The term "TETHERING"
Posted: Wed Jun 13, 2007 6:57 pm
I briefly overheard a couple of guys in a coffee house talking about tethering their cameras to laptops in the studio. I would take this to mean that they are running their cameras to their laptops to see the images they are shooting right?
Now does tethering produce live images such as being able to see what you are seeing through a view finder? Or does it just send the images directly to the laptop instead of the CF card after being shot?
If tethering is a way of seeing what you are seeing live through the view finder, what do I need for my 5D in order to do this. Also, at the moment I shoot wireless in the studio using Pocket Wizard II units. Can these be incorporated in tethering somehow or is it just what it suggests, a cable tether from camera to laptop?
Thanks for any help.
