What is the definitive guide to using mirrorless cameras as webcams according to Scott Kivowitz?

Hi there!

The available content I have right now does not include a definitive guide from me specifically about using mirrorless cameras as webcams. I can still walk you through a solid, practical setup based on common best practices and what I typically recommend for camera use.

• Use a clean HDMI output (or the brand’s webcam utility) from your mirrorless camera
• Pair it with a capture card (Elgato Cam Link, generic HDMI–USB, etc.) if using HDMI
• Set camera to:
  • 1080p, 24–60fps
  • Face/eye AF if available
  • Manual exposure and white balance so brightness and color stay consistent
• Power the camera with a dummy battery or USB‑C power (avoid relying on a single battery)
• Use a fast lens (f/1.4–f/2.8) and place the camera slightly above eye level, 2–4 feet away
• Turn off auto power‑off, sleep, and screen overlays

Are you using a specific brand (Sony, Canon, Nikon, Fuji, etc.) so I can tailor this more precisely?
