I would like to be able to use a camera to demonstarte camera functions to an audience, via a digital projector. This would mean the view of the projected image being the same as the view through the viewfinder of the camera, so presumably an EVF would be the better option.

Does anyone have experience of doing this? is it possible?
Best regards, John

Several ways really. Easiest is tv out cable from camera to video in on projector.
Best way is to combine video clips, shot with camcorder, with video captures done through the camcorder (video out from camera to video in on camcorder) All transfered to computer with firewire and edited into a power point/keynote presentation along with your photos and music, titles and scene wipes.

I slapped something together for you to check out. it's on my website in the movie gallery, under JR. Directly through the viewfinder would require an evf but the auto playback on the istd's will show what you just snapped along with any othe data you can see on your camera's lcd.

The audio and lighting suck, since you're not paying me by the hour...lol
It's comming down after I hear back from you JR.

I appreciate your trouble, thanks Don. I'll be able to view the site tonight when I have access to Broadband, so if you can leave it up till tomorrow that would be fantastic.

Thanks again.
Best regards, John

Very helpful, Don, many thanks, and an entertaining bit of video it was as well!

In fact, the evidence has been saved......

Well I supose I could've checked my sound levels, fired up my halogen lights and maybe done something with my hair, but that would take too long and make too much sense....I only make cents when people pay me to.
I hope you got what you needed in regards to getting your presentation together. Good luck with that.
