We have a SONY DSLR-A100H & love it.Is there a way to add"live"to it?

ALSO: we have not installed the disk,it came with,or any other up-dates. We really are not computer people & don't want to mess the camera up. What are we missing,because we don't know how to do it?

The only way you could add "live view" to it is if there was a firmware update. THere may be a hack somewhere on the Net, but since you admit you aren't computer people, I'd refrain for taking that risk. As for the disks that came with it, if you have'nt missed it, I wouldn't worry about it.

one think you may want to do though, is check to see if there's that firmware update. You can get it over at sonystyle.com under customer care/support. Follow the directions step by step though because a failed firmware update could "brick" your camera. But honestly, you aren't really missing much that i know of.

The Sony website is at SonyStyle.com. Look under customer care/support. Input your model number and you'll have access to everything from firmware updates (if any) to manual downloads and FAQs.
