Camera Control - Nikon Z 8 Reference Manual

Camera Control

The camera can be controlled from a computer running Camera Control Pro 2 (available separately) or
free NX Tether software. Photos can be saved directly to the computer instead of to the memory card
and can consequently be taken even when no memory card is inserted in the camera.
You will still need to insert a memory card when filming videos.
Note that the camera standby timer does not expire in camera control mode.
Before using Camera Control Pro 2 or NX Tether, connect the
camera and computer via Ethernet or wireless LAN (

0
is listed in green in the [Connect to computer] display.

Launch the copy of Camera Control Pro 2 or NX Tether installed on the host computer.

Control the camera using Camera Control Pro 2 or NX Tether.
For information on taking pictures using Camera Control Pro 2 or NX Tether, see the online help
or other documentation for the software in question.
