Use Canon Powershot G6 with Photo Booth?

I have a brand new Mac Pro running OS 10.5.7 with photo booth, but no isight camera. I'd like to use my Canon Powershot G6 with Photo Booth, but when I plug in my camera, via USB cable, and launch Photo Booth, there is just a blank picture window.

I'd be very grateful for any suggestions of how to make this work (if possible) or where I might look for a solution.

Many thanks in advance.

Hi,

In Many apps that can access cameras it is about the resolution the software that the app restricts the camera to, rather than the abilities of the camera.

You may find that some cameras such as those that connect by Firewire may produce a more pleasing picture rather than being at a different resolution.

There is not much difference in External USB cameras over the Internal one on those Macs that have Internal iSights.

is cheap and works for a7 day trial before you have to commit yourself and can access some features and tweak the video from Web cams in various Apps
