    Hello Chen.

    The P45 can be connected to systems with MacOS 10.15 or earlier and with Capture One 21 (14.1) or earlier.

    Thodoris Chorianopoulos Thank you, and May I ask what about Windows

    Chen Chen my pleasure to help you. For Win you need minimum WIN 8.0 to run Capture One 21 and WIN 10 is the max version you can use. Both 64 bit versions and not 32.

    Hi Thodoris

    I'm attempting to tether a P65+ to an M1 Macbook Pro on Monterey (12.7.1) with Capture One 20 (13.1.1.24). It will recognise the camera. I can change the ISO or image quality from Capture One, as you would expect. I can shoot from the camera or trigger it from Capture One. In both cases, however, no image comes into Capture One. I get the small orange line around the "shutter button" in Capture One indicating that there is an incoming shot but nothing ever comes. I can trigger one more shot but then the camera will not respond. 

    As you say this setup should work, what could be stopping the image from being shown in Capture One?

    The camera is connected via a firewire 400-800 cable into a Firewire 800-Thunderbolt 2 adapter into a Thunderbolt 2 to 3 adapter into the laptop.

    I should point out that I have made all the relevant adjustments in Privacy and Security to allow disk access.

    I have also tried resetting permissions via Terminal for Capture One 20.

    I have disabled Google Drive as much as I could (I had deleted it from my normal user account but it still seemed to show up in security settings so I tried creating a new user where it did not appear in those security settings).

    None of these have allowed me to import a single frame.

    I should also add that the setup does work on a Macbook Pro i9 (2019) with Ventura installed and running Capture One 20 (13.1.4.5).

    Is it just that firewire on Apple silicon laptops will only work to the point that it sees the camera and can control it but it can't transfer data to the laptop or is there something that could be stopping the incoming files that I haven't thought of?
