Is it possible to control my Sony Alpha 550 from my computer?

Question

Is there any way for me to connect my Sony Alpha 550 Digital SLR to my computer so that I can, for example, view live view images on the computer screen, control the settings using the computer, or even set up timed photos?

Answer

No, except for the Live-View part.

For that you would need a HDMI capture device with monitoring function.
