Wireless tethering to a tablet.... the landscape photographers dream. Especially once Samyang comes out with a workable tilt shift for k-mount.

Tethering is necessary for astrophotography fine focusing. and remote control. Pentax cameras are good cameras for night sky pictures, tethering will make them
a choice camera for amateur astronomy. Add wireless they could become the preferred camera.

Pentax, please give us tethering support!

Also Adobe too for LR4 & CS6.

live tethering w/ Android/iOS apps is really what people are used to now.

And please use USB 3.0 instead of glacially slow USB 2.0....wifi (even 802.11ac w/ dual streams) is too slow. 802.11ac w/ 4-8 streams is probably fast enough but would be a battery suck and throw off so much noise inside the body, it'd mess up the DR...

Please!!! Tethering for Pentax with PC/smartphone support!!!

zapp · 02-22-2013, 03:21 PM

Tethering is nice to have and useful, but other things are needed first.

andymuns · 02-25-2013, 09:12 AM

yes i want tethering please

djseeram · 02-25-2013, 04:53 PM

tethering is one thing I miss the most in Pentax.

DeadJohn · 02-25-2013, 05:20 PM

Tethering plus software API. For astrophotography.

Tethering would be great. The Eye-Fi cards can add a lot of this "missing" stuff, obviously can't fire the shutter but it's nice to have a better "instant" review. The retina iPad really shows you a LOT compared to the little on camera screen.

mrNewt · 02-26-2013, 08:00 AM

I'm all for it! Especially on Android devices

My Note will finally be put to good use!
