Can you take photos of your equipment with a Nikon D40?
Ive got everything connected and the ability to take pictures manually and go to a folder. But there is a program i can set an interval in order to take pictures? Ive tried pro camera control and says it supports the D40, but apprently, its not mentioned in the user guide will help any .. ideas?
yes. Each camera has a memory card or an adapter to the computer. Jonathan:)
