Lightroom is available for Windows and Mac and it will allow you to tether with select Canon, Nikon and Leica Cameras. For you Sony, Olympus, Fuji and Pentax owners, there are workarounds or plugins that you can purchase to allow tethering with Lightroom. Find Your Software. There are many options available – everything from free software that may already be included with your camera, to super-charged programs incorporating all your post-production needs into one package, to very unique and specific features for a particular shooting requirement.

For all Nikon cameras:
- Tethering with the following models may be unreliable on Mac OS when burst shooting: D300, D300S, D700, D3, D3S, D3X, D90, D5000, D7000, D5100, D7200
- If you trigger the shutter with the tether bar capture button, the image must finish downloading before another photo can be captured. Triggering a capture with the shutter release button on the camera does not have this limitation.
- Images do not save to the compact flash card. They are downloaded only to the computer.
- If you're using Lightroom Classic version 8.1 or earlier, only one Nikon camera can be attached at a time for tether. In Lightroom Classic version 8.2 (February 2019 release), support for tethering multiple Nikon cameras has been provided.
For all other camera models that are not listed in this page, contact the camera manufacturer to get information about tethering support in Lightroom Classic.
