Could someone please advise me. An artist friend has a D300 [not me] which came with the UK bundled RAW software [presumably Capture?]. To properly record a piece of 'floor work', I suggested that the solution might be to fix the camera to a beam above the work, and fire it from his laptop. Which software would he need for that?
A poor-of-the-parish alternative to purchasing software [he's broke] might be to import files to his Mac laptop [which I think has Photoshop CS2], to inspect them to determine final adjustments to the camera orientation [viewing the camera screen is not an option]. Please advise me on which connecting cable is needed, whether there is a choice or practical limitation to the length of camera to laptop cable, and of any glitches I should forewarn him of? I have not yet used a D300, which is why I ask the forum's help.
Your advice will be greatly appreciated.
