Good morning everyone.
I'm trying to set up my Nikon D5100 for use as a webcam. I followed instructions here to download the WebView utility and connect the camera via the USB cable. When I open my video recording software, the camera does show up as a video source, but I am unable to switch to LiveView. If I do not have the USB cable plugged into the camera, I am able to switch to Live View, but that would preclude me from using it as a webcam. Does anyone have any idea if there is an additional setting I am missing, or if this functionality is incorrectly identified as working?
