Hello all,

sorry if the title makes no sense!

Is there anyway that I can plug my D200 into my laptop and view what I see through the viewfinder in realtime on my laptop. Is there software available that allows me to do this. I seem to remember it being done in a studio I visited once.

Before someone suggests it, I'm not really after one of those zigiview things.

Awaiting your replies.

Thank you.

Marc

Mike, thanks for that, is that the same as Capture 4, NX etc. I googled Nikon Capture Control and couldnt find any exact references

As the D200 has an optical viewfinder I would be very surprised if this were possible

The sensor only becomes live and able to produce an electronic file when the shutter is open and the viewfinder closed.

The version of Capture 4 linked will allow you to "control" the camera, ie fire the shutter etc but not see what the camera sees

Good point Dave. Like I say, I don't use it...
