I liked your review of this camera, but I have a question. When I connect it in OBS via cable and capture to use it as a webcam, there is a box in the middle that bothers me that pops up when detecting a person's face. So far I can't seem to get rid of that focus frame. I don't think it is eliminating the information, since I eliminate the information and the screen looks clean but when a face appears in the middle of the shot the frame appears, any solution with your experience?
Try to disable the Conitunes AF (auto focus): Click Menu Button -> Auto Focus (scroll through pages horizontally with D pad until you find it) -> Choose disable.
What should I choose between Canon PowerShot SX740 HS and Nikon Coolpix A1000 If I'd like a camera for taking photos and videos of idols during concert or fan meeting? Please answer!
Canon SX740 is the better choice, in my opinion. The Nikon has a screen that opens downward, marking it a bit awkward to use for selfie photos and videos. Canon has a slightly better zoom at 40x vs. 35x for Nikon. The nikon struggles big time on dark situations. And Canon has a rating of 4.5 stars vs 3.8 for the Nikon.
Thanks so much! I have this camera, and used the capture card and hdmi cord to use it as a webcam. However, the lens and camera black out after about 1 minute when recording. Do you know how to solve this?
The only explanation I can think of is that you have the battery saver on, and the camera turns the display off to save battery. Here's an article on how to enable or disable power mode. There's an option called eco mode. Perhaps you want to test with on and off to see if it foxes your issue. For reference, I never had this issue, so it should be fixed in the settings if it's not a hardware issue. support.usa.canon.com/kb/index?page=content&id=ART177600
I'm looking at this camera, sony hx99, and Panasonic lx10. Any thoughts? I want a camera that takes good/sharp portrait photos for a family trip so fast shutter and quick af is important. Price is the other factor. Thanks for the review!
I regret selling it, far better image and video quality than the Canon, I haven't tested the Lumix, but I heard great things about it. The only thing that Canon has on both, is zoom. Thanks for watching
Fixing cameras is expensive because they're very delicate and has so many small components. Use Google maps to search for a near by camera repair shop and ask for a quote prior to agreeing to fix it. Consider buying a new one as fixed will probably not be the same as new one.
It can be charged using any decent quality "micro USB cable." One of the downsides of this camera is that it can not be charged and used at the same time, and the battery charges slow. Yes, you can charge the battery while in the camera using the micro USB port. There are two more options to charge, get a docking station with batteries, available on Amazon.com (link below), or get a coupler for infinite battery time. The battery door has a small rubber door that can be moved to allow the wire of the coupler to pass through while the door is closed (link also below).

Without a doubt, the G7x (Mark iii) is a far superior camera, and you lose zoom range with (sort of), but the image quality is better. (Official Store) Bundle deal with everything you need: amzn.to/3AUskiF It will set you back 1600 USD, so it's not cheap, but if you're serious and new about your photography/videography, this camera is excellent. You could go for G7x Mark ii, which retails for around 1000 USD, but there's no 4k video and mostly renewed.
Thank you for the video, very informative! I am looking to buy a camera with very good quality camera for photos. That photographers crisp good quality photos and is easily transferable to your mobile phone. I am not fussed about the video/ zoom quality. Any recommendations? Many thanks
I would recommend the Sony HX99, 30x zoom, good sensor, and easy to pocket, for just under 500 USD. amzn.to/3ATVMF7 If your budget allows, go for the more expensive RX100.
DSC HX99 = amzn.to/3AHiP6i RX100 = amzn.to/3AVQg4T As for the RX100, this is the 7th gen, which retails for 1,300 USD, but you can get the 5th or 6th gen for less than that.
You would think that it would be nice, but the truth is, its no different than any other webcam. Logitech Brio 4k, had a similar image quality, easy to connect, IR camera for face ublock, only one cable required so less clutter and it only costs 150 USD. Not worth using as a webcam imo.
Hey Jude, unforetently, the pause recording option is not available on this type of camera. This is to prevent the camera from overheating. The camera can still warm up even when it pauses while recording.
ok, so you pay over 500$ to have a web cam (which you can get for around 200$ for a very good one), and you will never use it probably for anything else

No, the Sony HX99 does not have a one-inch sensor. It has a typical 1/2.3 sensor.

Try to change from video to photo mode. This should remove the focus square.
@@RandomTeq It still appears, did you use it as a webcam or just to record points of view?
Try to disable the Conitunes AF (auto focus): Click Menu Button -> Auto Focus (scroll through pages horizontally with D pad until you find it) -> Choose disable.
I bought this camera in this year. That's super awesome camera 🔥🔥🔥🔥😎😎🍹🍹💥💥
So, plugging it in through the HDMI on the camera, how do you actually get it to work as a webcam?
The other end of the HDMI plugs into a capture card, capture card to PC.
Sony hx99 has CMOS 1/2.3" same Canon sx740
Just double checked, the have the same sensor.

Takes way too long to transfer videos from phone

Did you not even try before asking?
does the canon camera have ability
to email photos
Not from the camera directly.
Can i use the flash when i am recording a video and how ?
No, flash can only be used for photography.
Are the pictures taken from this camera easily transferrable to a phone?
Yes, you can use the Canon app to transfer photos and videos via Bluetooth & Wifi.

To use as webcam and for zoom capability.
Quality images mehh
The appeal is in the zoom, no other camera offers 40x at this size.
