I've seen a lot of info online about tethering dslr cameras to computers. It seems to be mainly for during a photo shoot so that the model can see the photos as they are taken. However all of the info I can seem to find relates to Apple and Canon software. Is there anything like this for Nikons? Specifically for the Nikon D90.

- Choosing Tethered Shooting Software for Nikon DSLR Cameras. Most Nikon DSLR owners are unlikely to have experimented with tethered shooting for one simple reason: Nikon charges in the order of $153 (Amazon) for the required software, where as Canon ships tethered shooting software with their DSLRs at no additional charge. There have been free alternatives available for some time now but they.
- Nikon DSLRs can also be tethered, but unlike Canon, they don't include the software with the camera. Some Nikon and Canon cameras can be tethered to your Mac using Aperture 3.
Here are the Nikon dSLR's that can be teathered to Adobe Lightroom 3.6
Nikon Tethering Software Mac Free
Mac OS X High Sierra 10.13.1. Lightroom CC 2015.13 (also tried with Lightroom Classic CC on a Macbook Pro Retina with TouchBar with Mac OS X High Sierra 10.13.1) Nikon D90 with newest Firmware. Tethering works without problem using the trial version of Nikon's Camera Control Pro 2 or the Desktop Version of qDSLRdashboard. Here are the Nikon dSLR's that can be teathered to Adobe Lightroom 3.6. D3 D3s D3x D90 D300 D300s D700 D5000 D7000. This is an old list, so the Nikon D5100 and new D4, D800 can probably be tethered to Lightroom as well.

Nikon Camera Control will tether most of their DSLRs. Kind of expensive.
There are free alternatives out there if you search. From what I saw a year or two ago, the free alternatives weren't working very well.
Tethering Nikon Camera To Computer
Most Nikon DSLRs can be tethered. I have been successful with a D90 and Lightroom.
Also almost any camera that uses a SD card can be tethered if you use the appropriate EyeFi card with the software that comes with the card.
Nikon Dslr Tethering Software For Mac
The current versions of Lightroom Classic and Lightroom 6 support tethered capture for the cameras listed in this document on currently supported operating systems.
Note:
Looking for information pertaining to older versions of Lightroom? See Legacy tethered camera support.
Testing conducted by Apple in October 2018 using preproduction 3.2GHz 6-core Intel Core i7-based Mac mini systems with 64GB of RAM and 2TB SSD, and shipping 3.0GHz dual-core Intel Core i7-based Mac mini systems with 16GB of RAM and 1TB SSD. Tested using MainStage 3.4.0 playing a Concert with one Kontakt instance using 8Dio's Intimate Strings library. Performance tests are conducted using specific computer systems and reflect the approximate performance of Mac mini.

For all Nikon cameras:
Nikon Tether Apps
- Tethering with the following models may be unreliable on Mac OS when burst shooting: D300, D300S, D700, D3, D3S, D3X, D90, D5000, D7000, D5100, D7200
- If you trigger the shutter with the tether bar capture button, the image must finish downloading before another photo can be captured. Triggering a capture with the shutter release button on the camera does not have this limitation.
- Images do not save to the compact flash card. They are downloaded only to the computer.
- If you're using Lightroom Classic version 8.1 or earlier, only one Nikon camera can be attached at a time for tether. In Lightroom Classic version 8.2 (February 2019 release), support for tethering multiple Nikon cameras has been provided.
For all other camera models that are not listed in this page, contact the camera manufacturer to get information about tethering support in Lightroom Classic.
The following Canon camera models support Live View in Lightroom Classic:
- Canon EOS 5D Mark III
- Canon EOS 5D Mark IV
- Canon EOS 6D
- Canon EOS 5D Mark II
- Canon EOS 7D
- Canon EOS 80D
- Canon EOS 5DS
Note: Live view for Canon 5D M2 works only with the Still Only mode.
