Whilst taking part in a studio photo at school i noticed that the photographer was using software that enabled him to take the photo on his camera and have it instantly displayed on the laptop screen. Is it possible for me to do his with my 400D?

Thanks

I don't think he is asking if he can display live view on the laptop. You can (as far as I know with the 400D) shoot tethered with a laptop and the image should show up on the screen after you take it. I'm pretty sure the software that came with your camera should be able to do it.

someone correct me if I am wrong.

OH YEAH! Sorry, I was in the middle of an email at work at the same time :lol:

Yes you can. The EOS software supplied has a remote shooting utility which allows you to take a shot changing settings on the laptop/computer of your camera and setup things like timer shooting.

Sorry for the mispost :o

Eos Utility should work (it does on my mac).

Further specs / OS?

EOS Utility should work. Worked well with my 400D.

Any problems or messages when you try to run (assuming you have connected USB cable from PC to camera).

I can connect to my 400D but the remote thing is greyed out. Im downloading an update coz i think it might be due to me using Vista SP1

You can also setup Lightroom to automatically display any new images you add to a particular folder, so setup EOS Utility to make it dump image files straight into that folder and you're done.
Using EOS Capture would probably be easier, though.


Anyone know anything anywhere anymore?

Looks like DPP 3.4 is suitable for use with Vista+SP1 so this might do the trick.

It'd be great if you could AF and move the camera (using some kind of joystick) using LiveView.

I've tethered my 40D to my laptop a few times, Live View shooting directly to laptop - works great!
