Compose the Perfect Shot
with Live View

Reduce re-shoots and post-processing by using live view in a window or full-screen or even on another monitor to make sure your composition and exposure is perfect before you take the shot. You can even capture an image with motion detection.

Remotely autofocus or manually adjust the focus without touching the camera. Includes copystand mode, compositional guides, focus peaking, inner and outer exposure markers, overlays, slide simulation, jitter reduction, rotation overrides and cropping.

And if you are shooting with strobes and find the live view is too dark, you can bump up the brightness so that you can compose with ease.

Review and Analyze Your Images

Use the built-in Image Browser to check your focus, exposure, composition and metadata.

You can even detach it or spawn a second image browser and put it on another monitor.

Reduce Eye Fatigue

Select from over 100 color themes to find a look that is best for you.

Remotely Adjust Settings and Shoot

With tethering, you avoid the problem of bumping your carefully composed shot when you need to adjust camera settings.

All you need to do is point and click to adjust your settings on the ControlMyNikon screen and you are good to go.

And when you are ready to shoot, just click on the Shoot buttons or use the camera shutter release, mouse, keyboard or one of our configurable triggers.

And if you would like to re-use these particular settings later, save them as a Profile. You can use profiles to quickly restore all your settings instead of setting each item again.

Prolific Profiles

Make changes to the camera settings and then save it as a profile. You can have as many profiles as you like and switch profiles when needed. This saves a lot of time.

Windowed Wonderful...ness

Detach the live view, image browser, or both and arrange them on other monitors. Or clone the live view and image browser windows so that they can exist on separate monitors.

Integrate it

Send commands to ControlMyNikon via your own app, or send each image after capture for further post-processing via batch file.

Marvellous Metadata

Embed your own data into IPTC fields for each image. If using the Batch Workflow, you can even embed data from your barcode or linked data.

Copystand Clarity

Use live view’s Copystand mode so that you can easily compose by moving the subject on the copystand. Move it right and moves right in live view, etc.

Calibrate White Balance

Easily capture and assign a white balance to your custom white balance settings. Use a white or grey card of your choice.

Take the Shortcut

Use the built-in shortcuts and customize your own for pretty well every function.

Multi-threaded Performance

Camera communication image processing run on their own threads for maximum performance on multi-core cpu’s.

Use a DSUSB

Capture images by using a separate DSUSB device. Great for long-exposure captures for those cameras that don’t allow tethered bulb shooting.

Use a Stackshot

Use the StackShot motorized rail to move your camera for focus stacking. Great if you don’t have a lens with a CPU-controlled focus motor.

SDK Satisfaction

Uses Nikon’s official Software Development Kit so you know that the camera is controlled in a safe, Nikon-approved manner.

It's Pretty

Customize the look and feel by choosing from over 100 themes and adjustable font sizes. Your eyes will be much happier.

Print it

Print contact sheets right from the image browser.
