I was very surprised that there was no md3 file for the new cameras. It turns out the new cameras are using nikon NX software for tethering. I made a quick work around for a hot-folder to get by. Does anyone know if a new SDK is available for the Z5ii. No mention of one on the Nikon website, but reading further about the new generation of cameras moving forward they are all going to be using the NX software (Z6iii and others as they get released)....TomWed, 19 Nov 2025 23:28:35 -0000https://sourceforge.net/p/nikoncswrapper/discussion/general/thread/f6b9d10ebe/?limit=25#dcddhttps://sourceforge.net/p/nikoncswrapper/discussion/general/thread/b0801bbd9a/?limit=25#fcf0Hi Tom, Glad you are making progress.

I am shooting under LED hotlights and the combinate of cool and warm LEDs measure very close to 4000 Kelvin.

Nikon's underlying SDK has supported Windows 11 for almost three years. None of its low level dependencies (that I know of) should cause you any problem. The wrapper itself is agnostic.

I have been using microsoft surface pros without any issues (up to and including surface pro 10 on windows 11), but now I can't get them anymore.

The SDK wrapper absolutely works with the D850. I see two problems with your current code.... First, when the camera writes to a disk location, the event that is triggered is ImageReady. The CaptureComplete event never happens. CaptureComplete is only triggered when writing to the card in the camera. Pretty confusing names! So if you move the line waitForCaptureComplete.Set() to the DeviceImageReady event handler, you will be on the right track. The second problem is...Warren HatchWed, 23 Oct 2024 21:03:03 -0000https://sourceforge.net/p/nikoncswrapper/discussion/general/thread/575bd05198/?limit=25#c7c7https://sourceforge.net/p/nikoncswrapper/discussion/general/thread/575bd05198/?limit=25#b7e7Hi warren , Thanks for your reply. i explored the demoCapture.cs but can't understand the flow.

To cause it to save an image to the computer, you need to set capability eNkMAIDCapability.kNkMAIDCapability_SaveMedia to eNkMAIDSaveMedia.kNkMAIDSaveMedia_Card. The piece you are missing is the ImageReady event handler. This will be triggered once the exposure has completed following device.Capture(). There is an example in the demo_capture program that should give you an idea of what needs to be done. -WarrenWarren HatchTue, 22 Oct 2024 14:22:59 -0000https://sourceforge.net/p/nikoncswrapper/discussion/general/thread/575bd05198/?limit=25#39f3https://sourceforge.net/p/nikoncswrapper/discussion/general/thread/575bd05198/?limit=25#a59cI am trying to control my Nikon D850 camera through a C# project.

Never had a problem. Just ran a test to pull the aperture values after a few hundred updates to the comments. No issue on this end. The wrapper doesn't do anything to ensure your comment has a valid length or character encoding, it just blindly moves the comment bytes. I suppose that could cause the type of downstream issues you are seeing. My first step would be to ensure the string you are passing is 36 bytes or less.Warren HatchThu, 21 Mar 2024 20:10:22 -0000https://sourceforge.net/p/nikoncswrapper/discussion/general/thread/192015625d/?limit=25#b218https://sourceforge.net/p/nikoncswrapper/discussion/general/thread/192015625d/?limit=25#f2d0I ran into some weird issue that I think might be a bug in the SDK wrapper. When I set and enable the image comment multiple times, the SDK can get into a weird state where for example the list of Apertures comes back as null or worse, all the entries are filled with something like "Focus (Lv)" instead of the individual aperture values.

Then trip the shutter with your current code. I expect that the SDK will mimic the behavior of the camera when bracketing is enabled - the entire bracketed sequence will be taken with a single activation of the shutter. -WarrenWarren HatchSun, 10 Mar 2024 13:18:25 -0000https://sourceforge.net/p/nikoncswrapper/discussion/general/thread/2b5e95cf89/?limit=25#9b32https://sourceforge.net/p/nikoncswrapper/discussion/general/thread/2b5e95cf89/?limit=25#a43cWell, the bracketing works when doing multiple Capture calls... it just would have been nice to fire off the whole bracket in one call and get the call backs on which files were written to the SD Card and when the whole sequence is finished.

I'm trying to write an application that controls my D850 with different timed sets of exposures. I record all images to the SD card due to the time it would take to get them over USB. When I take single exposures, this all works fine. I can set all the exposure parameters fine including AE bracketing. What I have not figured out yet is how I tell the camera to take all exposures of the bracket with one call to capture.

You just need to set the filename variable in the ImageReady event handler to your specification. If your question is how to create code to generate a unique filename, there are better forums for asking C# programming questions.

You can simply comment it out. One more thing you might try before I can rig up a test harness next week. After you execute: Device.SetUnsigned(eNkMAIDCapability.kNkMAIDCapability_LiveViewPhotoShootingMode, (uint)eNkMAIDLiveViewPhotoShootingMode.kNkMAIDLiveViewPhotoShootingMode_Silent); See what happens is you introduce a small delay. Say with: Thread.Sleep(1000); -WarrenWarren HatchThu, 08 Feb 2024 19:03:47 -0000https://sourceforge.net/p/nikoncswrapper/discussion/general/thread/b2e300ace1/?limit=25#e7fbhttps://sourceforge.net/p/nikoncswrapper/discussion/general/thread/b2e300ace1/?limit=25#6695Yes, latest firmware 3.6. I would also like to write to my computer's hard disk without using the dialog box which comes up with device.SetUnsigned(eNkMAIDCapability.kNkMAIDCapability_SaveMedia, (uint)eNkMAIDSaveMedia.kNkMAIDSaveMedia_SDRAM); Need to autonumber the files as well as the camera will run unattended for quite awhile.

Presuming you are not issuing a DeviceReady, I would assume you have LiveView enabled. Try turning it Off. The name of the capability to activate Silent Mode certainly suggests it expects LV to be enabled. But that exception says otherwise.
