Hey guys,
I would really benefit from shooting in tethered mode when it comes to studio/product stuff.www.mattjonesphotography.com
I cant say for sure Matt because I use 1D bodies, however the software to do it is included on the same CD as DPP etc that comes with the body…Off the top of my head its called EOS Utilities. Check the CD installation options.
I think with the Pro sumers bodies you have to use a USB connection, where as with 1D bodies you can use firewire but to the best of my knowledge and I admit I could be wrong on this, thats the only difference.
Hey Matt –
There was a recent thread related to this – with a cheap USB device. Try a search for that – it was during the second half of 2009, if I recall correctly, and I think there were a couple of good answers in there.

It’s REALLY easy to shoot tethered with the DPP softwear.
Plug the camera in, select ‘control camera’ in the DPP menu and away you go.
If you shoot to a folder on the desktop you can also then open that folder in Bridge (and I assume Lightroom) to then edit/view with familiar softwear.
The DPP runs in the background.You can shoot with or without cards in the camera – I use them as a back-up.
It is the best way to shoot product stuff, but I find it a bit slow for shooting people in the studio.

A picture is thousand words that takes less than a second while a thousand words is a picture that takes a month.
USB connection from computer to camera.
Use the Canon software that comes with your camera.
You can then use Adobe Lightroom if you have it to import all of your photos live and view them instantly in LightRoom.
I bought a USB cord and extension at Walmart. My cord is 15ft and works great. Get the gold tip connections.
While I shoot Nikon, this thread will offer some help on the setup:

I hope that helps.
