Hi Trevor

I’ve got the (older) Pentax *ist DS and have kept the Firmware at Version 2.0 which allows the "Pentax Remote Assistant" software to work on my Notebook, although it’s not a live view, only a “take photo, download and open it” system.

When I updated the Firmware to 2.02, Pentax Remote Assistant ceased to work so I re-loaded V2.0.

I’ve not tried connecting the Pentax to an external monitor, but if this gives you a live picture then it should be good enough for focusing. Anything is better than crouching down with craned neck, squinting through the viewfinder and trying to focus.

Cheers

Dennis
