No offense, but this sounds like a terrible camera for your use case. It sounds like you know that.

My Sony that I've been using as a webcam since COVID can do that, and it was 6 years old when I bought it. Upgrade when you can!

To be fair, I also have the dummy battery + HDMI capture + desktop clamp mount + live view faff for my D7500, but once you set it up it's just... there. I don't need to fiddle with it much further. It's a bit of a cable mess but I intend to upgrade to the Z6iii together with an upgrade to a desktop (so I can have a PCIe capture card), which will cut down the number of dongles all over.

  • I have that setup too. I was referring to this:

    > it won't autofocus continuously or keep the exposure and white balance stable unless you're recording a video

    That basically defeats our setup as now they're worrying about their recording time running out in the middle of a meeting.
