Tethering Nikon cameras is supported in El Capitan as of Lightroom CC 2015.4 and Lightroom 6.4.

Adobe Photoshop & Lightroom MAC OSX El Capitan Compatibility. Posted by 5 years ago. Adobe Photoshop & Lightroom MAC OSX El Capitan Compatibility. Presumably Lightroom v.1 is no more compatible with both latest OSX, while still expensive v.5 and 6 are fully compatible. Now I have some questions lingering:-Which version of v.2, v.3, and v.4 is compatible with Yosemite or El Capitan? Anyone who is still using on these OSX? Softube plug-ins. If so, are these old versions still supported by Adobe with updates?

Direct tethering of most Leica cameras using Lightroom CC 2015 and Lightroom 6 is not currently supported on El Capitan.

Tethering Leica S (Typ 007) cameras is supported on El Capitan through the 'Leica Tethered Plug-in' which can be downloaded from the Leica Owners' Area.

The Leica Tethered plug-in provides a direct link from your Leica S (Type 007) to Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 6 via a USB 3.0 SuperSpeed cable. The camera's shutter can be released via the plug-in, with all captured images being immediately displayed in Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 6. It is the ideal solution for a fast and stable tethered workflow.

Adobe recommends that customers who rely on Lightroom for tethering Leica cameras, other than the Leica S (Typ 007), do not upgrade to El Capitan at this time.

Update Mac OS X (El Capitan) to version 10.11.4 correct this issue.

If Lightroom is put in native Mac OS X full screen mode, there are some inconsistent behaviors:

Workaround

If you cmd + tab away from Lightroom to another app and come back to Lightroom using cmd + tab while a dialog is open in native full screen mode, the main Lightroom app window is active instead of the dialog. To access the dialog window, use the 3-finger gesture to swipe up and select the space/window with the dialog you want to access to commit or cancel it.
