Nikon NX Tether v2.5.0

Tethered shooting software for Nikon Z and DSLR systems

Description

Nikon NX Tether v2.5.0 is the latest evolution of Nikon's free tethered shooting software, designed to streamline workflow in studio and professional productions. This release introduces official support for macOS Tahoe (v26) and Windows 11, optimizing the stability of the connection between the camera body and the computer for high-intensity sessions. It is an indispensable tool for photographers who require instant viewing and remote control of parameters in a controlled environment.

One of the most significant improvements in this release is support for displaying video frame rates in decimal format, allowing for more precise control in film productions (requires firmware v1.10 or higher on the Nikon ZR). Additionally, the interface has been refined to display technical information more clearly, making it easier to monitor camera status and transfer files in real time without interruptions.

It is important to note that a starting with this version an active Nikon ID account is required to use the software. Nikon has also ended support for older operating systems such as macOS Ventura, so it is recommended to update the operating system before installation. NX Tether is compatible with a wide range of Z series cameras (including Z9, Z8 and ZR) as well as leading brand professional DSLRs.
