? what my camera sees, via my pc monitor
I have an Olympus C730 and I would like to know if I can hook it to my pc to
get a real-time picture on my PC monitor of what it is seeing without releasing the shutter. I have a remote to handle the zoom and shutter. These are indoor shots that I need a larger view of , before shooting. Thanks |

The only usb tool is has is to upload pictures. I was hoping for a trick or
perhaps a software solution. When I go to airshows there is always fellow snapping shots of folks in a cockpit. He is controlling the camera with a laptop and has a real-time picture on the monitor. I don't need the controls just the picture on the monitor while do a setup. "Jim" wrote in message t...

Yes I have video out but the cable has an RCA plug and I don't have a video
capture card. I was hoping for a usb path. "irwell" wrote in message ...

Sorry, did not see the PC Monitor bit, assuming you meant a TV.
The procedure will work on a TV with A/V inputs, however. On Mon, 27 Mar 2006 00:19:02 GMT, "Ted" wrote: Yes I have video out but the cable has an RCA plug and I don't have a video capture card.

There is a piece of software that will give real time pictures from
olympus cameras. I had downloaded it some time ago to use with my C740 and recently trashed it because I have never used it. The downside is I no longer have the url where I downloaded it but remember I got it from this news groups a year or two ago. Search the archives and spend some time googling and I believe you can find it. I believe it or an abbreviated version was free.
