That bites.. I gave up on tethered shooting anyway. Just another cord to trip over. Still love my DMR though. Could certainly use a firmware update. I get occasional crashes when really pushing the 1.1 firmware. 1.2 seems stable but the color shift on the LCD is really disturbing. Is anyone working on 1.3 ? I'll prob have a R10 by the time it does come out.
