Earlier this week, Sony added an update to the list of shooters that can be used as a webcam. Sony drops the v2.0 firmware update to use the ZV-1 vlogging camera as a livestreaming device or video calls on a Windows/Mac via USB. All w/o the need of an HDMI converter box.
This update allows for higher resolution during livestreaming. This will be able to take advantage of ZV-1’s autofocus features like Face Detection + Continuous AF as it will be available on devices running Windows 8.1/10 and macOS 10.13-11. This will allow you to livestream using Xperia 1 II or the 5 II to use as a display monitor.
In case you didn’t know, Sony allows for webcam features on their A9 II, A9, A7S III, A7R IV, A7R III, A7R II, A7S II, A7S, A7 III, A7 II, A6600, A6500, A6400, A6100, as well as its fixed-lens devices like RX100 VII, RX100 VI, RX0 II, RX0, and the ZV-1.
