I don't use it all the time and I go, gosh wouldn't it be nice to be sitting there on top of my computer, using it as a webcam practically every day and I could really enjoy it. So that was the route that I explored first. The first thing that I had to do and probably something that you'll want to do if you want to use a camera that you already have is that you need to go to the site of the manufacturer and look for their webcam software. Now, practically all the mirrorless camera makers have webcam software right now. So Olympus, Fujifilm, Panasonic, Sony, Canon and Nikon, they all have free webcam software.
