Display and transfer is much slower but it works fine anyway and it does the job. In Darktable plug camera into your M1 Mac, switch camera on, click 'mount' and you'll be taken to the tethering tab. Alternative solution: install darktable, it's free for all and it works fine with my D850 (haven't tried it with the Z7 I wouldn't dream of using the Z7 for my studio work). I think I will keep this process even after they have updated the firmware because it works fine and it's quite effective.Ģ. All postprod being done on a newer, more powerful Mac. The trick is to recycle an older Mac and dedicate it to the studio. A bit convoluted but the process works fine and is fast.

NEF files are passed to the other side (synchronised through the Synology Drive SW rather), I even use 2 different catalogues to avoid conflicts (I synchronise my Lightroom catalogues between macs via Onedrive at ). I switched macs in the studio, I shoot tethered on my Intel Mac and select the pictures with my client to delete unnecessary shots, I save all on the local SSD, it synchonises on my Synology SAN, then I go back to my desk with the more powerful M1, it synchronises with the SAN in realtime, I then open the relevant Lighroom catalogue and go into post prod on the M1.

Here's what I did to solve the issue, if that's any help to you.ġ. I ran into the same issue and as I'm shooting with my D850 tethered to Lightroom on my M1 computer, I've had to find a workaround.
