Nikon D7200 Planetary function

[Golffntc]

Am using a Nikon D7200 with BYN 2.1 and everything seems to be working except for the planetary imaging.  No matter what the settings are, the result is the same.  Yes, I have tried pausing the live view, changing the settings and then resuming live view, but the results are identical.  It simply is not changing the settings in this module.  The setting change just fine in the imaging module, but when I move to the planetary, even though the settings are say they are different, the results are the same every time. Looking for some assistance.  This is the sole reason I purchased your product.  Please advise.

What shooting mode are you using?

Can you change the brightness of the Live View display when the camera is not connected to a computer? BYN cannot be used to make the camera do some new function. For example, you can't do Planetary imaging with BYN if the camera doesn't support Live View.

The D7200 is an 8-year-old camera. Nikon was late to the party (compared to Canon) to implement what Canon call exposure simulation. It's hit-and-miss on older model.

Take a look at these 2 options; they may help.

Would be a possibility to access the video live view instead of the photo live view when entering the planetary module?

BYN uses a software library that is provided by Nikon to 3rd party developers to use for camera control. I do not believe that the Nikon SDK supports control of the camera's video functions.

I confirm that BYN does not have the capability to tap in into the video functions, only the live view feed.
