Notes on Canon cameras
* For the 60D, 5D Mark III, and 1D X, a card must be in the camera for tethering to work properly.
** Using the 50D in Windows, images can fail to import if the CompactFlash® card is inserted or removed during the session.

Notes on Nikon cameras
For all Nikon cameras:
- Starting with the October 2024 release of Lightroom Classic (version 14.0), relaunching Rosetta emulation mode will not be required for Nikon tethering to work.
- Tethering with the following models may be unreliable on macOS when burst shooting: D300, D300S, D700, D3, D3S, D3X, D90, D5000, D7000, D5100, D7200
- If you trigger the shutter with the tether bar capture button, the image must finish downloading before another photo can be captured. Triggering a capture with the shutter release button on the camera does not have this limitation.
- Images do not save to the compact flash card. They are downloaded only to the computer.
- If you're using Lightroom Classic version 8.1 or earlier, only one Nikon camera can be attached at a time for tether. In Lightroom Classic version 8.2 (February 2019 release), support for tethering multiple Nikon cameras has been provided.
