Many people ask if they can use their digital camera as a webcam. In the early days of digital imaging, it made sense to dual-function a camera because a webcam was a serious investment. However, webcams are now so inexpensive that manufacturers are not considering this functionality important in their digital cameras. In fact even the word 'webcam' creates the impression of bad imaging, so associating this function with a camera actually makes the camera seem 'cheap'.

Your camera is actually quite a new, and a nice camera. It doesn't make a lot of sense for Samsung to make it work as a webcam, because it's a waste. And in any case, you'd expect a webcam to be powered by a wall outlet or the USB... but most modern cameras like yours don't come with adapter-power, they have battery chargers instead. And they take too much current to use the USB power. By the time they'd added the extras to make it work properly as a webcam, you could BUY a USB webcam separately.

Anyway, back to your question... so, can your camera be used as a webcam? Probably not, but here's how you can tell. Make sure you've installed all the software you can find for your camera, power it up, and plug it in. Windows will tell you if it has a webcam function. If it's a webcam, then it will appear in "My Computer" as a device, right along with all the disk drives. To be sure, go to your control panel and select "Scanners and Cameras". Is your camera listed? If not... it's not a webcam.

In the unlikely event that you have a 'video in' on your computer, and that your camera has a 'video out' then you can follow the instructions on the sony site ("how to use a digital still camera as a webcam"); but most people will not have that yellow 'video in' connection.

Sorry this wasn't the news you really wanted.

I know...you've got this great camera and you thought "why should I spend extra money on a webcam when I can just use my amazing camera"? Well, sorry....it won't work as a webcam. Webcams aren't that expensive....treat yourself...go get one!

check the firewall, see if is not blocking your webcam
if you have a router, enable port forwarding for webcam

usually webcam uses TCP port 5100 for yahoo messenger

i lost my cd for my webcam and i was hoping you could help me with it.

You should be able to select the Logitech webcam in the Settings of the program you are using. Try this free webcam test site. Click on the camera icon and then choose the Logitech from the drop down list. Once you are sure it is loaded and working properly, go into your service and select the Logitech. In Skype it is under Settings, Camera. In MSN click Tools, Audio & Video set up, Next. It should give you the option to choose what camera you want to use.

when I have had this happen I unplug camera reboot wait until everything is loaded replug camera in camera is found.
If this does not work delete all camera drivers by
Start/control panel/system/device manager/right click camera properties delete driver reboot do this with camera disconnected
on reboot install drivers ensure they are installed properly system/device manager no yellow mark on it. reboot when system up and running plug camera in this should work

i don't think that the camera work as a webcam from the computer.

how can i use my c340 kodak camera as a webcam. i dont want to buy a webcam so i want to use my camera instead so can u help me.

Digital camera's do not normally operate as a webcam however I have come across the odd one that can do this. Cameras usually appear as a removable disk to the opperating system. Are you sure your camera can work in this way?
