In this release of CameraRC Deluxe we added support for the Nikon D7500. Also added is a new Custom Bracketing feature for the Professional Edition. Custom Bracketing allows creating brackets that use any combination of Aperture, Shutter Speed, and Sensitivity (ISO) to create brackets that can span the full exposure range of your Nikon Camera with any number of shots – A perfect addition for photographing the upcoming solar eclipse.

This release also incorporates the latest version of the Nikon provided camera libraries for Mac that resolve some potential issues in OSX 10.12 (Sierra). For more information on the changes see the Release Notes.

This is a small maintenance releases that fixes an issue primarily with Mac computers intermittently disconnecting from the camera following an image capture. See the 2.1.7 Release Notes. See Release Notes 2.1.6 for a summary of major changes in the last 2 releases.

This is a small maintenance releases that fixes an issue with Mac computers not showing all controls on the Live View and Shooting tabs of the camera control panel. An issue with not being able to set focus points when in 3D Matrix focus mode was corrected. See the 2.1.6 Release Notes for a full description of changes in this and 2.1.5 release.

We are happy to announce that CameraRC Deluxe now supports the El Capitan release of OSX. We thank everyone for their patience in waiting for us to complete the update – it is very important to us to spend significant time testing the major changes that were required. The new Version is available for immediate download. Note that El Capitan does not support the D40, D40X, D60, D80, and D200; CameraRC will continue to support these camera models but only on versions of OSX prior to El Capitan.

Nikon today released their new SDKs that support El Capitan. The new SDKs support all previous Nikon Cameras except the D40, D40X, D60, D80, and D200. Here at CameraRC we are planning to release the update to support El Capitan in our Deluxe Edition sometime in January of 2016. We have quite a bit of work to do both to integrate with the new SDK and test the updates. If you would like to be notified when support is ready or help in our BETA testing please sign up on our El Capitan mailing list.

We have been investigating issues with getting CameraRC Deluxe to connect cameras on OSX 10.11 (El Capitan) and have determined this is an issue with compatibility between the Nikon provided SDK and the OSX operating system. It appears that the Nikon libraries will no longer connect to the cameras. From what we can tell CameraRC Deluxe is not the only program facing this issue, we have seen reports that other tethering solutions are having a similar problem (https://nikonrumors.com/2015/10/05/tethering-nikon-cameras-with-lightroom-6cc-2015-on-el-capitan-os-is-not-working.aspx/).

For the latest information on El Capitan support see our UPDATE.

We are happy to announce the release of the new CameraRC Deluxe Edition. CameraRC Deluxe Edition has all of the great features of our standard edition, plus adds in native Mac support along with a number of great new usability features.
