DSUSB cable with Nikon D7000
Posted: Thu Aug 02, 2018 11:07 am
I received my DSUSB cable Monday, thank you. It looks great, very professional.
I hooked it up and used DSUSBCheck_setup.exe to check its functionality. Everything seems to work. I do have a couple of questions.
I hooked the DSUSB cable up to my Nikon D7000, attached the DSUSB cable to a 7 port USB3 HUB which connected to my laptop through a USB2 active repeater cable. I started Backyard Nikon but my camera would not connect. I then added the standard camera USB cable and BYN could see the camera and connected and everything worked except the Mirrolock delay. I then set the Mode Dial to “Mup” (mirror up mode), and was able to use the mirror lock delay. But with the dial in “Mup” mode, Live View for "Frame & Focus" would not work. Is this how it is supposed to work?
According to the Backyard Nikon’s User Manual mirror lock is not supported for Nikon cameras, so I was surprised when it worked.
So, it looks like with the mode dial in the “S” position (single frame mode), everything works as expected. If I set the mode dial to “Mup”, I can lock the mirror up with a delay, but then when I select “Frame & Focus” nothing happens. Is this how it should work?
