Lightroom 5: Camera disconnects when tethering
On long exposures, like 10 to 30 seconds, LR will looses the camera. If I just remove and put back the USB cable, the camera is found again.
Any ideas?

I also tested the 7D on OSX 10.8.4.
30 Second Exposures are no problem.

this only seems to happen on my macbook pro (10.8.4, 2.2ghz I7, 16gb ram) using my 5d mark 2 (firmware 2.1.2). every now and then during a shooting session i get a message that tethering quit.

Thank you for somebody to notice.
If I can assist or help in any way reproducing the problem, I will gladly try things out for you or whatever.
I need this functionality in my everyday studio shootings and therefore I heavily depend on your help getting things working.
Please feel free to give me your instructions.

Most of the time the behaviour is like this:
- LR reports camera connected, everything is ok and ready, LR shows correct and responsive exposure controls
- First shot is taken: immediately reporting the progress bar top left, immediately showing an empty thumbnail in the grid view.
- After a few seconds, tehered toolbar switching to "no camera found" for a while, then reports again "D4 found"
- Thumbnail never gets a picture in, Tethering bar is unresponsive, camera body controls are locked, Display shows "PC"
- after a few minutes, LR presents an error pop up which states "A problem wit h Tethering occurs.
- No use in restarting tehered mode or restarting LR. Only reboot works.
Interestingly in the task manager occasionally one can see more and more processes named "tether_nikon.exe" appear one after each error pop up(?), sometimes not.
When trying to do the same with camera control pro 2, things are stable. But ist is a little inconvienient to set this up each time. (Using Camera Control to transfer to the watched Folder, then autoimport in LR).
When I compare Versions and date of the diver files in LR and camera control pro, I find quite old versions in LR
So I am not really sure it is a HW problem of the camera because a) windows connection is ok, b) WiFi does not use the USB of the camera.
I really do believe it is tether module related as I get a feeling these tether modules are not really a beloved child of the developers. But photographer's, they are!

With WT-5 the transmission is quite slow, so the operation of transferring a picture is also quite some seconds.
So for me it seems to be:
"If LR has to communicate during longer periods of time, it will lose connection"
And, yes, of course, there's nothing wrong with my personal firewall ....
