Shooting Tethered using Lightroom

This is great stuff see link

Don't think Pentax is supported.

Yes it is mate All are

Not according to Adobe, though that only says supported rather than will work.

I didn't think any Pentax since the K20D supported tethered shooting anyway?

Happy to be proved wrong

Don't think it is mate.

Not officially but PKtether does quite a good job. Still not sure why Pentax couldn't do it but he could.

This dosent say you cant ??? link
ill try and let you know

Your right mike il shut up Lightrooms crap lol. I cant Believe that they do not support pentax god it makes me mad iam fed up with the all others makes, they just take over every thing, and we get missed off the bloody list don’t Adobe want our £800,0000 million custom ?????????????????????????????

Before you get too mad at Adobe, it's Pentax who decided to stop supporting tethered shooting, which is presumably why Lightroom can't support Pentax DSLRs.

but why at times it is needed ???

Sometimes Pentax make absolutely no senses whatsoever to me.

Not even the 645D has tethering and that is supposedly a professional camera.

Iam shocked Mike

I'd speculate that they chop the feature rather than fixing it when there's something wrong that can't be fixed properly quickly.

A bit like the K-5 AF during video recording - didn't the beta firmware support it?

"Oh dear, that makes a right racket. Hmm, we never thought of that (and it's even louder than the SR). I know, we'll just remove the feature."

Comment out a couple of lines of code, problem solved. But it does make them look a bit thick, to say the least.
