Connect the USB cable to the Mac. Set the camera into Movie Mode if one is available. Enter the settings menu of your video conferencing app and select the EOS. The clean HDMI functionality on your compatible EOS camera is typically used in a video scenario to record the image externally for films. Using a separate HDMI capture device (required), you can also use it as a webcam to livestream with your computer. With your EOS camera now attached to the computer through HDMI, you can achieve. Use Your Canon EOS 1000D As Webcam!.UPDATED.: Hi,in this tutorial I'll show you how to use your Canon 1000D (the others would work, too, but I couldn't test any other) as a webcam without any hardware/software hacks, just software solutions;-).Sorry my English, if. If your Canon DSLR does not have video recording feature, but you still want to make one, you can follow the video to do it. You may download 'EOS Camera Mov.
Eos Camera Movie Record Software
For anyone who don't have the Canon CD.
You don't actually need the provided CD to get the EOS Utility installed ;)
The installer is just looking for a certain registry entry.
Create 2 text files.
Name the first 'EOSx86.reg', the second 'EOSx64.reg'.
Edit 'EOSx86.reg' with notepad, insert the following text between the dashes (not the dashes themselves!):
----------------------------------------------------------
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWARECanon]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWARECanonEOS Utility]
----------------------------------------------------------
Save the file, execute it. Let it make a new registry entry.

Execute the Canon 'updater' euw2.14.20a-updater.exe, it should work now.
Yes, it’s true! You can record videos on your EOS 450D / Rebel XSi, but only when tethered to your PC/Laptop via the USB cable. For me this is ideal, as it means I can get decent quality footage of the band using tripod and laptop. Some peope don’t know why you’d bother doing this, as you can get good quality footage off a webcam. Well here’s some reasons: you can use your decent lenses to get better low light footage, and you can use the tremendous power of a zoom lens plus 5x zoom mode to get some really nice closeups!
You need to download the latest version of “EOS Camera Movie Record” from http://valexvir.narod.ru. I’m using version 0.1.4
You’ll also find the installation file on this Sourceforge Page, and project details here.
You’ll also need to have installed the Canon USB drivers so that your camera can talk to your PC. I’d advise exiting Canon’s EOS Utility (in the preferences you can tell it not to run every time you connect the 450D) before running “EOS Camera Movie Record”, which should appear in your start menu.

Now then, assuming your camera is on, and connected to USB, when you run “EOS Camera Movie Record” you should hear the familiar sound of the EOS 450D’s shutter popping up, just as it does during Live View mode. A few seconds later you should see the real time video feed in the program window, which ought to look something like this:
- The resolution is 848 x 560, at somewhere around 20 frames per second, depending.
- If you have a ‘cannot initialize’ error, take our your memory card
- To change the default file location, click on the … icon
- To alter the camera’s aperture, first click the ‘DOF’ button, then once its depressed you can selected your desired f-number
- When ready to record, hit ‘Write!’
- I’m not sure what the maximum file size is yet, but i suspect it can’t go beyond 8gb because of Windows
- To ease the load on your CPU, deselect the ‘Show captured image’ button. Make sure your camera’s in focus though!
TOP TIP!
Now, some folks will have you believe that you can’t access any of the camera’s functions once the program has started. NOT TRUE!
Assuming you have Live View enabled, once EOS Camera Movie Record is running, just hit your normal Live View button. You should see Live View on the camera screen, AND on the PC. Now you can adjust: exposure, aperture, WB, ISO, and you can even engage autofocus (depending on which Live View focus mode you have set in the camera’s custom options).
You can even engage the 5x zoom mode, and it transfers across to PC. For some reason 10X doesn’t work. With a telephoto lens, you can use this tip to get some seriously zoomed footage, and record it to video. This lets you use the full power of your sensor and lens.
