Live View software for KX?

ctron · 02-14-2016, 06:40 AM

Has software ever been developed that would allow live view of the KX on a laptop or desktop screen? I had been using PKTether for astronomy uses for years and lack of live view on the laptop wasn't really an issue, but I always wished I had it for focusing. Now I have entered the macrophotography realm and really wish I had live view on the PC. Just wondering if PKTether was updated to now allow it, or if there is other software somewhere that will? Thanks.

You are using the wrong brand of camera if you want tethering.

Ricoh has no interest in supporting tethering for anything less than the 645Z. PK_Thether hasn't been updated since the developer lost interst or whatever. pkTriggerCord was updated last year, but it is as limited as PK_Tether
