Using the A3s as a webcam

It is possible to use the A3s as a webcam, but not all programs are supporting this camera. One of a very interesting program
is the 

 from NCH which I use.

- Download the program from the website and install it 
- Turn on the camera and connect it to the computer using the supplied cable. The camera is now charging and the mass storage
  drivers will be installed 

. Wait until these drivers are completely installed.  Now push the on/off button. Supplemental video and

  audio drivers will be installed 

. During all these operations the red LED flashes, no matter if your are in video mode or in

  charging/access mode.  (note : you do not need to remove the SD-card). Next time you connect the camera to the computer,
  the camera will directly start in charging/access mode. You need to push the on/off button to switch to the video transfer mode.
- Start the program now. Open the ‘Tools’ menu 

, then ‘Options’. In the Video tab, chose the device  ‘GENERAL -UVC ’ 

- The A3s is now ready for use
