Hey everyone. I have a Nikon D3100 and MB Air 13" the newest one. I do video blogs for youtube and I want to switch to using my D3100 as the quality of the video is much better. Only problem is I can't see what I'm filming! Are there any apps or ways that anyone knows of that I can connect the camera with USB and then see on my computer monitor what the camera sees so I can use it as a sort of monitor? As I write this I just thought of a ghetto way would be to use my iPhone with Facetime aiming at the screen but wondering if there's an easier way!
