RE: using a digital camera as a webcam
there should be a button that turns it in to Web mode or something. you might need to unplug it, start it up, put it into this mode and plug it back in.
(although last time i tried to use this mode on my camera it bsod'd my computer  ) Spoiler: the game.

There is no "program" to make it work, as far as I know, it depends if it has webcam capicity or not. |

I think it needs to be capable of USB streaming. If it is not meant to be, you might be able to find hacks to make it work anyway.

RE: using a digital camera as a webcam
hmm
i've got a camera that states on the specifications that it can be used as a webcam.... it has video capture capabilities but wen i goto video and audio setup it works fine... select the camera, the preview shows what the camera is seeing, as soon as i try to use it as a webcam or goto webcam settings it tells me there is no webcam plugged in (u no the greyed out box where the camera input normally is...) and the writing etc etc...
how could i get round it? the manual doesnt say what to do  |
