Nikon D40 Help

[Revels]

Is there anyway I can take a pic and then have it appear on my PC thats right next to me?

Otherwise I have to reconnect the cable and then click, click, click to find it and view.

Id like it to appear instantly..

I think it's the Nikon Capture stuff. Not being a Nikon user I'm not 100% sure that you can with a D40, but yes, it is possible with the professional ranges. Both wired and wireless I do believe, depending on the equipment you're using, a lot of studio photographers shoot this way.

Its it the "home made p**n" guide book in the box

search google for 'tethered shooting'
Nikon capture can do it with d40 i think, not tried it get though.
Or just found Nikon Camera control pro which is only 50quid.

I am surprised that d40 is actually still working to be honest

I threw that other one in the bin and bought a nice new silver one!

can i ask why you would want to do this?

iirc the Nikon software even allows you to set it up to take pics for you. Going to investigate a bit further as I would like to do a time lapse day of my garden in the Summer, I figure connecting it to a laptop with the software would be far easier than sitting there with a stop-watch all day!

Close up pics really. They look ok on the camera screen, but moved to the PC and it doesnt always look as good.

Yeh, can control all the bits really, shutter etc etc.

Just need to work out how I get it work..
