Sony DSC-QX100 Webcamizer

You can use your DSC-QX100 as webcam.

Prerequisites

A WiFi device that is not used for Internet connections

To use the camera as a webcam, you need a WiFi connection with the camera. Therefore, additional Internet connections are needed.

Installing and preparing virtual camera application

Pelase read carefully and follow below link:

https://github.com/letmaik/pyvirtualcam#supported-virtual-cameras

How to install

$ ./install.sh

This build script builds pyvirtualcamera directly to run in a variety of environments, especially Apple Silicon. If you want, install the pyvirtualcamera project with pip and skip the build process.

How to run

First of all, turn on your QX-100 and connect with it's WiFi AP.

$ python run.py

Then use your virtual camera!

Option

You can choose shoot mode between still and movie.

$ python run.py --mode movie

According to my experiment, the still mode can achieve an aspect ratio of 4:3, but the focus shifts unnaturally. And the movie mode can achieve an aspect ratio cropped 16:9, and the focus shifts naturally. But, various camera settings are limited.
