1. Please note that the Nikon D3XXX series will never be supported by Sofortbild, as Nikon does not provide libraries for those models.
2. Sofortbild is a native PC app for tethered shooting using Nikon DSLR cameras.
3. The software allows you to control any supported Nikon DSLR camera remotely from your Windows via USB.
4. Sofortbild transfers captured images instantly to your hard disk for review in full resolution and quality and further image processing.

Force Close Problems
I am using a PC Retina display with an Intel Core i7 processor, running OS X Yosemite, and tethering to a Nikon D90 camera. We use it to for product photography and it is very helpful, when it works. It allows you to choose what folder you would like the images to be stored in as you take the pictures and the display is perfect for what we use it for. However, sometimes it will not connect with the camera, but lately the problem is that Sofortbild will close as soon as I snap the first picture and will not allow me to use it at all. Is there other troubleshooting I need to do in order to fix this besides restart it, completely shut down in safe mode, and restarting the application?
Runs well in a Virtual PC
While this app is not working in El Capitan, it does run well in a virtual PC of an earlier OS, running inside El Capitan. I have VMware Fusion 8.1 with a Mountain Lion OS on a current PC - also gave it a successful try with Yosemite vm. One thing to keep in mind is to set the vm to use USB 2.0 (not 3.0) so it can connect with the camera. Problem solved and your main OS can be kept current. Sofortbild is just too wonderful to live without. I fire the camera with an Microsoft Bluetooth Keyboard (Command-r) as I walk around the studio set-up, adjusting the subject and lighting without unneccasary trips back to the tripod.
Great Work!
I am very thankful for you and this software! I own the d5500, I don’t think it is compatible yet. Any help?
This App Adds a Sorely Needed Feature to Lightroom
I love this app. I also love Adobe Lightroom. But, shooting tethered is shooting blind with Lightroom as there is no “live view” on the computer. It shows you the image after the capture. By using Lightroom and creating a “watched folder,” then have Sofortbild download captures to that folder. You not only get your captures automatically imported into Lightroom, but you can compose and shoot from a “live view” on your computer screen using Sofortbild. It makes my Canon shooting students jealous.
Good Basic Program
This is a good program for tethered capture. FInd my camera (Nikon D750) and can control it with ease. One tad annoying issue is it seemingly loses the connection randomly then reconnects during shooting. I am using one of the orange cables from Tethertools to connect to my Windows. One big suggestion I'd have is to have the photos auto-rotate (portrait/landscape) when they appear on the computer screen in the app. I'd give it 3.5 stars. Overall I'd recommend it.
