Tethered mode
Tethered mode means that you connect your imaging module to your computer using a FireWire cable
for shooting. In tethered mode, your shots are sent directly to and are saved on your computer.
The Leaf AF i camera system is designed for both portable shooting and tethered shooting.
In tethered mode, you can see your photos on your computer as you shoot, set some basic camera settings
from the Leaf Capture software, use the controls in the Leaf Capture software to take shots, and use the
Leaf Live View feature. Tethered shooting also enables you to store images directly on your computer.
Other advantages to tethered mode include power management, working with the imaging module when
it is not attached to the camera, and downloading images from your CF card.
For more information on shooting tethered and using the Leaf Capture software to control your camera,
refer to the Leaf Capture help system.
