Hi, I didn't realise that Aperture 2 supported tethered shooting, but
there it is as a menu option. Great! Susan.

Hi Donna,
What you're looking for is "Tethered shooting" rather than "Live View"
(which is what you get on all the point and shoots, but only just
coming to
Digital SLRs)
Check these links for using Aperture 2

Subject: Re: Live View on Computer
Hi Donna, I actually haven't used it for live view specifically
that I
can remember with a Canon. I have the software, and checked
without a
camera attached, there didn't seem to be the capacity for live view.
So I expect the sales person was right.
The only one I have experience with is the Nikon cameras. I have a
Nikon D80 (which I plan to sell), D300 and D90, all of which work
with Camera Control Pro 2 - the Nikon software for this purpose.
Digilife sell Nikon and Canon cameras, they might be good people to
consult with when buying a camera.
cheers, Susan.

Thank you Susan,
I contacted Rob Findlay's office and Peter there was very helpful
suggesting the correct cameras also. I had almost purchased a
camera last week but the retailer told me that Live View on the
Canon only meant there was a live view screen on the camera but it
would not be live on the computer if connected, only immediately
transferred after the shot was taken. Susan you mentioned that
you have used the Canon for live view purposes, can you please just
clarify that one point for me- are you able to view what you are
going to shoot live on the Apple computer before taking the actual
photo, as I was able to do on my old PC? Thank you both for your
help.
Best Regards,
Donna

Hi Donna, it will depend on your camera. Canon include software
with their cameras which works on the Mac for this purpose. With
Nikon, there is a computer program you can buy. (Camera Control
Pro) These are the two solutions I've tried so far, I'm not sure if
there are any others. Neither Aperture nor iphoto were intended for
this purpose.
If you let us know which camera you are using it may help.
cheers, Susan.

Hi all,
I am new to the Apple and love my Imac. However I do have one
problem. I have been managing my website for many years now,
taking my photos previously using Live View FlyVideo. This
enabled me to connect my camera to the computer with a cord
similar to connecting to a camera to a TV, where I could adjust
the focus etc on my camera whilst viewing on the big screen of the
computer, before I take the perfect photo. I bought the Aperture
programme in the hopes that it would enable me to do this type of
live view on my computer screen. Unfortunately I have not managed
to find a way to achieve this goal. Does anyone have any
knowledge or experience with regard to this live view screening on
the computer? I would appreciate any help. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Donna
