    I just installed Utility 3 today on my MacBook Pro running Sequoia. Is there a way to remote shoot and have the picture(s) saved only on camera. Waiting for the pictures to download (via Wifi) is a delay I would rather not have to deal with. What I think what I saw today was that saving to my computer (and not to the camera) was the default, and I didn't see any other option.

    Thanks!

    I did some tethered shooting using the utility but that pushing 20 years ago. But the wired connection should be faster than wifi.
    After investing in the 5D line from 2010 on I have just used the RC-6 remote and don't use the computer at all for remote trigger in a studio setup, I find I am more worried about adjusting multiple lights between images.

    Johnsey, thanks for the reply! That makes sense and I do have a wireless remote. I was curious about what the Utility would do... and I was having fun playing with it, but the time to download each image 'spoiled the fun.' ;-) Thanks.
