Hi, so a year back my father had givin me a EOS canon Digital rebel XT, and for months Ive been trying to get the softwares to recognize it as a webcam/ camera in the EOS Utility 2 settings. Ive actually tried this in all versions of EOS utilities except 1.0 and 1.1 because it is virtually impossible to get your hands on those softwares unless you have the solution discs. So my setup right now is a usb from the camera to my pc and in PTP mode in the camera settings the camera is recognized by the softwares and ready for use, like file share and editing. But this is not the way I want to use the camera, I want to start using it as a webcam. So I put the camera in PC communication mode and the camera all of a sudden isnt recognized by windows as a camera and says ,"Driver is unavailable" and it wont let me use the remote shooting option. All of the softwares/drivers are installed ive tried reinstalling them, Ive switched the usb cord, and Ive tried all of the tips I found on the internet already.
So my problem is, that in pc connection mode the camera on windows is driverless and does not work // all software is installed.
When I check the camera's settings there is a pc connection mode and in the manual there is a line that mentions video output
I have never really figured out the difference between PC and PTP, mainly because PTP is what worked with Mac's and I had no reason to explore.
The video out is strictly for playback - no live view
