DSLR Tethering for LIVE view

Can Ipad pro support the Live View feature that desktops provide if you connect your camera during a photography session so that the client can see the images as the pictures are being taken?


I hope that Apple can resolve this issue because there are a multitude of people with ipads and we would as customers benefit from having our ipads take on this feature.

iPad Pro, iPadOS 14

Unless your camera has a companion App for iOS/iPadOS, that supports the live-view feature of your camera, then no - this is not possible.


iOS/iPadOS does not natively support direct video input from an external video source.
