Anyone tried this software????

DSLR Remote Pro - Remote Capture Software for Canon EOS Digital SLR Cameras

EDIT:

I've just found this note on displaying the LiveView on the PC - Camera set to "P"

Anything special that you want to do with it Ken...?

It's expensive compared to the other software thats out there...

[Merlin66]

No, not really - just trying to find a method of displaying the LiveView on the PC.

The second link seems to be the way to do it! It works for both my 450D and 1000D

I'll try something when I get home...

My 1100D came with a software disc that has the Canon EOS Utility on it. Plug camera into laptop via USB, launch the utilty and I get Live View, and a lot of other shooting options including a fairly decent intervalometer option. Pretty darn good for free!

I was confused why you had to set the camera to "P" ... Live view works in P,TV,AV and M...

Yes, this is excellent software - it comes with all Canon dSLRs. It even allows time-lapse photography.

Hi folks can the hdmi out be used to connct to a netbook instead of av out,for APT PHD etc,or is it just for tv display?

Hi Mike, I would have thought that the HDMI port on a netbook was output only, like the camera, and could not receive a signal.

Obviously, if I'm wrong, then apologies.

Backyard EOS allows live view as does APT and the EOS Utilities that come with the camera. I prefer BYEOS though and it works fine with my 1000D. HDMI ports on a netbook are output only.

Hi Ian thanks for that ,and Mallorcasaint ,just could not find it in instuctions,back to the drawing board.

There is also an app called EOS movie record. Free and can capture liveview and save avi's. I use this to record planets..to tight to buy a webcam at the mo.

Also apt is excellent. Good freeware features and cheap licence for the full version.

EOS movie record is a neat programme for capturing live view videos at normal mag, x5 and x10 mag. APT is ideal for programming up a sequence of differing exposure sequences. It also gives you AF functions with Canon lenses for tightening up the focus on stars.

DSLR Remote Pro is a good package which I use on occasion but I prefer GBTimelapse which can switch my Canons from Manual mode to Bulb in software rather than having to turn the mode dial on the body so I can use exposures upto 30 seconds in manual then using the software extend the exposure in Bulb mode for as long as I need. Very useful for timelapses through sunrises and sunsets, both programmes have live view output to a laptop via USB
