hoyyannet Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 I use my 7D2 often for astrophotography. As soon as I plug the camera into the computer the rear display lights up with an image of a computer. I'd like to rough focus the camera manually while looking through the OVF but that rear display blows out my night vision. Can the display be turned off somehow while tethered?

Mark Keefer Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 What happens if you press the live view button on the camera. Also there may be a way to toggle off the active live view computer window display that gets opened by the EOS software when selecting remote shooting and DPP and DPP can display new shots in the folder. I had it working that way with both the 6D and the 5D MK IV. I even had the cameras tethered through my Wi-Fi router so I could walk around and shoot. The files transfer is a bit slow though. There is also a way to have the shots being saved to a specific folder on your PC and set Lightroom up to have that folder as a watched folder, and display the images. That is about as specific as I can get off hand without setting it all up on my PC and playing with it again. Cheers, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davecaz Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 I'd bet that it's a menu setting and that the manual tells how to use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
