Q:How can i get nikon coolpix S60 to work as a webcam?—Kaylaa!

• I don’t know where my manual and such went, but can i use my camera as a webcam? When i connect it up to my computer, i can take pictures like to where it will show up on the computer screen right then, so would i be able to use it as a webcam? If not, where are some good webcams i could find?

• No, it produces far to high resolution as a start, plus it has an auto shut-off feature to make the battery last longer (140 shots before recharging).The typical $25-$50 webcam produces image files even smaller than most new cell phone cameras. Remember that webcams are sending out images at 30 fps, so in order to reduce the bandwidth necessary to do that, the images are very low resolution
