Webcam Xt

[smaug]

I have a minolta Dimage Xt, and I think it should work as a webcam too, but there isn't anything helpful on the booklet. How do I know if it can be used as a webcam and how do I put it to work as one? Thanks in advance.

Given that you can buy a decent Webcam for $20 these days - that would be what I would do (and in fact did).

That will yield better results, and be cheaper in the end, than trying to adapt the Xt for unintended uses.

Thanks Clemmie, I probably will buy one of those cameras, it's just that when I bought the Xt ( a long time ago ) I tought it would be cool to use the webcam function, obviously it wasn't anywhere near a priority, but it would be nice tough.

You should be able to use the Xt as a webcam - you need to install the Remote Camera driver. Check pg98 of the manual.

Good luck!

My manual only has 32 pages, and I can't find anything related to that online.

Sorry - thought the online one and the one you had would be the same. Check here. You want page 50 of the pdf which is 98 of the manual.

I can't believe this, I read the pdf but I can't find the cd anywhere. Sorry to bother you again Mig, but do you know where I can get the driver? Thanks

No problem! Drivers can be found here.

That will generate better outcomes, and be less expensive in the end, than trying to evolve the Xt for random uses.
