Okay been shooting in studio for two days straight and both days I have had some issues tethering. First I'm having a hard time setting up a new session and getting communication going between MBP and body. This is not a cord issue. I actually found a USB 3 20 ft cable they other day and even my extension cable same issue. Love to hear a foolproof way of exactly getting connection. I found today hitting the info button on the cam actually induced communication after a bunch of try's.
Second issue even bigger at 543 images I lost connection yesterday and today bam same thing it happened at 413. After many try's no way in hell could I get it to communicate. Yes rebooted and every trick I knew. Solved it by starting a completely new session and starting fresh. Also my mouse went south and kept losing Bluetooth connection. Very strange behavior here and its bugging me. Just wondering if I am hitting some type of limit wall on raws.
Three , yea not out of the woods yet here. Shooting along at 2 different times I lost connection for about 5 frames or so. Turned camera off than back on and started working again but I lost those 5 images to nowhere , not computer not CF card. Now batteries where starting to run low about 20 percent left I would say.
Question if I have a question here is what behavior patterns are you seeing tethered. Now this is far from the rock steady performance that I had with my Phase back which never missed a frame.
Camera related at one point my whole AF system died and would not focus until I rebooted camera. Frankly starting to get concerned. At one point I was down 10 minutes with model on seamless waiting. Little disappointed here.
