With Covid-19 having a deep impact on how organisations and indeed photographers interact and hold meetings, webcams and teleconferencing software are suddenly en-vogue. So it\u2019s no coincidence that Olympus has announced it is releasing free webcam software for users of its OM-D range of Micro Four Thirds mirrorless cameras.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis beta software transforms select Olympus OM-D interchangeable lens cameras into premium webcams for use with video conferencing software.\u201d said Olympus UK spokesperson Mark Thackara. \u201cYou can experience high-quality video conferencing and livestream events simply by installing the software on a PC, and connecting a supported camera using your camera\u2019s USB cable.\u201d<\/p>\n

The beta software is compatible with five Olympus OM-D models: the E-M1X, E-M1, E-M1 Mark II, E-M1 Mark III and the E-M5 Mark II \u2013 so not<\/strong> the E-M5 Mark III. Also, it is only compatible with Windows 10 at this stage. \u201cOnce the software has been installed, connect any compatible OM-D camera to the PC utilising the provided USB cable, turn the camera on, select the connection icon on the monitor, turn the web conferencing application on and select \u201cOM-D Webcam Beta\u201d in the device settings menu in the application,\u201d Thackara added.<\/p>\n

Owing to the pre-release nature of this beta software, it is not eligible for operational warranty or customer support, however. Full details can be found\u00a0here<\/a>. There is also a quick introduction to the new features on Olympus UK’s Facebook page<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
