Hi
A new user and I have found Capture One to be extremely good. Had some spare time so thought I would try tethering my Nikon D300. Connected OK but can only operate the shutter will not focus. Am I missing something. Operating system Windows Vista
many thanks

Paul

  That is correct. Tethering involves triggering the release button from within Capture One.

  Hi Paul
  Sorry I meant within Capture only the shutter button works the rest of the controls are grayed out.
  
  Thanks
  Paul

  Hi Paul,
  I think I did not express myself properly. You can only use the shutter button in Capture One for your D300; that's all you have available for that camera type. Other controls - which are grayed out - apply to Phase One cameras only.

  Hi Paul
  
  Thats disappointing but not the end of the day as I do have and use camera control 2 from Nikon. I was misled as yes the shutter button worked but did not carry out the focus before hand (the half press). So if I am right I have to focus the camera and then I can use the Phase One shutter release?
  
  Thanks for taking the time to reply.
