GHow do you use a sony ip7 as a webcam

hi ,

Sony now provides software to get the data using the USB port of the
computer.

So you can connect the IP-7 through the USB. The data can be captured
using iLink/Firewire but the data/minute is large so you might need
software to compress it.

For that matter you might need software provided by sony.. Cables and
Software are available at

hey,

I too have a sony camer, but an older minidv camera. Both work the
same in basic ways. The way that I tend to use the camera as a webcam
is to take snapshots when you need it. The camera will turn off if it
is left on for a long time, so prolonged use of the camera as a webcam
wont really work.
