If you camera and software combo supports live view, this is when you’ll start seeing the feed on your laptop.
SOFORTBILD LIVE VIEW MANUAL
Some programs offer auto connect, while in others it is a manual process. Once everything is setup and depending on the software you would need to “connect” to the camera. A similar effect can be achieved with a Velcro fastener which is way cheaper. it stops the cable from pulling on the socket. If you want to make sure the cable does not put any strain on the USB port, Tethertools sells a small buckle called JerkStopper. If anyone bumps into one of the tripods (which should not happen anyways) I’d rather loose connectivity than having the camera or laptop getting knocked over, so I just plug the USB into the camera and computer. I have seen another photographers secure the cable to the tripods or laptop, but I just leave it free. Then there is the cable that connects the camera to the computer. This is not necessary, but for prolonged shooting it is one less thing to worry about. If conditions allow, I try and hook up the laptop to a power outlet. My tethered setup usually includes two tripods, one holds the camera and the other holds a laptop table.

You have at least one level of redundancy (memory card + computer), but you can also use a raid, a portable drive or any other configuration that makes you feel good about file safety.

Lastly, this means that your files can be auto backed-up while you shoot. for example when you are doing a composite shoot, you can stack the images and make sure everything is properly placed and ready for editing. Sometimes this can really ease up your workflow. This also allows you to perform quick or verifications on the photographs you shoot (focus, exposure and so on…). They can watch the images immediately on a big comfortable screen. This means that you, the photographer, are not the only person on set and have a supervising art director, client, or other stake holders, you don’t need to interrupt the session to download images into a computer or get a huddle-up behind your back to watch your LCD. Why would you want to do that? I can think of at least several reasons: The first of which is quickly watching the raw photographs on the computer. You would probably wanna shoot tethered for the speed at which you ca n get the files onto a computer. In this tutorial, I am going to go over tethered shooting, why (or when) you should shoot tethered, how it is done and what is the gear involved. Usually, the camera and computer are connected by cable, hence tethering. Tethered shooting is connecting a computer to the camera when you shoot so the pictures you take a downloaded to the computer rather than (or in addition) to a memory card.
