Pentax Image Transmitter 2 Now Shipping

Wired studio tethering for the 645Z

By PF Staff in Product Updates on Dec 30, 2014

The Pentax Image Transmitter 2 tethering software for the Pentax 645Z hit the US market unannounced last week and is now available for purchase at B&H Photo, the largest authorized Pentax dealer in the US.  The first several copies have already sold out, but additional orders are being accepted with a 1-2 week delivery window.  As of the writing of this post, no other US-based retailer carries the software.  We have been advised that this software may be included with 645Z body in certain other countries, however.

This software allows Pentax 645Z users to transfer files in real time, control the camera remotely, and see the live view display, all via a USB connection.  Image Transmitter 2 is also backwards-compatible with the Pentax 645D.  At a US list price of $199.95, Image Transmitter 2 is cheaper than the orignal Image Transmitter, thus rendering it obsolete.

The 645Z also supports wireless tethering via the (slower and less reliable) O-FC1 FluCard.
