Solved! How to connect Panasonic TZ40 to laptop

[kskordestani]

Hi, I have a Panasonic TZ40 that I'd like to connect to my laptop to use with OBS. It has a USB and HDMI port but I can't figure out how to make it send its live feed to the laptop. Can someone help? Kaveh

Check the manual, stating about page 200

I have gone through the manual but I cannot conclude how to connect it to OBS..
Is it possible without a capture card using the WiFi?
if using the HDMI and the capture card is then a clear signal? ( I do not see any options about that
"lmaster" makes the connection but it does not register it as a camera..

Thanks in advance

Looking deeper .. it seems to only can display over HDMI in play-back mode.. ( tested on TZ-30 and they are almost the same camera ( WiFi in TZ-40 )
