70D / Windows 10 connection

ibudec — Wed, 22 May 2019 19:01:23 GMT

I have a Canon 70D (UK) and a Windows 10 laptop.

I am currently using DigiCamPro to instantly view the images on the camera's LCD screen straight onto the laptop, i.e. without human intervention), using a USB cable. Hoeever I do find the results very poor with a heavy magenta cast. Does anyone have an alternative software suggestion please?

If possible I would like to do this wirelessly, (but I could live with the cable if I had no wireless solution.)

I would like to do it full screen so I could also use a Microsoft cable-less connector onto a much larger monitor, just as I do to display online on-demand straight onto my TV.

Any suggestions and help gratefully received.

Thank you.

DSLRs make for terrible video cameras. What is your purpose or end goal with this setup?

This is for stills only in studio and at events. No intention of using as a video camera.

I have downloaded the latest version of Digicam and its colour balance appears much improved.

I would however still like to find a wireless solution rather than the tethered USB cable on the grounds of safety particularly at events.

"Any suggestions and help gratefully received."

Buy a video camera. Stop trying to convert a DSLR in to one, particularly an older 70D.

I did say this is NOT for video. This is ONLY for stills.
