Nikon D850 connection drops randomly
Posted: 28.02.2019 00:15
I've got a Nikon D850 connected to an iMac Pro via a new TetherTools 15' USB cable. It's plugged directly into the iMac USB-A port, not a hub. I don't have any other apps running, only Helicon Remote.
The connection to the camera keeps dropping and then reconnecting within a few seconds. The time between drops is random. Sometimes it'll happen every few seconds, other times it's every few minutes. It'll happen while trying to set up my focus points, which resets them when the connection returns (frustrating) or while I'm in the middle of shooting a stack (exasperating).
At this point, I can't even use the software because the connection won't stay alive long enough to capture a full stack. Where do I begin to troubleshoot this?
