Two issues connecting my D5300

Post by ankitify »

Hi Team,

First of all, Thanks a lot for this amazing software.
I was able to connect my Nikon D5300 with Qdslrdash yesterday. I am trying to use it as a Webcam on my MacBook Air. There are currently two problems that I face:

1. The LiveView limit is 10 minute only. I'm aware of this setting in my camera and have already increased it to 30 minutes. Is there anything I need to change in tool?
2. I am trying to connect OBS Studio to make Qdslrdash input as Source feed. However, It is not recognising the tool. Anybody having idea how to solve this? Feel free to suggest OBS alternative.


Another small query, Can I control aperture via Qdslrdash?

Sorry but qDslrDashboard is for controlling your DSLR, not to be as a webcamera.
You can control the aperture if the selected exposure mode allows it, and if your attached lens supports it.
You can change the live view timeout in your camera settings.
