Hi all,

I seem to have been roped in to take a load of staff pictures at work.

I was hoping to be able to use the RA software with the K5 but it is not compatible. Does anyone know of a bit of s/w that will allow me to release the shutter from a laptop and save the files straight on the HDD? I'm trying to avoid paper lists of names, if I can save the file with the person's name it'll save me a lot of time later on.

Any ideas would be welcome!

Thanks Tyr, it's exactly what I want and what RA should have been!

Only problem I have with PK_Tether is that there is no 'Live View' in the computer of what you are shooting. Only the result.

Don't know if it is me making a stupid mistake. Would not surprise me.
Kind regards
