Is my camera, also a webcam?

Question

I heard how people can use their camera, as a webcam! Is these even possible? I have a "CANON Powershot A430" so is my camera also a webcam? if so, how do i use it

Answer 1

A webcam capture low-resolution and projects it live without storing any information. Your digital camera stores and then projects the images when you are ready to see them. After looking up the info on your camera I do not believe that your camera can capture and project live. If you need a webcam try these:

Answer 2

I don't think you can use your camera as a webcam. Most cameras that are also webcams are very cheap quality. If you want a webcam I would suggest you go and buy a cheap one for about $20!!

Answer 3

Your Canon has a movie mode than can shoot short videos. You can read your manual to learn how to use this feature.
