Nikon Camera Control Pro 2 Trial Download

He guys and girls...



I've had my D90 for a while-ish now.. and was flicking through the manual and it mentions Camera Control Pro 2, so i downloaded a copy of it and I'm using it as a trial for now... but i have installed it on both Vista and XP, and its saying "No camera was detected" is there any way I can fix this?



I did some reading on PTP Driver creation

msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms792271.aspx



But I'm still not sure what I'm meant to be doing... Ive researched it every where and yet to find a working answer...



I'm hoping that some one here can help me... please!



I've heard in threads about changing it from Mass Storage to PTP or something... but there is nothing I can see in the Menu to support this.. I'm so lost.. Grrrr



Also to add.. I've noticed when I plug it into my Vista OS... the "PC" blinks on and off in the top right of the display about 4 times... but then remains on the normal screen.

I had the same error after I installed the trial version of Camera Control Pro 2 from the Nikon website. I installed the software and I connected the USB cable to my D90. My laptop running Windows Vista Home Premium (64 bit) was recognizing the camera but I was still getting "No camera was detected" from CCP2.



After hours of searching and reading hints about PTP settings and possible driver issues, it turns out I just needed to upgrade CCP2 to the latest version and then everything was fine. 



o The trial version installs version 2.0 which is what didn't work for me. After you install, go under the CCP2 Help menu and select "Check for Software Updates..."

o I ran this and it updated me to version 2.6 (as of Nov 2009).

o The next time I tried the software with the camera, everything worked fine. The camera was recognized right away by CCP2 and then you can start using Live View from the laptop and your pictures save straight to your hard drive instead of the chip in the camera. It's really cool to be able to see right away if you got a good shot or not instead of relying on the camera's screen.



A couple other notes

o The website for the trial version calls out that only 32 bit versions of Windows are supported but I haven't had issues yet on 64 bit Vista with SP1.

o The D90 does not have the option to set a "USB" preference under the camera menus. Google it and you'll find that the D90 currently only works as PTP so you don't have a menu option to set the USB to anything else.



 Bullets: I hope you finally got it to work...

The D50, being an SLR, has the sensor covered up by the Mirror when composing the shot. 

So, you cannot "see them live as you shoot", as the sensor cannot see anything ! Therefore, the D50 cannot send anything to the PC/MAC.



This aside, you can download a trial version of Nikon Camera Control Pro ( from your Nikon site) that will allow you to remote control the camera ... This appears available for Windows and Mac...

Yes that is confirmed SK ; However Camera control is available for a 30 day trial as a seperate item. and as i recall the cost for it alone is way down . at least under $100 i think. 



Capture NX was designed by Nikon's new software partner and it is unlikely Nikon would want to tie sales of their own software to those of the partner . If it will make money as a stand alone why should the new partner benefit?

Likely the easiest cheapest legal contract was to seperate the 2.

Well, I really wanted both. I've used the trial version of the Camera Control and it worked great for what I needed. One person on the camera, a second on the computer doing immediate post processing for out the door prints.

As you state in a comment above, that all you want to do is shoot timelapses, rather than relying on a software solution you could always try something like the gentLED-Auto. Their website claims D60 compatibility and I also found this video where the poster says they used a trial of Nikon's Camera Control Pro 2 software, but have since purchased the gentLED-Auto controller to save them lugging their laptop around (and also the gentLED-Auto is a fraction of the cost of the Nikon software).


You need the USB cable that came with the camera plus an extension cable. Then you can use Camera Control Pro from Nikon (has a trial period), Lightroom, qdsrldashboard or ControlMyNikon software to instantly transfer and view the photos on your laptop.


I'm trying to find appropriate camera control software to use for the eclipse. After sorting through the various software I've seen mentioned to what is compatible with my setup, I am down to DigicamControl (free), BackyardNikon (30 day trial or $50), or Eclipse Orchestrator (free version limited to 0.3 fps or $109.) Eclipse Orchestrator sounds like the best option, but the low framerate on the free version seems like it would be a dealbreaker. I'm also reluctant to pay over $100 for software I will likely only use once.



Could anyone provide some advice for me here?


If I purchase Eclipse Orchestrator Pro ($109) and want to control the shutter by serial cable, would I also have to purchase a shutter control adapter and corresponding cable? Looks like another $91 per camera from Shoestring Astronomy ( _ds.htm). I would like to control two cameras, but don't want to pay $300 for something I will only use once.


Thank you for the advice everyone. After playing with the various software I decided to stick with DigicamControl for controlling my camera, but found a workaround for the USB speed limit - my IR remote shutter release still works when the camera is connected to a PC and is not subject to USB limitations. Using this I can take diamond ring and baily's beads shots rapidly around C2 and C3, but execute a camera control script during totality. It's slightly more complicated but should allow me to photograph both those phenomena and the corona properly.


Unlike other tethering software, Smart Shooter is built on Picture Transfer Protocol (PTP), this means increased reliability, superior connectivity, faster image transfer, faster import, more camera control and more advanced features are built in for each camera Smart Shooter supports.


Enjoy the speed, reliability, and camera control features of Smart Shooter, paired with the cataloging, presets, and editing features of Lightroom. Run Smart Shooter in the background or side by side with Lightroom Classic when connected to Sony, Nikon and Fujifilm


Its intuitive user interface caters to the amateur and seasoned astronomers alike. Program your image capture plan and walk away. BackyardNIKON will control your Nikon DSLR camera and deep sky long exposure images all night long.


Of course, Nikon Camera Control Pro is also integrated with Nikon's photofinishing software Capture NX. You can control a huge amount camera settings including the exposure mode, shutter speed, and aperture. The main problem that users complain of is that this software doesn't update itself automatically properly so you may have to manually download and reinstall new versions as they are released.


AeroNikon is a new application designed specifically to assist our clients who use Nikon DSLR cameras for their aerial survey operations. AeroNikon allows Aviatrix (the flight management software) to interact directly with the Nikon camera. This means that images can be written from the Nikon camera to the hard drive of the computer. The file names of the images are written directly to the metadata files, making it very easy to import the Nikon imagery into applications such as Pix4D and Photoscan. Additionally, the software gives the user full control over the camera, so exposure settings (shutter speed, aperture, ISO etc.) can be easily changed.


APT supports a wide variety of astrophotography cameras including Canon EOS, Nikon, and CCD or CMOS astronomy cameras such as the Starlight Xpress SX-42. The software allows you to control focus, framing, plate-solving, scheduling, and much more. The user interface is not overwhelming, which is rare in the world of astrophotography software.


This is what the cable looks like you need to connect your DSLR camera to APT (this is the exact cable I use to connect my DSLR camera). This is the same cable you will need to control your DSLR camera using almost any software.


On the most basic level, astrophotography imaging software is used to control your DSLR or CCD camera. The application connects directly to your camera and provides an advanced interface to automate the exposure sequences.
