Is there any way to control my Nikon D50 with my MBP? As in when it is attached with the USB cable, can i adjust aperture, shutter speed and all the electronic settings without touching it, and then take pictures as well. So if i am taking a multi shot HDR, or anything else that i don't not want shake from?
Got a tip for us?

you can use Nikon's camera control pro to do all of that

No, NX doesn't do tethered shooting, NCC is the Nikon answer. But with Bibble Pro you get 3rd party lens correction and better cross-platform support than Nik software's currently offering.
As of Leopard, you can supposedly do this using Image Capture. You probably need to switch your camera's connection mode to PTP as well, rather than Mass Storage.
It's one of those new features I've been meaning to try but haven't got 'round to it yet™.

You're right, it was Nikon Capture Control that I was thinking of.
I'm so used to using the Fuji Hyper Utility that I don't even bother with the Nikon side much anymore...

Image Capture works fine with my D50. But it is very primitive. The only thing it can do is trip the shutter. No control of the other camera settings.
