About NX Tether

NX Tether software is designed for tethered photography with Nikon cameras connected to your computer. NX Tether can be used to adjust camera settings from and download pictures to the computer, where it can link with other software such as NX Studio. A simple, stripped-down design combined with an uncluttered, intuitive interface ensures that users will never find themselves at a loss. If you wish to display the view through the camera lens in the computer monitor while taking pictures remotely, use Camera Control Pro 2 (available for purchase separately).
