Nikon cameras tend to be a bit more complex to program and get running.  Here are a few ideas to help you.

Reset and Set Proper Camera Configurations:

Make sure you reset your Nikon camera and set the proper camera settings as suggested on our website.


Changing Nikon Exposure Settings (Aperture and Shutter) Not Reflected in Live View:

All Nikon cameras offer exposure simulation in A, S, and P modes, which can be selected using the mode dial on top of the camera.
However, in Manual Mode (M), not all Nikon cameras support live view exposure simulation. Check if your camera supports this feature Visere Captura's Specification Page.

If your camera support supports Live View Simulation then turn Off Auto ISO Sensitivity:

  • Make sure your camera is up to date on the latest firmware.

Other General Suggestions:

  1. Make sure you are running the latest version of your OS and the latest version of Visere Captura. Different versions of Visere Captura use different Nikon SDK drivers and some may be non-compatible with the latest OSes.
  2. If you are on Mac, consider using the PTP drivers.
  3. Make sure you don't have any other applications, that use the Nikon camera, started:
    1. If you have Photoshop Lightroom or other camera control utilities turn them off and restart the computer.  Check your startup configurations, too, and make sure that none of these utilities are started at reboot time.
    2. If you are using a PTP connection on Mac then make sure you don't have Mac's Preview application running.
