30D Teathered to Lightroom

Does anyone know if a 30D can be teathered directly into Lightroom? If so, what would be the proper LR setup to accomplish this? Thanks in advance.

Not sure of the details but I think you can set Lightroom to watch and auto-import from whatever folder you let the Capture software use so each shot goes straight in. I am repeating something I was told so treat with a dose of skepticism but it might be worth a try.

You must use the EOS utility for the teathered shooting and set it up to save the files in the Watched Folder of Lightroom.

I had a session last weekend shooting like that, it's great when you have absolute control. As Mike have said you must use EOS utility and make watched folder which Lightroom is going to scan automatically if update of the folder occur. Just search with google shooting tethered with lightroom, there are quite few instructions on how to set it up.

Tethered shooting on the PC sucks at times, did it on the weekend and it gave me heaps of trouble. I've seen someone do it on a mac with no problems at all.

I have seen a buddy of mine shoot teathered into a Dell XPS and DPP. Very impressive and looked seamless.

I shoot mine teathered all the time with an hp laptop and DPP. I planon getting a
WFT-E1a wieless transmitter

Never had a problem here... what kind of problems are you experiencing? Are you using old 1.1usb or 2.0? What kind of extra services are you running?

I've shoot on couple occasions with compaq laptop AMD3500+, also, never had any problems.
WFT-E1 is way too expensive in my oppinion.

Tethered shooting is pretty straightforward. Use the EOS utility to take/capture each photo to a specified folder. You can have EOS Utility set up to link either to DPP or Zoombrowser or None. When you take the shot the chosen application is started (or focus changes to it) and you see your photo displayed. In DPP you just get a folder view of all shots as they are added. In Zoombrowser you get a preview of the last photo taken. If you want to use Lightroom there is no automated link from EOS Utility but if you have Lightroom set up to monitor the EOS Utility capture folder it can then auto import to its own library and display the Library Grid (a bit like DPP's folder view) to show each photo being added/imported.

Here are screen prints of my setup with EOS Utility with DPP, EOS Utility with Zoombrowser and finally EOS Utility with Lightroom.

I've also just realised, and confirmed, that if you have Lightroom pointing at the "Previous Import" rather than the import folder then you can view the last photo captured together with histogram and exif etc..

NAPP"s Darkroom publication that comes with the Photoshop user magazine had this exact process laid out simply in the first issue last month. If you can get a copy, it will walk you step by step.

Sorry to bring back a thread from the dead..however, I just followed the steps to do the teathered shooting to lightroom. I even saw a video on google on how to do it. I set it up exactly like instructed. My problem is that it asks me where I want to save the file each time I take a picture. I get the import pop-up. After seeing the video, I shouldn't be getting the pop-up.

This is the same pop-up you get when you import pictures from a folder, just so I'm clear. Does anyone know what may be going wrong for me? I've been on this for about 3 hours now and can't figure it out!

Nevermind..I figured it out. Thanks tho and sorry for bring this back up.
