Sound Shooters: Tethered Shooting 2

By Hitomi Dames

♦Tethered Shooting with Aperture

Unlike EOS Utility with Aperture, you can’t see remote LIVE VIEW.

In Aperture, the remote control is ONLY to press the shutter button.

Therefore with Aperture, you have to do all the settings on your camera. To set Live View on camera and to control the exposure metering, watch this video.

Camera Live View

1. Connect camera and computer. 
2. Turn on camera and enable LIVE VIEW. Set ISO, mode everything on camera. 
3. Open Aperture: Choose File - Tether - Start Session (fig.1)
