CREAT SHORTCUT for multiple camera tethered

I shoot tethered with multiple cameras on a single session.

I capture one photo at a time per camera — no automated captures.
All cameras are connected to the computer.

I would like the ability to select these different cameras using a keyboard shortcut.
Currently, only the Camera Tool allows selecting a camera from a list.

It is extremely cumbersome during a week in the studio to have to manually select cameras from a list every time, especially since the list does not always preserve the order in which the cameras are connected.

Therefore, I would like the option to select cameras via a custom shortcut.

Regards.
Nicolas

    Hi Nicolas, thanks for the suggestion - this is indeed a limitation of the software as of today.

    We don't have specific plans about it for now, but in the meantime I can recommend looking into AppleScripts if you are using a Mac, this could allow you to do what you want or even to take it further an automate the switching for you.
