Istvan is assisted in the project by Danish developer and photographer Martin Joergensen. The app - formerly known as Nikon Camera Control - is offered completely free of charge by Romanian programmer Duka Istvan, who created it from scratch in response to the lack of free tethering software for his own Nikon D5100 DSLR. Open-source Windows app digiCamControl promises just that capability for Nikon digital SLRs, and Canon support is under development as well.
