Hello,

 

I'm using the powershot sd940 is.

Im taking some stillifes in a studio with my computer nearby.  Is there anyway to use my monitor as the viewfinder/display screen?  I want to be able to set up the angle and shot using a larger display.

 

Thanks

Yes you can veiw it on an external monitor or TV as long as that monitor or TV has either a HDMI input or an Audio Video (AV) input. The camera should have come with the AV cable but the HDMI cable you'll have to purchase depending on what works for you...look at your user guide starting on Page 111-112 

Heres the link to your user guide:
