This has been a long time coming. But first: Storytime!
So, I had a weekend off (rare these days), and took the time to get all of the equipment set up and such for my YouTube channel.
I was up bright and early Saturday to get this done, since I figured I finally had everything. Here, see:
So now that I have it all set up, I go to hook the camera up to my laptop so I can see what I’m doing.
Apparently, that’s not supported.
What.
What?!
I search my brain, thinking of alternatives I can do. Nothing on the Nikon site, Google isn’t helping. Hmm.
Then it hits me: just use an HDMI cable. If you can hook it up to your tv and see what you need to see, you can surely hook it up to the computer, right?
Nope! Even hooked up to the tv (my plan b), it still didn’t show me anything except “no files found.” After I spent money on an adapter that I no longer need (it’s going back), nothing.
Well then. I fire up Google again, and manage to find that…no, there really isn’t a way that Nikon made so that I can see what I’m doing on my computer. But the lovely Google found me a program that allows me to control my camera from my computer (digiCamControl, for any of you other Nikon and Canon users). And wow! I can now see if I’m in focus before I start filming.
So I go ahead and get myself ready to start, and…the damn camera won’t record. Now I’m stumped, and then everything goes black.
Battery died.
The fuckery. -_-
At this point, I am beyond frustrated and ready to just go to bed. But I waited for my battery to charge, and recorded.
I won’t tell y’all that after 11 hours of fighting with equipment, I had everything recorded in about 30-45 minutes. Nope. Won’t do that. Still bitter.
