BYN- Nikon D610


Ken_Rob

Question

Hello All,

 

I have BYN Premium and the program will not save image to camera.

Program will save image to computer ever if I select camera only.

I would like to save the raw file to camera and small jpg to computer.

None of the save to functions will save image to camera.

I have tested on two computer and two cables still on joy.

 

Ken

Gaylain,

 

There are a few free programs that can control and save the image file to the Nikon camera.

The Program DigiCamControl has open-source-tethering.

Let me know when you release a patch or new revision .

Yeah, DigiCamControl is not using the Nikon SDK, it is using PTP Protocol to communicate with the camera :(

 

I came across a few issues in the SDK that is not a problem with those who use PTP.  At times I regret going the SDK route but to mode to PTP would mean a full rewrite of the camera interface :(

 

Thanks for the feedback.

I am a BYE/Canon user, but I do not believe that an option is provided to save RAW to one destination and JPG to another.  It may be a limitation of the SDKs or a design decision by Guylain and Chris.  I am guessing that your use case is that you have a limited amount of disk space on your BYN computer and you do the processing on a different machine, but I would suggest that you make your request in the Feature Suggestion Box forum with a description of how this feature would benefit your workflow.

 

If your issue is that you select "Save to Camera" in the Capture Plan Center, but the image is not saved to the camera then this needs to be reported in the BYN support forum.

The U-tube video stated minor difference in the eos and Nikon

Software, This is more than a minor difference.

Would have been nice to have a heads up, spent many hours

Trouble-shooting this.

The Nikon D610 has two 32 gig memory cards , I have one

Set for raw the other for jpg.

The laptop computer dose not have great computing power.

The raw files are around 24 mb or more , It would take time

To download then over USB.

 

There is no happy face here.

Hi Ken,

 

The issue is way deeper than that, the Nikon SDK does not even allow it as far as I know.  I've looked for it when developing BYN v1 but I could not find a command to allow saving to camera while tethered to PC.  It does not mean there is no command, but I did not find a way to achieve it.

 

Sorry about your :(

 

Regards,

Also remember that the Nikon SDK commits Extra Time at Startup to build a Catalog of all the Images existing on the SD Cards, before giving Control to BYN.

 

Unless you are very conscientious about Emptying the SD Cards - both of them - after every BYN Session, you'll likely experience even more frustration...
