![]() Then the Remote Assistant software (v1.00), also with the ‘space /s’ option, was installed. This initially could not be installed but some internet searching found that this had to be installed from the command line with a ‘space /s’ following the program name, as follows: The software is available from Pentax Support Downloads ().įirst I installed the 1.03 firmware update as instructed. However as the *ist D model is supported I thought I would try it anyway. Pentax provide tethered operation via the Remote Assistant software and officially this model is not supported. ![]() ![]() I find tethered operation to be very useful for studio work such as still life, and especially for self portraits.Ĭurrently my main camera is a Pentax *ist DL D-SLR. This is why this is usually a studio technique as the camera can be stationary on a tripod. The only disadvantage is that the camera is tied (tethered) to the computer by a cable, which restricts movement. Clients can review images as they are captured.Image capture and transfer is one step, rather than having to transfer from memory card to computer later.More images can be captured as the memory card is not used for storage.Better preview capabilities as the image can be reviewed on a full size computer screen.This is a technique often used by professionals during studio sessions. Tethered operation of digital cameras is where the camera is attached to a computer, usually via a cable, during shooting. Use the Pentax Remote Assistant with a *ist DL D-SLR for tethered operation. ![]()
