Will this work?

I have a coolpix 5200 camera (with lead) and I was wondering if I could use it as a webcam;)

whats a lead on a camera?

EDIT: Ah, I see you’re from the UK…you use different words than we do…you must mean a ‘cable’. Is this ‘lead’ a USB or a FireWire? (Does it say IEEE or does it say USB?) If it doesn’t say IEEE, then you better hope it has USB2.0 compatibility, and that your computer does too. If you’ve answered yes to the IEEE question or the USB2.0 question, then yes, you can use it as a webcam.

i’d wager the manual can help with this question. if not the nokia website can likely enlighten you.

hes male ,he dosn’t need a manual

Yeah, geez! Manuals are for quitters,wimps, and stuuupd people!

and women.

mainly women

it says usb + a/v
out

link?

id turn it on, plug it in, set the camera you are using in the program, and hope for the best. but thats just me.

what program?

if you wanna use it as a webcam i take it you wanna chat to people while your doing it?

i see you use MSN, wait a minute.

Yes.

Guess you know what google is now;)

not nokia.com? i’m just guessing. or like someone else said, plug it in and find out.

Ok I had a chat with owen and could not get it to work so i’m giving up;)
