No, you can't use your $6,299.00 Camera as a Webcam. That will be $5 – Roman Zipp (romanzipp.com)

There are so many apps that will let you use your SLR or phone as a webcam. I've played around with a few, because I use 1 old phone and an older SLR as cameras for FBT in VR.

Shit is kinda ridiculous that it doesn't just show up in the OS as a fuckin' camera without some "hacking." It should literally work out of the box.
