Product Description

Camera Control Pro 2 Upgrade is a discounted upgrade-only version and requires a valid serial number from Camera Control Pro version 1.0 - 1.3; users without this number will not be able to use this software and must purchase Camera Control Pro 2 Full (product number25366). Otherwise, this software is identical to Camera Control Pro 2 Full. This software remotely controls most functions of Nikon digital SLRs from a computer that is connected via USB cable or through wired or wireless LAN using a wireless transmitter. Advanced functions of the new Nikon D3 and D300 such as Viewer for preview and selection of images prior to transfer to a computer, Liveview function and Picture Control System are supported. It also supports workflows of Nikon's exclusive photofinishing software Capture NX (optional) and browser and viewer software ViewNX. Compatible with the new functions of the Nikon D3/D300 Images in a camera buffer can be confirmed with thumbnail or preview display on a computer prior to transferring, enabling deletion of unnecessary images. This remarkably increases efficiency. Supporting the Liveview mode (Hand-held mode and Tripod mode) of the D3 and D300, it permits adjustment of focus point and shutter release while confirming the image on a computer. In Tripod mode, focal-plane contrast AF on a desired point within a specific area is possible. It also supports Picture Control System of the cameras. Picture Cont

3.0 out of 5 stars Only 3 Stars for 2 Reasons..., September 6, 2010

This review is from: Nikon Camera Control Pro 2 Software Upgrade for Nikon DSLR Cameras (Electronics)

I have the original Nikon Camera Control Pro and I like this program. I had to get this upgrade to Pro 2 in order to use my D90 and new D300s. I'm only giving this 3 Stars for these 2 reasons.
1. -1 Star because I think this software, along with most of Nikon software is extremely overpriced, should be included with the cameras. At least the Upgrades should be free for people who own prior versions. But it's just like Nikon to bring out new equipment and none of your previous accessories will work.(Examples: Battery Grips, AC adapters, cords, Lens caps & filters, LCD covers etc...
2.-1 Star because after loading the upgrade, the program could not "detect" either of my cameras but still detected my D40x. After I got over the horror of the thought of having to try and contact "Nikon Technical Support" (another issue) an idea came to me. I'd better check for "Updates".. Lo and Behold there was one and after waiting 15 minutes for it to download to my laptop,,, everything worked.. Nowhere could I find on the box containing the Upgrade CD does it mention anything about the possibility of the need to check for Upadates nor is anything mention in the included PDF Manual. In fact the only mention of it at all is that "Camera Pro2 Automatically Checks for Updates"... It clearly states on the box it supports both the D90 and D300s and one would assume they would work right out of the box.. So what should have taken 10 minutes,,, took me a couple hours...
Thus only 3 Stars...
