Live view on my laptop

Hi everyone, I want to take some shots where I will not be able to see the back of the camera, and wondered if anyone knew how I can get live view on my laptop?
Many thanks, craig

Hi Craig,

You want some software that will allow you to shoot tethered (presuming your camera supports it and I can't remember which camera you've got).

Nikon do make this software but, in typical Nikon style, you've got to shell out for it. The good news is that there are 3rd party programs, some of which are free. This page discusses some of the finer points and also points you in the direction of some free tethering software.

Hi, Have you thought about a Zigview S2. It is a great piece of kit, i had one when i had a Nikon D200 without live view.

Here is a link to one:-
