Question about Canon Eos M6 Ii

Hello, can I connect the camera to my PC via USB-C and use it as a webcam? Is it then supplied with power via the USB connection? And can the camera also be charged directly via USB cable? Thank you

Helpful answer

To the 2nd part: Neither can the camera be operated via USB power nor can the battery be charged with it. Unfortunately.
There is an optionally available external mains adapter that is inserted into the battery slot as a dongle. That's all.

About the first part: The software is available for Windows and Mac, under Linux I almost managed to get the whole thing to work with V4L.

hi

webcam works with additional software from canon

unfortunately i have not found anything for the second part of the question.
in the pictures there is still a power cable attached ... so I don't think the USB will be enough to permanently supply the camera with power.
