Best Free Tethering Software for Nikons and Macs. Recently we wanted to test tethering our Nikon D7000 to a Macbook Pro running Sierra. For those who don’t know what tethering is, it’s hooking up your camera to the computer. In this particular instance, we’ll assume the camera is a DSLR and the connected device a laptop computer, as this is a very common tethered shooting setup. In this case, you’ll need: An extra long (ie. 15 feet) USB cable to connect your camera to your laptop; Tethering software, such as Adobe Lightroom or Canon EOS Utility 3.
Originally named Nikon Camera Control, digiCamControl came about last year when programmer Duka Istvan set about creating a free program that could control his newly-purchased D5100. After looking at his programming options and playing around with both Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) and Nikon’s SDK, he wound up settling on Media Transfer Protocol (MTP), a solution that offered much more in way of control than the others he had looked into.

Once a picture is taken, you also have control over the image transfer, naming, and storing of the shot right from inside the program. And after setting up your camera within digiCamControl, it can also be worked wirelessly from any tablet or smartphone with a web browser.
