answer (D200 has to be set to USB PTP in the D200 menu), I'll just add a less likely possibility. On a Mac, Camera Control Pro can take up to 15 seconds to recognize that my D7000 is connected. I get the same warning and just have to ignore it and wait those 15 seconds and it resolves itself.
The Fujifilm X100VI is the sixth iteration of Fujifilm's classically-styled large sensor compact. A 40MP X-Trans sensor, in-body stabilization and 6.2K video are the major updates, but do they make the camera better?

Control your camera settings remotely from your Windows PC via USB.Trigger image capture via release button on the camera or remotely from your computer.Handhold the camera, shoot, and have the resulting images displayed on the computer monitor.
Review images right after photo is captured in full screen or display them instantly on the computer and view histogram and photo metadata. The image loading engine based on Image Magic, which provides a fast image loading even for raw with option to highlight over and underexposed areas in captured photos.
Shoot a series of bracketed shots with an arbitrary shutter speed, aperture or exposure value. Advanced interval meter to create a series of time-lapse images based on a highly customizable scheduler. Shooting triggered by motion detection for cameras which support live view.
You can control multiple connected cameras at the same time, triggering photo capture in parallel, or one by one. To improve sync capture also external capture devices are supported like arduino based triggers or USB relays. For better camera management, settings can be synchronized between connected cameras.
The application can be controlled in multiple ways from an external application, using a simple remote application which can be executed with a simple command line argument. The web server function allows for remote control of application to preview captured photos via a web browser on a smartphone or tablet.
A simple module to help long exposure photography with scripting support to automatize repeating tasks. For precise focusing it is used a special live view window where it is displayed the focused star size and controls to set live view brightness and magnification
digiCamControl saved my bacon!!! Thank you for being there when I needed you. digiCamControl is truly awesome. Simple interface, great camera control, satisfied clients at my end. Thank you so much for being available to a fresh photography pro like me!! Well done!
Just want to say that I LOVE this software !! I use an older Nikon D200 with a grip and while I can't tether into Lightroom, I can tether into Digicam control and I can turn it on and off, switch lenses and just keep going on my shoots and it never fails me smile emoticon,,thank you so much, keep up the great work.
This is fantastic! I have it on my HTPC attached to a 50" plasma TV in my recroom / photo studio. With my D7000 attached to the PC via USB I can see the images on the big screen as I shoot. Very cool stuff!

I set up my D5100 on a tripod with a Tamron 70-300 telephoto lens, popped the camera in Manual mode with AF turned on and plugged it in to the macbook. Fired up the software and had full control over the camera including exposure settings, jpeg/raw settings, bracketing, HDR, intervalometer and live view. It also offers a one press auto focus as well as AF fine tune +/- that drive the focus motor one step at a time.
I set the lens to 300mm and framed my target, a toy monkey... I then used live view on the mac to 'zoom' to 100%, this showed only the monkeys eyes (little black dots against a white background). Pressing AF brings it to where the camera/lens thinks focus is. I could then fine tune it with the +/- buttons, it was a couple of steps out. I am thinking this technique could be superb for finely focussing on stars and as I can then control the intervalometer settings from the macbook it would make a great wide field imaging setup?
BTW AF doesn't work with astrophotography. A Bahtinov mask and/or FWHM is required. I'd say take a look at Nikonhacker firmware upgrades to get at least the live view, and true RAW improvements. Does the Nikon package incorporate a PHD interface for guiding control?-Jack
I think for focus i'll manually focus to near where it needs to be, switch AF back on then use the fine tune controls to achieve absolute focus. I know AF will freak out with the dim light from stars.
No sign of a PHD interface which is a real shame but my mount doesn't guide anyway, thats the next stage and my wife says thats not an appropriate expense given were expecting a child within the fortnight!
