NKRemote Help

Overview

NKRemote allows recent Nikon digital SLR cameras to be operated tethered to a PC using a USB cable. All of the camera's controls remain fully operational when connected to the PC and pictures can be taken directly using the camera's shutter release or remotely from the PC.

It is advisable to use a mains DC adaptor when using NKRemote for extended periods or when using the time lapse features. If the camera is located a long way from the PC or is not easily accessible it is essential that there is a way of turning the power to the camera on and off. Then if there is a communication failure between the camera and PC it is possible to turn everything off and to start again.
 

Supported Cameras and Operating Systems

NKRemote runs on Windows XP or Windows Vista (32-bit versions only) and supports the following Nikon DSLR camera models: Nikon D3X, Nikon D3s, Nikon D3, Nikon D700, Nikon D300s, Nikon D300, Nikon D90, Nikon D7000, Nikon D5100, Nikon D5000, Nikon D200 and Nikon D80

NKRemote also runs on Windows 7 (both 32-bit and 64-bit versions) provided Vista compatibility mode is selected. Normally NKRemote will do this automatically the first time it is run. If for some reason this does not work you can do this manually by right clicking on the NKRemote desktop icon and selecting "Properties". Then click on the the "Compatibility" tab, check "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" and select "Vista" from the drop down list.
