Question on live

Shutterspeedemo — Mon, 27 Nov 2017 21:38:58 GMT

Gentlemen/Mdm.:

I purchased a used a EOS rebel TI 400 D camera
I did not know that the LCD screen did not display live view
I am disabled and use a tongue switch, which is only accessible for certain models
I did not know that the model I purchased was not accessible because of the live view

I can do a download for the camera to change this feature?
I do not want to have to purchase the new camera.

Can you help?

John Waters

You can’t add that capability to your camera. Maybe you could contact Canon and see if they have a program to assist differently abled persons.

Your only hope is to get a windows touch computer like the Microsoft surface and see if you can get EOS Utility 2.4 running on it, possibly in a windows 7 virtual box. This will connect to the camera and allow you to shoot remotely:

Note: This will NOT allow you to preview the image - the 400D cannot take images in anything approaching live view - but it will allow you to shoot remotely, make adjustments, and shoot again.
