Nikon does not currently offer official support for macOS 15.x. Their most recent publicly available SDK dates back to Fall 2024, and the SDK download site is currently under maintenance: https://sdk.nikonimaging.com/maintenance/en/ Although Nikon’s camera control software is compatible with macOS 15.x, it was only released in February 2025: https://www.nikonimgsupport.com/na/NSG_article?articleNo=000066869&configured=1&lang=en_SG It’s likely that this application uses an updated SDK that has not yet been made publicly available. |

Nikon cameras tend to be a bit more complex to program and get running. Here are a few ideas to help you.
1. Remove all SD Cards:

2. Reset and Set Proper Camera Configurations:
Make sure you reset your Nikon camera and set the proper camera settings as suggested on our website.
3. 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 supports Live View Simulation then turn Off Auto ISO Sensitivity:
1. Go to the Shooting Menu → ISO Sensitivity Settings.
2. Set the Auto ISO Sensitivity Control to OFF. (For low lighting, this is typically set to ON.)
