 Re: How to connect my laptop to my video camera to see exactly what the camera is see
It depends on two things. Type of camera... Can the model you have act as a web cam? And the O/S of the laptop... Hopefully XP since it comes with Windows Movie Maker.
If your camera cant act as a Webcam then... No. If you have a camcorder or a webcam camera then you should be able to hook it up with FireWire or if I can remember USB should be sufficient and have it on record mode. Make sure that you don't have it on 5min power saving mode or any power saving mode as it will shut your cam down.
As for the laptop... Xp's Movie Maker should recognize your cam after its hooked up. In the menu there should be a record feature select it and see if your getting connectivity between the two. If not consult your user manual.
Hope that helps.
