Using a Digital Camera As A Webcam

#1

Ok I have an "Olympus camedia c-770" digital camera and I would like to use it as a webcam but orignially it does not have a feature that allows me to use it as a webcam. So I'm wondering if there is some way that I could use that digital camera as a webcam?

How does it connect to your PC? USB?

#3

yeah its a usb 2.0

#4

So any ideas on how you can use it as a webcam?

In theory, all you would need is some webcam software, since it recognises it as a Video USB device.
I'll have a look around and see if I can find the app that you need..

That would be sweet az man. Thanks a lot. The camera in itself has the ability to do video recording if it helps in anyway.

unfortunately USB connect does not means you can turn it to web cam
it depends on how the hardware is built to allow data video stream to the port
a friend of mine was trying to do the same with a Kodak and found that hradware limitation.

Hmmmm well I just hope someone can find me something that will allow me to use it as a cam because I couldnt find any apps that will let me do it but then again im not as good as some guys here like A and who.am.i who can find things which most people wouldnt have a clue about. Just hope someone finds me something .....
