DSLR as Virtual Webcam

Hey,

I've been using this software for about 3 days now and noticed that the FPS counter goes wayyyy above the 60fps that my camera is capped at which is return using a lot of my CPU power, any ideas on how to fix?

I do not know if it should be doing this. I have a Ryzen 5 3600 and when I use the software, utilization goes up to 90%. I do not know if this is apart of the software or the part of the Camera. If it can be fixed, please fix it. I do not want a destroyed computer just by using a Camera Software.

Hi, same issue with another user here with Nikon Z50. The main DCC app works fine but it doesn't show up on DCC Virtual Webcam

Hey, still seems like the FPS counter is gradually going up and using about 50% of my CPU

Works great on my Nikon D5200 via USB. Live view restarts in less than a secon, thats great. There's a way to improve LV quality (recording, for example)? Maybe you can add a start record button. But the scaled LV feed is much better than a web cam, so it's great as it is. Thanks a LOT!

Hi, is it possible to get the source code for DCC Virtual Webcam application.

As it is a simple application, it will be easy to understand the architecture. Have been trying to wrap my head around digicamcontrol source code for sometime now.

Thanks in advance.

So, for me everything works just fine. Live view is smooth and responsive (Nikon D5600). But in the applications (especially zoom) there is a lot of video tearing noticable.

Hi, nothing can be done, D3100 firmware not support live view using USB cable
