How To Live Stream With a Nikon DSLR Camera 2024

[@LitCurls]

This was the ONLY video that helped me. Several other videos said that this camera could not have live view for any more than 30 minutes! Thank you for knowing the truth.

Nikon D7000 how to remove info(iso, f, resolution, etc.) and red squarefrom video???

[@mandranderson]

My camera is a Nikon d7000. Could you tell me which cable I need to buy to connect the camera to the Video Capture device. The D7000 cable has usb connector on one end and the hdmi on the other, but I need a cable with hdmi connectors at both ends. Thank you for a very informative video.

[@InnovaLeafCreativeSolutions]

Hi Mark, thank you for your message. The cable you need is the same listed in the description box below - Mini HDMI to HDMI kzbin.info/www/bejne/amTVZqR7iqhjmsU You may find it at amazon - BlueRigger Mini HDMI to HDMI Cable: tiny.cc/oq9eoz

@@mandranderson hi Mark, i would like to ask if you can stream with your D7000 yet and are you using the same cam link 4K capture device card that he recommended in the video? I wanna confirm if it works before I buy it. Thanks😊

[@mandranderson]

@@natsworldUS I haven’t actually done so as yet. However, I was able to connect the camera via the Video Capture device and recommended software as per the video instruction. I haven’t as yet tried to remove the camera data from the screen.

I also have D700 and went thru the hdmi setup but could not find "advance" to turn off the live view. The video for live view duration cannot be set to unlimited, as maximum in the menu was 30 minutes. I'm using the firmware version 105

[@carnifexx]

I can confirm that you can use a Nikon D600 for Streaming. (I assume that the D610 will work as well, both are cheaper to get than the other full frames). Didn't turn off after hours and hours of streaming. Use the film live-view and cycle through the "info" button to get rid of all ui-icons. You can still change ISO, focus, etc live. Obviously set the live view to infinite in the settings and use an akku-power adapter and hdmi mini out cable. The Vitesun power adapter costs 20$, a cheap hdmi-usb adapter 12$, the Cam can do 720P@ 60fps and 1080@30fps, which is plenty for streaming.

Hi Can i use D3500 for live streaming & what do i need to have

[@InnovaLeafCreativeSolutions]

Hi, the model D3500 won't give you unlimited live-view time. These models are limited for live streaming purposes.

[@JasonQiuMusic]

Does this work with Nikon D90?

[@InnovaLeafCreativeSolutions]

Hi Jason, thank you for your message. Unfortunately, the Nikon D90 wasn't made for long periods of recording nor live streaming. It would overheat. Video recording is limited to 5 minutes in HD and 20 minutes in SD to prevent overheating. An hours long stream would greatly exceed that. I'd say it would be a poor option for a streaming camera, unless you do really short streams. I would suggest watching this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/enrQo3itgLKAr5o In this video, I show the best camera options for live streaming for all possible budgets. I hope this helps.

Hello can I do the for the d7100?

[@InnovaLeafCreativeSolutions]

Hello Crystal, the Nikon D7100 can be used for the same purpose, but using Live View for an extended period can harm your camera. The new models, including D7200 and D7500, come with a different sensor helping the camera stay cool during long periods of live view.

Hi does this also work on a Nikon d610 using either wirecast or obs studio?

[@TMDangerMouse]

@Innova Leaf Creative Solutions Thanks for the video 👍 Please can you help me with 2 questions? I want to use this as a webcam. 1: Does this have a clean HDMI 'with' the autofocus still working and no face tracking box? 2: Can I use 1080p 60fps with the HDMI out? Canon cameras seem to lock at 30fps via HDMI? Many thanks 😎

[@InnovaLeafCreativeSolutions]

Hi, thank you for your message. I'm assuming you are using a Cannon camera. Most Canon cameras are having issues for live streaming, but they have created a new app where you can access and live stream directly from there and over pass time limit. I'm assuming that by using this app, you will be able to have a clean output for most cameras. The live streaming resolution used does not depend on your camera only, it also depends on the platform you are using. Most platform only allows 1080p at 30fps.

[@TMDangerMouse]

@@InnovaLeafCreativeSolutions Hi, I'm interested in the Nikon D7500, does your Nikon do the things in my first post? Thanks 👍

[@InnovaLeafCreativeSolutions]

Thank you for your message. The time your camera is staying live depends on your model. If it does not support unlimited live view time, you won't extend that time. I'm not quite sure if this is what you are asking, but I hope I was able to help. Thank you.

[@InnovaLeafCreativeSolutions]

Depending of what you are planning of doing. If you are live streaming using KZbin or Facebook, you don't have to install anything. If you want to create scenes and control better you presentations, you need a third party app such as OBS or Ecamm Live.

[@MyCancerChicBlog]

Do you have any suggestions for how to best adjust the focus settings for the D3400 for streaming?

The best way to adjust your focus is to make sure your lens auto option is on. If not, use a reference, focus on it and that will be your point for you to stand.

is it compatible with nikon D5300?

[@InnovaLeafCreativeSolutions]

Check their compatibility chart www.elgato.com/en/cam-link/camera-check Sometimes, the camera is not listed but still is compatible. So, I'll recommend checking first before purchasing the capture card.

[@kylejonscriv74]

Hi! I have everything exactly as you have it. down to the camera! When I open quicktime as you did and select the 4k cam link, the screen is black. I have the switch on the back of the camera at the bottom right pointed to the videocamera. Is there something I am missing? I checked elgato to see if I needed a driver but their website says it doesn't need a driver.

[@InnovaLeafCreativeSolutions]

Hi Jonathan, thank you for your message. If you have all your connections ready to go, and have a black screen, there are two options for you to check. First, make sure your camera have HDMI output selected in the settings. The second option is to activate the live view on your camera so it can transfer what the camera is seeing to Quicktime. I hope I was able to help. Thank you.

Can I use nikon D90 as a web cam?

[@InnovaLeafCreativeSolutions]

To use it, you download and install the utility, then plug in and select your camera. When you open a video conferencing app, SparkoCam Video appears in your list of webcams. Perhaps by using this app, you can eliminate the icons from the screen. I hope this can help. Thank you.

[@carlturner544]

Excellent video, you've a new Sub! The first one I've watched that explains the settings on a Nikon so you don't get a 'cut off' after 10, 20 or 30 mins. I've a D7200 and my menu looks the same as your D7500, for the settings you mentioned anyway. So just to be 100% clear as I was about to purchase another cam, as I thought Nikon's would always shut down after a period of time, with the settings you've mentioned, your D7500 does not shut down and easily used for live streamings (with the other bits of kit mentioned of course).

[@InnovaLeafCreativeSolutions]

Hi Carl, thank you for your message as well as your support. Even though both cameras are pretty similar in their settings, I think the Nikon D7200 does not offer unlimited recording times, but up to 30 min depending on your resolution settings.

Hi Mona, and thank you for your message. If you plan on recording yourself or start doing live streaming, I strongly recommend using an external microphone. The built-in mics in the cameras are the best when recording audio. Remember, audio is so important to keep people engaged too.

[@daviddunson]

Thank you for this information. I currently own a D7000 with a hacked firmware for clean HDMI output; however, the Live View output is only 720p and the image is cropped (contains black borders which I have to crop in OBS). I'm looking to upgrade to the D7500 since I already own several compatible lenses. Your video confirms the clean output support; however, you do not mention the resolution of the output via HDMI in Live View. Can you confirm the HDMI output resolution on this camera in Live View? Thank you.

[@InnovaLeafCreativeSolutions]

Hi David, thank you for your message and your question as well. To answer your question, I would say that the Nikon D7500 is the best Nikon version for live-streaming. It can live-stream up to 4K with the right equipment and using the right software. Try also, on OBS changing the video Bitrate from 2500 to 4000 or 8000. Sometimes, the resolution is affected by how fast your internet connection is, and the settings in your software in connection with your camera. I hope this helps. Thank you.

[@InnovaLeafCreativeSolutions]

Hi Fahrul, thank you for your comment. The connection is from HDMI to the card device. The reason why you can't use a displayport, is because you need a capture card device like the Cam Link 4k to convert the image to the computer.

Hi Courtney, thank you for your message. As per your request, here is the answer to both of your questions: 1. You may need to set the Output Resolution option to a setting other than Auto. When you connect the camera to an HDTV playback, the camera automatically adjusts the HDMI output to your HD display. But when the Live View switch is set to Movie mode, the signal is output according to the selected movie Frame Rate/Frame Size setting. In order to transfer information from your camera to your computer, make sure you are using a video capture devise. otherwise, you won't be able to convert the signal to your computer. 2. While you are live-streaming, your camera won't allow you to record at the same time. If you want to record yourself, try using a third party app or software to record your computer screen such as OBS Studio, QuickTime, or Ecamm. I hope I was able to help. Thank you.

Thank you so much! Can I use my NIKON D 90 to do that? Thanks!

[@InnovaLeafCreativeSolutions]

Hi Jean, thank you for your message. You may be able to do it with an app called SparkoCam (Windows only). To use it, you download and install the utility, then plug in and select your camera. When you open a video conferencing app, SparkoCam Video appears in your list of webcams. I don't think this camera will give you the option to have extended live view timer, but you may want to record your sessions and then post them. I hope I was able to help. Thank you.

Are there options for livvestreaming not with a notebook..but a smartphone/iphone combined with a Nikon liokje a Z6? can you recommend a HDMI cable for longer distance between camera and notebook?

[@InnovaLeafCreativeSolutions]

Hi Jörg, thank you for your message. Yes, you can. Use the iPhone to live stream in one platform and then the Z6 camera to live stream in a different platform. The iPhone you can just connected directly to the platform you want to live stream from, and the camera you connect it to your computer by following the steps I gave you on my video, and then transfer the video to a different platform. About the HDMI cable, there are different options that you can buy at amazon up to 10ft depending of your camera. Make sure which one you need, mini or micro HDMI to HDMI. I hope I was able to help. Thank you.

[@MrRoosterx]

I'm guessing the difference between using this method and using the Nikon webcam driver is that you get combined sound and video from the camera, and with the Nikon driver you do not?

How to i live stream with Nikon D5100

[@dachikachkachashvili2986]

Hello,awesome video but i need some help. there is no option like advanced in my Nikon D5300.There is only output resolution and device control

[@InnovaLeafCreativeSolutions]

Hello, thank you for your message. These camera series do not have that option. In some D5000's models, to have clean HDMI output, you must press the info button several times until all the icons have disappeared from the screen. I hope I was able to help. Thank you.

i have the d5300. it has a time out for 30 minutes and is pretty annoying. i cannot figure out how to make the live view set to "always on" . this model you used allows that but i cannot seem to do it on mine. please help!!!

[@InnovaLeafCreativeSolutions]

Hi Obiwan, sorry to hear that. Unfortunately, the Nikon models D5000 and below don't provide an extra option for extended or unlimited live view time. Some guys use a hack using a rubber band to keep the shutter button pressed, but that might force the sensor since those cameras were not made for that purpose as the new D7000 and D700 and above. Sorry about that.

[@obiwanjakobi1415]

@@InnovaLeafCreativeSolutions thanks for your reply i appreciate it, i found the aperture button (+/-) resets the timer, and doesnt cause anything to show up on the hdmi output. so i either press it every so often, or im sure the rubber band trick would work without putting extra stress on the shutter

@@obiwanjakobi1415 I hope that solution works for you. Thank you for the update.

[@CostasConstantinou_GR]

Many thanks - Excellent Video !! how do you ensure that the face keeps focused and the camera does not start focusing on the background? Do you use manual focus? I will not have an assistant to control the camera and if the focus is lost during the live presentation it will be a disaster !

[@InnovaLeafCreativeSolutions]

Hi Costas, thank you for your message. I personally don't use the auto focus when I'm recording my videos or doing live streaming. Before, I start doing anything, I make sure to focus the area where I'll be located at. If you have help then ask the person to focus on you and then set the shot, if not, place an item that you may focus yourself. That's the best solution. I hope I was able to help. Thank you.

[@InnovaLeafCreativeSolutions]

Hi Federico, thank you for your question. Unfortunately, this model does not offer more than 30 min for unlimited live view mode. There are ways to over pass this like placing a rubber band to maintain the live view button pressed, but it'll overheat the camera. I hope this answer your question. Thank you.

Good evening and thanks for the tutorial. Is possible to turn off live view display info on a D5300? Thanks a lot

[@InnovaLeafCreativeSolutions]

Hi Sergio, thank you for your message. As for the clean hdmi output, here what you can do. When you first connect it up, you might see icons and status displays around the image. You can get rid of those to get a clean live view by pressing the info button on the top of the camera near the shutter button. Each time you press it, it’ll cycle through a short selection of different versions of the screen, and one of them is a clean video feed with no extra information on-screen. Note that this is not the same as the (i) button on the back near the viewfinder-they don’t do the same thing. I hope I was able to help. Thank you.

[@sergiomanca]

I really thank you for your reply. I tried the solution you propose and the cleanest screen I can obtain is one without the information but with a "-" sign on each side of the screen. I think is a limit of the software, do you agree? Thanks for any other help. Sergio

Great video! I have one question that you did not mention. What about powering the Nikon you didn't mention length of time, do you run it off battery or do you plug it in direct. I would love to hear how you power your Nikon for Live streaming and long streams of 1 hour or longer?

Hi Brandon, thank you very much for your support as well as your message. Check minute 4:44 of the video.

Hi Just Artixx, thank you for your message. I'm sorry to hear that. I have never heard that from this model, but I'm assuming it must be an issue with the sensor being exposed for so long, but again, this is odd on these cameras with unlimited live timers. Try keeping the live view screen off, or open the battery door to let some heat come out. I hope this could help. Try contacting Nikon. Hopefully, they might have a better answer.

Hi SDA, thank you for your message. The reason you are seeing those lines, it is because of the size of your frame.

Hello BC CAMBO, thank you so much for your message and your inquiries. I'm glad I was able to help you on finding a way to connect your camera to your laptop. As far as the stop motion recording goes, the connection I explain is for doing live streaming online. Unless you are showing your stop motion video online after done, you don't need a connection to do such video. The reason I suggest the Cam Link 4K for your camera/laptop connection, is because you need a video card converter to pass the signal from your camera to your computer. I hope this helps to answer your question.
