Shooting Tethered With Capture One Pro: How To Get Started

Welcome to my guide on how to shoot tethered using Capture One software and your camera. If you’ve never used your camera whilst tethered to a computer you are missing out on some really great features and a much better way of working.

Make sure to order the right one for your camera!

Shooting tethered has many advantages over shooting with just your camera. Having a nice big screen to check your work is invaluable and makes it so much easier to find mistakes in your photos. Also there is no better way to check if your photos are in focus than having a computer monitor to check your images.

All this is made possible by shooting tethered. There are many applications that you can use to connect your camera to your computer but in this video I am going to show you how to do this using Capture One pro. Once you start shooting tethered, you are going to really find it hard to just use your camera alone. Capture one can be a little bit intimidating in the beginning. In fact, shooting tethered is something that people think is really difficult, but in this video I am going to show you how you can set up a tethered session really quickly and really easily.

And don't forget that if you have any questions, make sure to leave them in the comment section and I will be happy to help you where I can.

Cheers, this overview and demonstration saved me when working on an exhibition workshop project with the public👍

[KevinVelghe-sqwu]

Disconnecting the cable and moving freely is such a great advantage!!!

[irenedp]

Thanks. I had not shot tethered with C1 earlier but I recently acquired a used Phase One camera and have shot just one test session this past week. Your video filled almost all the gaps (the one it didn’t was how to control focus stacking from the computer, but I can do that from the camera).

[dandipalma]

Excellent, Dan! This was clear, well presented, and facilitative on all levels. Keep them coming. Thank you.

[MrTankera]

This is a great video on TETHERING as an alternate method. The creation of the personal Tab is AWESOME...Thank you!😎

[tzachikraus]

Thank you very much for the video, it is very clear. A question: I work with Lightroom Classic and was thinking of switching – does tethering work with two cameras connected simultaneously?

[MeireKT]

Thank you for this really useful video!

[vinodkatara]

Dan, you have created an amazing video that enables anyone to set up their camera with the Capture One app. Having said that, need your advice on how to set up the option to save my photos both on my XQD card and Laptop. I have a Nikon Z6 and Capture One 22 (Windows 11). Currently, all photos are saved only into my Laptop.

This is amazing! I’m learning about Capture One bc I’m a photo assistant and lighting technician so this video will make my skills grow so much!
I just have one question that I missed. Basically, when you create a folder to save the images, Capture One creates the folder into the hard drive, right?
Thanks a lot!

Excellent video. Very Helpful. The idea that you can disconnect the tether cable, continue to shoot while mobile, then reconnect and down load the raw files is great process. But in my case I have a D800, Capture One 22 Pro and reconnecting the cable did not download the additional images. What release of software did this feature start?

[ChuckMarteau]

Can someone explain to me why I cannot change either the shutter speed, the ISO or the F stop in the dialog box? Everything seems to be locked except for the shutter button. I have to change either one of these features on-camera. I am using Capture One 20 for Fuji. Thanks in advance.

You can set your camera up to save the I'mages to the SD card.

[usernamemykel]

Can't I just use an HDMI cable to my laptop?
If that is possible, would it work with my already existing Adobe Photoshop Elements 15 software?

[mikaturunen]

Great video, BUT why so shy that I can’t see whole screen for all Capture One. I watch this video on iPad and there is only so little area 😊to see.

[drmiteshtrivedi]

There is zero reason to spend 3x on a cable because it's orange, IMO. Anker makes angled USB C to A 16ft cables for 16$. Works great.

[natelane]

Canon r6 ii doesn't allow focus selection. Buttons do nothing. : (

[nalkhlaifi]

I have C1 and Nikon Z9 but when I turn it on it is not showing? any solution

[MariMaloney]

i cannot get C1 to "see" my camera!!! I have been fighting with C1 for two years! No one at capture 1 will help!

Oh, I don't like the idea of the images not saving to the memory card
