I need major help with my camera.

Hi, I'm a YouTuber/Livestreamer. I bought the Canon EOS M3 in hopes for a great camera for a great price and to use it for Livestreaming and Making YouTube videos. While it's great for videos, I have to manually use a SD card reader, move the files, and so on. I found that some other Canon cameras can simply be plugged into the computer and be ready to use, even used on Livestreams. 

 

It seems that the Canon EOS M3 does not have any software that can mirror the camera.

Is there anyway I can see my Canon Camera on my computer, mirrored screen maybe?

 

Thanks,

Matt.

I see, Yeah this is a real bummer as I found this camera used mostly for Vlogs and used by many YouTubers i figured it'd have the capability to use on my computer with live remote viewing.

I seriously appreciate your research and well that's even worse that even magic lantern don't support EOS M3.

Even if it could be remotely controlled, the battery is a bit small for extended video work.  I do not think there is an AC adapter available, either.  You need a video camera, or at least a camcorder.

 

As previously noted, you have a camera designed first, and foremost, to take still photographs.  Making videos is not a priority, but rather a bell and whistle.  Most DSLRs and mirrorless cameras have a tendency to overheat during extended use in video modes, anyway.
