Tethered shooting with extension cable

[RoyGee]

Good day:)

I have only recently started using dCC for tethered shooting with my Nikon D5300. Thank you so much for the sotware - it is really great!

My problem is that I could only find a 1.5m cable, which is somewhat limiting. I have tried using a 5m extension, but, although the computer picks up the camera, dCC does not.

Any ideas?

Depends on cable quality maybe windows recognize the camera but the communication isn't stable enough for larger data transfer. You can try to use a separately powered usb hub with the cable or try a another brand cable. Some time ago i used a Nikon D7100 with a 5 m USB cable and was working right
Additionally please upload your log file from c:\ProgramData\digiCamControl\Log\app.log

Thank you - I believe the cable is of good quality as I have used it for other file transfer applications, but I'll try a powered hub (if I can find such a thing!)

I have edited the log file to delete activity before I tried the extension cord as it was too large to attach

Did you ever find a cable that goes from the D7100 accessory port to a laptop USB?...I had one and then ran over it with my lawnmower. Haven't been able to find a replacement. And FYI, I was able to control shutter, focus, exposure, and a variety of other features with DigiCamControl before I shredded the cable.
