ASIAir & Nikon D750 connecting

Cosmusic2000

Hello ZWO fans.
I have a Nikon D750 and I can't connect it to the ASIAir Plus.
The AA+ has a DSLR input (2mm jack 3Pol) and I use a corresponding cable on the accessory input of the camera. But it does not appear in the main camera setting of the AA+.
Can someone please help me? Thank you, Helmet

They claim your D750 to be supported by the ASIAIR. So you shouldn’t have problem using an USB cable to connect it to you ASIAIR. Try again with the usb cable provided with the camera or buy a cable on Amazon or any camera retailer. You don’t want to connect this camera via the jack entry, doing so you actually defeating all the benefits of using an ASIAIR. UC E17 is the reference for the cable that you need. This is not a standard usb A cable, it’s a Nikon design cable with a proprietary port. So double check before you buy !

Thank you for your quick reply Lain ;-)
I connected the org Nikon USB cable UC-E17 to the port provided. This is used to transfer images to a PC as it is written in the manual. However, I had no success with it, because the AA+ does not recognize the camera?

Addendum: The camera is set to M and bulp.

Ok. That's the right cable. If it's working properly you should be able to connect the camera in the ASIAIR. After plugging it into an usb port of the ASIAIR you should be able to chose the main camera on the first menu. Chose the D750. First check that the camera is powered by the battery or an external power. Also be sure you turn the camera on. Check this video for more details: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ks2zbfMYRdI

Hi Lain,
Thank you for your help. ;-) Now I've finally managed to connect. My mistake was to turn on the live view before connecting. It no longer works in conjunction with AA+!
It also takes a while for AA+ to check everything, so patience is necessary.
One more thing: I don't understand why AA+ has a special DSLR 2.2 jack input, but it doesn't work and the image transmission output has to be used instead. This is confusing.
Finally it works and I hope it helps other Nikon users. Best regards from the cold Germany, Helmet
