It seems people are misguided. And I would like to help people from wasting their money spending hundreds of dollars, buying a product that doesn't work. I have owned the SL2 since it was released. It has not, and still does Not work with live view on Capture One on a Mac operating system. It doesn't even recognize the camera. However, It did seem to work with my sl2s model. Initially did not and after turning it on and off several times, it finally recognized the sl2s. It seems to work much better on Windows.

Here is the response from Capture One...

You have to remove the SD card.

Hi Jim. 

I don't really understand your logic here. You haven't listed anything about your system, what version of capture one you're running, what your firmware or anything is. 

Here is a screenshot from the Leica website showing an SL2 tethering with live view (you did say in a DM that they said "certain cameras", I don't know why they wouldn't make it work on the SL2, which i would imagine is their most popular pro body).

Here, also, is a photo of my computer running the SL2 in live view. 

Sure, I appreciate that you've had a conversation with Capture One who said it's not supported.. However, evidence demonstrates that it does, in fact work.. Despite the fact that you repeatedly tell me that I don't know what I'm talking about.. I've supplied photos of it working, yet you say it doesn't work.. A few people have also chimed in to confirm that it does work. Perhaps when they say it's not supported they're just saying that they can't offer any support, not that it doesn't work (because it does). 

I am puzzled by your instistence that it doesn't work, and refusal to engage in any kind of discussion, do you actually want to make it work? Or do you just want to be "right" (you're not). While I don't need to prove myself to you, I believe that I am well qualified to make the statement that it does, in fact work. I'm a working professional who uses the software every day, and relies on it to make a living. I also work with some of the best digital operators in Australia. I've done the Phase One Certified Professional course. People at Leica even call me when they can't figure something out. 

Would be happy to film a short video tomorrow demonstrating the software working if you would like.

You don’t understand the logic? It’s simple… Capture One Pro versions from 2020 to 2023 has not “worked” for me as it doesn’t even recognize the camera SL 2 on a iMac Pro running the lastest Ventura. 
 
Capture One states it’s not supported.  That’s pretty simple to understand. If you don’t understand that maybe you should ask Capture One, maybe all the marketing is confusing models, or the employees. It’s a shame you can not call anyone at Capture one….

What camera are you using? On what version of Capture One and what operating system?

Thank you. I got it to work on Windows

Which Ventura? 13.2.1 fixed a number of such issues, also with Adobe.

This 2021 thread about C1 tethering may help - although some people in the discussion say it's unreliable:

Here is a video of my sl2 tethering with Live View to Capture One 22. To make it work, i plugged it in and pressed the Live View button which I know how to do because i know what I am talking about.

i think the problem might be that maybe you aren’t very good at this stuff, that’s okay! You can just ask someone who is better at it to help. Learning is fun!

Nice video.  Tell me more about that studio stand and the horizontal arm.  I need that in my life.  Thanks

[Photoworks]

I don't think the problem is Live video if he can't ever get a connection going to tether.

In the past capture one used to break canon connection on every update the MacOS would come out fresh, and a couple of weeks later Phase one would catch up on updating their software.

Another issue can be auto-start programs when you plug in a card or camera. it is recommended to open "Image Capture" and set it to none.

PTP is a given for USB tether, you can find it under USB-mode

Thanks! It lives at the studio I work out of. It’s a Cambo. Honestly I prefer the Foba units..

I think he said he could tether.. just not live view. I think we’ve demonstrated that everyone else has gotten it working, and he’d rather huff and puff that “it’s not supported” rather than give the details of his set up.. he’s like a live view denier. Ha.

I just downloaded Capture One 23 the trial version and can't get my SL2-S to tether.

 

I have usb mode set to PTP. Do I need to pay for Capture One to get it to work?

the trial version should work the same for 30 days.

When turning on PTP you should try restarting the camera to activate.

have only one card, or better none, and it will need to be formated before connecting.
