D300 Live View disconnects when USB cable connected

[jpallison]

Hi, looking for some help with my D300 and BYN.

 

I can get the camera into live mode, but as soon as I connect a USB cable into my computer's USB port, you can hear the mirror flip back to viewfinder mode and Live View is no longer visible on the camera's screen. 

I never even get a chance to enter into BYN. 

 

Any suggestions?

Is there a certain sequence I need to perform to get live view to stay on in BYN?

 

Thanks, Jay Allison

 

I just read in another post that I should not expect my camera to turn on Live View, but to let BYN turn on LiveView through the SDK.  What is a SDK, and is there a place in the BYN software to "turn on" live view?

 

Thanks again.

yeah, it works!  just had to go to Frame and Focus and it put Live View right on the BYN software as promised.

 

BTW, outside of the help section, is there a manual available for newbies like me to read and learn how to use it?

 

Thanks, will mark as "solved"

Can you connect the camera to BYN? If yes does live view work when you go to Frame&Focus.

 

You do not need to worry about the SDK, it is installed with BYN.

It may be normal for the camera to "reset" when connected to a PC. This would cause LiveView to turn off.  Can you connect BYN to the camera. Going to the Frams & Focus screen should re-activate LiveView so that you can see the image on the PC.

Cluck the ? In the upper right corner in BYN.

You can also watch the You Tube videos.  They are for BYE, but will be very helpful.  Just look at the first few topics in the BYE forum.
