Thought I had posted this so if duplicated sorry about that..I have a 7D and watched this which explained the setup but do I have to use Live View due to the clunking in the camera and delay taking photo ? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bg2U2vxBir8I...
I have got this working but as ever the video below shows something similar to what I have https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bg2U2vxBir8Am I right in thinking it has to be in Live view to see what the camera sees on the PC ? My 7D is obviously moving...
Video capture card as monitor - use usb not hdmi ?I am confused by the video capture card option for using a smartphone as a monitor. I just want to be able to see what the camera sees when low down (Canon 1000D and D7) as kneeling in damp grass at ...
Anyone know where I can get this from Canon, rather than a random app.I am sure I downloaded the software for my camera (1000D) (Canon gave me the link) but now cant find it. If I do find it will that give the information I want, just curious.

Talking to myself again but really all I want to do is see what the camera sees. There is loads out there that allows full control but I don't need that.Canon utility for windows is very 'clunky' so I remember why I unistalled it last time. May ha...
