I hate corpo niggers, how did we get here?

just use magic lantern or whatever the custom firmware those canons will usually take

Can't you just use a capture card?

>>106114753
Man, I wish the EOS2000D had that but nope, not on the list of supported cameras. Fucking garbage.

i will never understand why people will spend 10s of hours failing at trying to make something that's not designed to do the particular job to make it do the particular job, instead of spending a little more money on something that is designed to do the particular job out of the box

>>106114808
I guess the assumption is one of these would be better than a webcam. Thing is pic related is absolute garbage with video.

>>106114808
I have an interview monday and this is my only camera, I understand it's not made for this purpose but it CAN do the job and the only reason it ISN'T doing the job is because some fucking nigger thought it was a great idea to lock 1080p video behind a 6$ a month payment

>>106114842
so just pay it if you need it that desperately?

>>106114842
Can't you use your phone like a normal person? I hate smartphones but even I just use my phone for online video chat, much simpler.

Or get one of those clip-on webcams that cost like $15 from your local computer store before the interview. I used to use those before I noticed that phones are simpler (also, every fucking instant message app is now either phone only, or their windows desktop version is utter fucking dogshit).

>>106114842
Can't you do it at 720p?
Can't you pay 6 bucks?
Can't you steal a fucking webcam from somewhere else? No spare laptops? Just use your phone?

>>106114912
Yeah, I did, I can't even log into my own account that bought the subscription, so fuck me i guess
>>106114941
>>106114913
I suppose I will just use the 720p, this all is such bullshit though 500$ camera and i have to bend over and get fucked just to do this one simple thing

>>106114963
Photography ain't cheap. You can buy lenses for the same price as that piece of trash that I hope you didn't buy recently.

>>106114963
$500 for a 2000D is robbery btw, you can hunt them out for half of that

>>106114968
2023 and this is nothing about photography, it's about corpo niggers raping everything

>>106114978
Christ almighty.
Oh well, hope you learned your lesson

>>106114743 (OP)
>have capture card
>connect camera preview output into you computer
done

>>106114963
>this all is such bullshit though 500$ camera and i have to bend over and get fucked just to do this one simple thing

You are using a fucking DSLR designed for photography, not as a video camera.

>I suppose I will just use the 720p,
oh no, it'll make so much fucking difference for a job interview. your interviewer won't be able to see every single strand of your nose hair and you will surely fail for that single reason.

>>106114743 (OP)
>doesn't actually tell what camera and what program
fake thread to garner attentions you missed as a child

>>106114743 (OP)
>how did we get here?
Basically no one uses standalone cameras anymore outside of professional productions and ecelebs and both of those are either rich or retarded enough to just cough up whatever the companies demand in monthly sacrifices.

>>106114842
you don't wanna be too crispy clear in an interview if anything you should be a little blurry which gives you a poker face advantage real information exchange happens on audio anyway

>>106114743 (OP)
Raspi camera works ootb :)
