The Olympus Studio 2 software allows you to connect and control your camera with a computer through the USB cable. I did this the other night with my E-510. You can shoot with the controls in your camera and the picture will display on the computer screen, or you can control certain settings and trigger with the computer. The only thing it does not seem to do is show a live view. There is a "preview" button in the program, but it stayed grayed out no matter what settings I changed in the program. After doing some online searching, I came to the conclusion that this feature doesn't work yet and Olympus is working on it. At least that is the case for the E-510.
Maybe I am missing something. If anyone else knows how to do a live preview through the computer I would sure like to know how.
