Backed by Tether Tools support, we believe Smart Shooter 4 is the best in class tether utility. Smart Shooter 4 provides tethered capture for most Canon, Sony and Nikon cameras utilizing a reworked user interface, to provide speed and performance for your tethering needs. The Best Tethered Capture Utility Just Got Better

If or as Smart Shooter 4 software evolves, I’ll be willing to re-evaluate.Tether Tools Smart Shooter 4 - Professional Edition

The Sony Imaging Desktop Remote tethering software appears to be my best option at this point.

Perhaps Sony proprietary technology gets in the way of better integration to Capture One and Smart Shooter. No need to move between the camera on copy stand and back to PC, screen and keyboard.

Manual focus in Sony Remote works within the software sitting at the keyboard, with options to enlarge the view in Live View to different selectable magnification amounts. So, from photo capture in Sony Remote software, the image goes to a folder monitored by Lightroom and is automatically imported. Sony Imaging Desktop with Remote (free): It’s possible to integrate with Lightroom through use of a “hot” folder, one monitored by Lightroom. Also, the histogram doesn’t show in Live View as it does in Sony software (not sure if it does in Capture One). With no ability to zoom or magnify in the software (which Capture One and Sony Imaging Remote software allow to do), that puts Smart Shooter 4 at a disadvantage, as to working with a copy stand, because best focus is achieved zoomed or magnified.

Also, you may know how to do with Sony, but once zoomed in, I don’t know how to zoom back out to see the entire object being photographed – while tethered using the keyboard/software.

The downside is that once zoomed in, you’re checking focus in that one magnified area where it would be desirable to use the software to reposition and/or move the magnified area around on the PC screen – not do-able in Smart Shooter 4. The focus magnifier in the Sony camera does work (as you note below) and I was already familiar with using it for general photography. However, zoom or magnifier view in Live View in the software does not work (as you also noted). However, you will only be able to do so when the camera is in the Manual Focus mode.” Yes, agreed, I saw that. You said, “You are able to focus with a Sony a7R IV using just the software buttons. $60 to buy): I was hoping that this would work better than Sony Imaging Desktop as it integrates directly with Lightroom – that part worked well in the testing I did. No further consideration for Capture One as I use Lightroom and Photoshop and don’t intend to swap that for Capture One just for the tethering application… that requires focusing on the camera lens. There was no Live View zoom, doesn’t work with Sony A7R iv camera. Downside is having to go between the camera (to twist focus) and the pc screen and keyboard.

However, focusing using the camera lens worked in conjunction with Capture One’s Live View Focus Meter which includes a graphic indication for best focus. $15 monthly to subscribe): Manual focus in the software in Live View didn’t work for me and I followed all the latest troubleshooting advice on Capture One’s website. Following is a summary I provided to Smart Shooter tech.Ĭapture One (using free trial, approx. Note, my testing was using a Sony A7R4 mounted on a copy stand and just enough only for my own purposes and perhaps some newbie mistakes. I reviewed/tried Capture One tethering, Smart Shooter 4, and Sony's Imaging Edge Desktop Remote software. I’m also using manual and not automatic focus per recommendations for best practices for copy stand work.
#SMART SHOOTER 4 MANUAL DRIVER#
I had Sony software on a second laptop so that it didn’t conflict with Capture One or Smart Shooter 4 (conflicts with usb driver issues apparently). If you do, note removal of Sony's software may be req'd due to USB driver conflict. Note, you can download TetherTools Smart Shooter 4 trial, to try out. My hunch was that I wouldn't be able focus manually from the computer but that I would at least be able to zoom in on a section and see the focus changing as I physically adjusted the lens.Ĭan you or anyone else confirm if you can actually manipulate focus from the computer using Sony's software? it seems like even if that were possible, it obviously wouldn't work with lenses that were manual focus only. Thanks for posting this, I am also a newbie at copy stand work and tethering but saw this same exact thing and was wondering about it.ĭoes the live view zoom work at all with your R4? I have an R3 and if it doesn't I will be forced to either use capture one or Sony's software.
