Which Nikon camera doesn't support live view?

Post by engkor »

I have D3100 and plan to sell it off but i have limited budget at the moment.

Can someone tell me which camera can't have live view once it connected to the app?

What do you mean??

Can't see LV image on camera LCD or cannon turn on LV at all ??

Because you can't see LV on camera after connecting it with USB, it doesn't matter if you use qDD or not.
With USB you cane use only remote app to view LV.

On canon you can turn on LV on camera while it's connected to USB.

i have a D3100 and i did connect it to my Samsung Note 2.

And i read somewhere about D3100 doesn't have PTP protocol. Means dslrdashboard app unable to show LV.

I know that D5000 series will not have this problem. But i cant afford it.

D3100 has the PTP protocol but only a limited one.
Live view will not work on D3100

LV will work but very limited.
You will be able only to see image and use AF but no possibility to change AF point and no manual focus movement (so no focus stacking). Also video recording is not possible.
