I don't think they do a very good job selling the software and hardware capabilities of the 40D.

After reading your post I installed all the remote control software from the CD that came with the 40D. The remote control software does just what you describe. I had no idea you could do remote focusing or get video out over USB. Thanks. Great. After reading your post I installed all the remote control software from the CD that came with the 40D.

You view the x10 image on the computer monitor not the camera. Greg I used the Canon remote camera control software and the USB port. You view the x10 image on the computer monitor not the camera.

Regarding the focusing operation that you did on the laptop, what software did you use for that, and what kind of video adapter were you using? (I assume for live view you are using the video out plug, not USB?) Thanks, Dave Hi,
