Luca,
Yes you can use remote control. The "Pentax Remote Assistant" is the software you need. http://www.pentax.jp/english/support/download_digital.html

Do bear in mind:

* The camera will use quite a lot of current. I found that some rechargeable batteries got very warm during long remote sessions, and when warm the camera produced much more image noise.

* You might be better off using an external AC adapter for the *ist-D

Hope that helps!
