What to know
Canon
EOS DSLR and mirrorless cameras supported by the Canon SDK (EDSDK)
Native control
USB
Canon SDK bundled in the installer, nothing else to install. Live view during the countdown, focus started ahead of the shot, photo also kept on the SD card. Only one program can drive the camera: close EOS Utility and EOS Webcam Utility.
Nikon
Nikon DSLRs (from the D90 on) and Nikon Z mirrorless cameras
Native control
USB (PTP, Windows driver)
No Nikon software to install. Live view and focus during the countdown. The photo goes through the camera’s buffer, with no dependency on the SD card. Set image quality to JPEG; close Nikon Transfer and NX Tether.
Any brand
Any webcam Windows recognizes, built-in cameras included
Through Windows
USB or built-in
Pick the camera in the booth admin, no restart needed.
Sony, Fujifilm, Panasonic
Cameras from other brands
Workaround
Maker’s webcam utility or HDMI capture card
The booth sees the camera as a webcam: no native control (shutter, focus) and no full-resolution photo.
