<\/p>\n
At the end of April Canon was the first manufacturer, at the end of May Fujifilm with a few models and now Panasonic is also at the start. In the current Corona time not only the toilet paper is in short supply in all the stores.
\nGood, at least the toilet paper has disappeared very quickly. With the webcams, however, it is still the case that certain models are heavily out of stock. Out of stock is one thing, what's worse are the exorbitant prices that certain dealers have called in the meantime.
\nIn the meantime at least cameras can be used as webcams, at least some models from certain manufacturers. Which are those, I would like to show you here in the contribution.<\/p>\n
Newer cameras can fortunately be upgraded via a firmware update, at least the points where it only takes a little code to do so.
\nFunnily enough, many of the big cameras can be used directly via microUSB cable\/HDMI as a recording camera on a computer without any problems. The integration of this camera in Skype, Teams, Zoom, OBS Studio or similar apps did not work so easily until today. Among other things, this is due to the fact that some of the manufacturers have not observed clean, globally valid interfaces.<\/p>\n
It's nice that a virus like Corona takes the responsibility of the manufacturers to finally comply with this.<\/p>\n
Canon was the first of the four vendors to offer a version for macOS for download in addition to the Windows 10 app. However, they themselves still call their solution beta.
\nCanon has DSLR, Mirrorless but also a few PowerShot models that can use the whole thing. Currently the following are supported:<\/p>\n
With the EOS Webcam Utility App you get the image of your camera directly into the video conferencing solution of your choice.<\/p>\n
Important, the app is currently only available for download from the Canon USA site. This also has to do with the fact why you see another name in brackets at the top of some models. Because in the States, certain models are sold under a different name.<\/p>\n
Fujifilm came with its own solution at the end of last month. In direct comparison, however, with a much less extensive range of camera models. Fujifilm delivers the software for the following system cameras of the X and GFX series:<\/p>\n
Fujifilm also started the whole thing with a Windows version. Meanwhile there is also a version for macOS available for download.
\nAfter downloading the file, you only have to unzip and install it briefly. The camera can already be used with Zoom, Teams, OBS Studio and Co. use.<\/p>\n
A few days ago I received an e-mail from Panasonic about the new tool that will make a part of their camera models webcam capable. As with Fujifilm, dei app is unfortunately only available for Windows 10. Panasonic also calls its tool Beta.<\/p>\n
The tool is a slight variation of the Lumix Tether app with a new feature for live streaming or video conferencing. This is actually there so that the photographer can directly view the image they have taken on the large display.
\nThe modified app, which has been available since 08. June 2020 for free download, brings the camera and its image into all the communication apps of this world.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The following Panasonic cameras are supported by the app:<\/p>\n
In the meantime there are also from the manufacturer Olympus first cameras that allow that your big cameras can be connected to the computer.<\/p>\n
The following models are compatible with the mentioned software or with third-party apps. For this the respective camera model needs the newest firmware.<\/p>\n
For this to work, you need to download the Olympus OM-D Webcam Beta Software. It is available for macOS as well as for Windows. But, as with other manufacturers, it is still in a beta phase.<\/p>\n
Please note that all the solutions are offered as Beta. The manufacturers had to bring their respective solution online as fast as possible without too much testing.<\/p>\n
In the current time, with the bottleneck of webcams and the whole online communication you can do this in any case. So far, I have not encountered any major problems with the models I have at my disposal.<\/p>\n
Here, of course, I hope that Sony will follow suit with both systems right away.<\/p>\n
Is your camera included? Do you use the webcam in your computer or an external one??
\nI use one of my three Logitech Brio 4K webcams for each of my calls. New for gaming streaming I also have the Logitech StreamCam, which will surely be used for the next home schooling.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
