 Nikon WT4 Transmitter - Software
Camera Control Pro 2 enables adjustment of various settings of Nikon digital SLRs from a computer, and saves them. In addition to the functions of Camera Control Pro introduced in 2006, Camera Control Pro 2 supports various functions of the Nikon D3 and D300 such as Preview prior to transfer to a computer, Live view and Picture Control System. Thumbnail display function is also available. With these advanced features, Camera Control Pro 2 is essential software for studio shooting, etc.
Nikon WT4 Wireless Transmitter - LAN and Transmission range
When using Camera Control Pro 2 with the Nikon WT-4 set in PC mode, camera operation can be controlled from a connected computer. This is convenient in large-volume studio shooting for confirming images on a computer display. The Nikon WT-4 is a high-performance wireless transmitter that offers diversified image transfer capabilities when connected with the Nikon D3 or D300 via USB cable. It supports wireless LAN conforming to IEEE 802.11b/g, IEEE 802.11a, and wired LAN conforming to IEEE 802.3u (100BASE-TX) and IEEE 802.3 (10BASE-T). Transmission range when wireless LAN is used is approx. 180 m (IEEE 802.11b/g) or 260 m (IEEE 802.11a). (Varies according to transmission conditions.)
Nikon WT4 Set - Cable connection and Wireless support
External dimensions are approx. 125 (W) x 65 (H) x 35 (D) mm, and weight is 131 g (body only). In order to maintain operability of a camera, the WT-4 is not directly mounted on the camera bottom, but is connected via a cable. A soft case that can be attached to a belt and a neck-strap are supplied as standard accessories. With wireless LAN, IEEE 802.11b/g and 11a are supported. With wired LAN, IEEE 802.3u (100BASE-TX) and IEEE 802.3 (10BASE-T) are supported. With wireless LAN, transmission range is approx. 180 m (IEEE 802.11b/g) and 260 m (IEEE 802.11a). Ad-hoc mode enables peer-to-peer connection of a WT-4 and a computer or FTP server. Infrastructure mode enables connection via an access point.
WT4 Wireless Transmitter connection modes
• Image Transfer mode: Images stored in a memory card and those just taken can be transferred and saved on a computer or FTP server
• Thumbnail Select mode: Thumbnail images can be displayed on a connected computer, and selected images can be downloaded and saved
• PC mode: With Camera Control Pro 2 (optional), camera settings can be controlled and images taken can be transferred and saved on a computer
• Printer mode: JPEG images stored in a memory card can be transferred to a printer connected with a computer
Nikon WT-4 Wireless Transmitter - Thumbnail and Multi-connection
When the Nikon D3 or D300 is connected with the WT-4 via USB cable, several cameras can be wirelessly connected with a computer. This mode permits thumbnail display of images taken with up to five wirelessly connected cameras on a computer display. Images selected by confirming the thumbnail can be downloaded and saved on the computer. With this mode, both photographer and computer operator can concentrate on their own assignment
