Retaining images on cards during tethered shooting
I am new to Capture One. I have tested the tethering with my D800, and I noticed that no images are saved on the memory cards in my camera. When I tethered to Aperture, etc. I still had the images on my in-camera cards.
Is there a setting in COP7 which will retain the images on the memory cards during a tethered shoot?

No, I am afraid it is not. This has been asked more often, but the answer is that Capture One only supports tethering without saving to card.0 -
Thanks, Paul, for the quick response.
Is it perhaps on a list for future features, sir? Or is there a method for a formal request for it to be?
It is really the only drawback I can report about Capture One: retaining the images on the card during the shoot (as an option for those who wish to) is a very convenient back up feature. The lack of this feature really forces some less than desireable changes on my workflow, and adds some risk of lost image files if the software or computer were to hang. I prefer knowing that I have all the images on my in-camera cards until such time as I have confirmed they are safe on multiple hard drives.0 -
I don't think that are any software on the market that support saving on both card and HD at the same time for Nikons.
Even their own software does not support...by the way one of the worst image software of all time.0 -

I can tether directly to Aperture and all images are retained on the card (or both cards) in the camera. No special settings--that is the default.
So my question for Phase One still stands, even if they aren't reading or answering it now 😄0 -
I STRONGLY AGREE. I've just switched over from Lightroom and saving images to both CF card and hard drive while shooting tethered is standard (I'm using a Canon 5D MkII). Had I known that my images wouldn't save to my CF card with COP7 I probably wouldn't have made the purchase.
PLEASE engineers, fix this. There's no reason to only have one source to shoot to when tethering. I shoot tethered in rental studios and on location, so I always am shooting to a portable LaCie drive and my CF card simultaneously. Should the hard drive fail during a shoot and a whole days' images are lost because the card wasn't allowed to be used is a COP7 fault.
I like the software but there seems to be some common sense issues being overlooked that other image capture software manufacturers have had the presence of mind to include standard. Thanks.0 -

Unfortunately this is not our feature to "fix".
Other software's (ex. Lightroom) require a CF card as they simply pull images from the internal storage media of the Camera. Such a workflow fulfills the request to shoot Tethered AND to CF card. This communication protocol however, limits integration with the camera and ultimately provides a slower tethered operation.
Capture One, on the other hand, works with software provided by the Manufacture to integrate with the camera and provide a tethered operation as designed by Canon or Nikon.
If the feature to shoot to CF card AND tethered were available to us from the Manufacturer, we could integrate it as a feature when we have the opportunity. Currently this is not a feature available and as such is not something we can "fix".0 -

But Canon's original "Canon EOS Utility" software actually CAN do it.0 -
Some of you may have already worked this configuration out. Here is how I deal with it with my Canon bodies. I connect the camera to my laptop (MacBook Pro) then if C17 opens - close it. I then will start up EOS Utility and have it recognize the camera and shoot through it. Then I will launch C1, you will get a dialog box that cant recognize/connect to camera. Just click through that (it usually will appear twice) then you can use it as a browser to display the images and make adjustments etc. I will switch between programs by hitting "command tab" to go to EOS utility, hit the space bar to fire the camera and then command tab to go back to C1. I don't know about Nikon etc. I would like to be able to shoot to the laptop and a card with the phase one digital back as well.
I will also put my request for such a feature that should be standard in professional grade software. I was surprised when I discovered that such a high-end image processor had limitations such as this.0 -

there is no excuse to lose images - I have 3-4 hard drives available to write images during a shoot. Not having CF cards write is not an issue for me. I suggest you invest in additional b/u drives (and be careful with those Lacie drives)
I have the main HD to shoot to (the startup has a clone drive of course), another internal drive to backup sessions (both my Mac Pro and Macbook Pro have 2 or more internal drives) and at least one external drive as a backup. so basically anyone of those HD's could go down and I wouldn't lose anything.
if there are technical reasons that C1P will not write to CF cards then I can live with it.0
