Nikon D850

Sequence Generator Equipment Compatibility

Is the D850 supported by SGP and, if so, is anyone aware of whether the shoestring adapter is required? I’ve only used SGP with my SBIG but a friend wants to piggyback on my scope and I wanted to verify what we’ll need as I’m not familiar with Nikons.

D850 should work but I don’t have one for testing so can’t verify. Also a Shoestring adapter should not be needed for bulb.

Probably best to just grab the release and start a trial to verify.

Thanks,

Jared,

Which release would support the Nikon D850 camera? Running SGP 2.x and not seeing it in the Nikon dropdown menu. When I try to connect - as a workaround - the D850 giving D810a as type, it fails to connect. No problem however with the D810a itself.

Best regards
Dodi

Dodi,
The 3.0 release added the D850. You can give a trial a shot and see if it works for you.

Thanks,
Jared

Thanks Jared. Any chanche it makes it to 2.X? I see for the moment no reasons to upgrade to 3 yet.
Looks a bit like Adobe PS where one gets support for newer cameras at major releases :slight_smile:

It will not. 2.6 will not receive any additional development. We may, at our discretion, fix major issues but given the stability of 2.6 I don’t really see this happening.

Thanks,
Jared
