Hey everyone,
I have a canon EOS 650D and I am running the latest EOS Utility, Firmware is up to date and also using genuin canon USB cable (not that it matters right?).
Anyway I want to use the live shoot feauture on my PC but the framerate is really low like stop motion.
My PC has decent specs:
- I7 6700
- GTX1080 graphics card
- MSI Z170A MB
I have tried running it on my Laptop as well after Canon uspport asked me to check whether it is PC specific problem, same story.
My intention is to use my camera as a webcam to stream etc.
If you have any idea let me know please.
Many thanks,
NCKGRV
UPDATE:
I have now tried using differnet software and the problem remains. That lets me believe that there is a problem with the connection between camera and PC? The transfer rate maybe?
Thanks for any help.
I see two things that are inadvisable.
1. Using remote shooting for continuous shooting mode. I have never tried this, simply because of the volume of data that would need to be transmitted via USB. It will probably work better if the photos are only stored on the memory card, and NOT transferred to the PC. Shooting a movie and grabbing frames works, too.
2. Your camera is designed to shoot still photos.. It just happens to have hardware that is capable of recording short video clips. The image sensor can overheat in less than an hour, probably half an hour. The video signal that comes out of the HDMI port will be the same display that you see on the camera LCD, complete with text and icons. It is not a video camera.
