HOW TO USE DSC-W650 AS WEBCAM - Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-W560 Digital Camera

Hi, This is a very well known problem that happens a lot and still today with Sony camera's. Error messages can be found at https://www.sony.com.au/electronics/support/articles/00008857. E:62:10 is a generic error of the stabilizer. After less than 3 years of use the stabilizer breaks down, making it impossible to take sharp pictures, and displaying the dreaded E:62:10 error message. Thousands of users on the Internet have the same problem, read the website http://sony-e-62-10.tk/ or search E:62:10 on the Internet or on YouTube. A temporary solution could be available at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S53D3EfDVk0. For me it is a hidden defect or a problem of obsolescence programmed which Sony refuses to follow up despite the many complaints. I would indeed advise taking contact with the support services, and keep us posted of the evolution of your case.

Where did you check the memory card? in the computer? that is not the right place. Every card, old or new, you use in a camera for the first time should be formatted in the camera. First you must be 100% sure it is the correct card. Not every memory stick Sony has, can be used in every camera. So check the manual, what Duo, Pro or other memory card should go into your camera. Check if you have the correct card. Then if the card was used before, check if no pictures are on the card (external memory card reader) and save the pictures to the computer. Then format the card. If you can't format the card in the camera, try to format it in the external memory card reader. Use FAT32. Then reinsert the card in the camera and again try to format the card. If nothing goes, try another (correct) card to make sure nothing is wrong with the camera.

Sorry, there is no way to use DSC-H50 as webcam.

Hi,

DSC-W300 Sony digital still Camera is not supported for use as a Webcam. For video conference, use a dedicated Webcam or video camera that supports this function. You can use the MHS-PM1 AND MHS-CM1 Webbie HD MP4 Camera supports video conferencing.

Thanks for using FixYa.

No. The DSC-W50 will not work as a webcam. The USB cable will let you transfer pictures and videos that have already been taken to your computer. It will not let you stream live video to your computer.

Take a look at this.

use my dsc h50 as a web cam

Hi,

I am sorry but the Sony DSC-S60 cannot be used as a webcam.

Look at the supplied software and try the Yahoo/etc software but beware that most cameras are not built to run as a webcam. The designs are for size and wieght so the cameras tend to overheat and expire. If they don't tout the webcam feature, then you know why.
