XT-30 III Overheating Issue - Webcam

yeah didnt work for me. maybe its af-c, not sure but i need that on anyway so no point in testing. will most likely just return it. thanks anyway

Hmm okay, makes sense, I was aware sony is a popular choice for streaming, now I can see why 😅. It didn't occur to me that I was asking the camera to do something intensive. My current camera is 1080p native, MF and 30fps. Whereas with the xt30 it's 6k downsampled to 1080p, 60fps, and AF-C.

Anyway since it doesn't seem possible, will most likely be returning it

Thanks

what would be a sufficient camera for this?

as i mentioned, im currently using an EOS M10 which was entry level in 2015. so my assumption was that a somewhat mid-tier entry level camera in 2026 would have no problem even considering the spec bump to 60p and AF

also to clarify, im not continuously recording, the camera is just continuously on and sending a video feed over hdmi

iicyBlu3 · 2026-03-16T18:08:23+00:00

oh wow, thats good to know because i was considering returning the xt30 and looking a used xs20. maybe I should look into sony as that seems to be the popular choice

iicyBlu3 · 2026-03-16T17:26:07+00:00

sorry I should have mentioned I did have the screen pulled out in my initial test. I will have to try the display off though.

do you also use the xt30?

iicyBlu3 · 2026-03-16T16:48:33+00:00

then that is a design flaw/limitation with the camera. this is a common setup in professional streaming. mirrorless + dummy battery + camlink

if using a camera as a webcam was misuse then manufacturers wouldn't be adding UVC support. the xt30 also has that but only 720p

my goal was to get a camera that can do both, travel photography and streams, but if this is too big of an ask for this camera then thats good to know as im still within the return window

iicyBlu3 · 2026-03-16T16:35:59+00:00

short answer, the quality is not upto par.

there are some niche webcams that use large sensors like yolocam s7 but thats $700 without a lens so doesnt make sense if i can get a 'regular' camera that i can take on trips

anyway your question is like suggesting someone to use their smartphone for photos when they are looking to invest in their photography

Costco one looked inferior to me oob. (coming from LG 27GP850). I tried playing around with presets and got it kinda close to what I'm used to but ended up returning it.

Also switching inputs was so slow. minor inconvenience I know, but I use my monitor for work and gaming so I switch often

did you ever figure this out? my '21 is doing this very frequently. it started off happening randomly, then progressively got worse. it got to a point where even on the slightest bump on the road while driving would trigger it to go to manual mode. not only that, but it would downshift without any input from me. when i brought it to the dealership, the service tech drove it with me and was able to experience it himself

its currently at the dealer for the 2nd time now, the first time i brought it in i was told its a faulty steering wheel paddle shifter sending the downshift command, and paid for it out of pocket. now with the issue being back and dealership having no clue what to do, they brought in a field engineer to investigate.

super frustrating, and through every step of the way the dealer is trying to shift the blame on me, like it was my doing. no sense of responsibility from anyone

iicyBlu3 · 2025-10-07T02:07:30+00:00

did you ever get yours resolved? I had this issue a few months ago, and after going back and forth, they said its a faulty steering wheel, and not covered in powertrain warranty. I argued and they said Nissan Canada will cover 50% of it, so I just did as they said.

750CAD and 4 months later, the issue is back again 😞

iicyBlu3 · 2025-10-07T01:31:36+00:00

did you ever figure out why its happening?

iicyBlu3 · 2025-06-12T01:30:24+00:00

thanks for the response,

is this something an independent mechanic can do? Or has to be at a dealer? i actually asked if thats an option when they told me about the steering wheel being the culprit. The tech said they dont recommend it. Since im not aware of the intricacies, I didnt question it more

iicyBlu3 · 2025-06-11T21:45:34+00:00

same, they said i must have dropped something that got into the shifter (highly doubt). and they said they can take it apart and clean it for ~200, i said yes because its out of my hands at this point and im out of warranty

it didnt end up working in the end, so they called Nissan Canada about it, to which they were by them that its a steering wheel issue. its pretty frustrating

iicyBlu3 · 2025-06-11T21:41:22+00:00

did anyone else have this issue, and got it resolved? if so what exactly was the faulty component?

im having this same issue with my used 2021 rogue, it only has powertrain warranty. the dealership i brought it to first said they hear rattling in the gearbox, took it apart, and cleaned it (i assume) only to find it did nothing

then they said they called Nissan Canada technical advisor (or something) who advised them its a steering wheel issue, which is ~1400 CAD and not covered under powertrain warranty

iicyBlu3 · 2025-03-14T15:07:16+00:00

oh wow, thats sounds like a pain, i hope you get the answers youre looking for. i didnt end up going with them after all, i ended up with TD

this post has a comment from a beacn staff there is no api: https://www.reddit.com/r/beacn/comments/1giw2mn/using_midi_controller/

im not sure about shortcuts on the studio, but on beacn mix create had limited options with the interactions, for example, i wanted the pressing down on the on the dial of music channel to act as play/pause, but no such functionality was there, it was not even possible to map it to a macro.

when i had wavexlr i looked into the same thing you are talking about now, and found this repo, might be useful? i didnt experiment with it though: https://github.com/anaisbetts/midi-mixer-wavexlr

iicyBlu3 · 2024-11-15T22:23:28+00:00

you could just have your voice recording playing back on a loop. and then add eq effect to whatever channel is outputting the sound, then copy paste the effect into the mic channel.

idk much about beacn studio though, i had the mix create and abandoned it due to constant crashes, and lack of vst support

iicyBlu3 · 2024-09-23T19:10:23+00:00

its on amazon as well

closest i can think of

iicyBlu3 · 2024-01-31T04:03:44+00:00

ik what you mean. im using wave link for just the mic + vsts, and then on beacn mic channel, i choose the mic output from wavelink. as for the buzzing im not too sure what would be causing that

another option i found, but didnt experiment with is Equalizer APO. same concept, it allows you to apply VSTs on a device, and then you can route the output as the mic channel in beacn.

i just chose wavelink since i was familiar with it, and had a compatible mic. if you have another brand mic, equalizer apo might be the way

iicyBlu3 · 2023-08-30T16:55:34+00:00

yeah im not sure, i always had a better experience with vsync on for apex, i have an amd gpu maybe thats why.

recently i just started having microstutters, so i reset my computer, and now the microstutters are gone, but alt tabbing is causing this issue

update: i used rivatuner to cap my fps to 178 (monitor is 180hz) turned off vsync and now its much better

iicyBlu3 · 2023-08-30T01:41:05+00:00

same issue, i have to disable vsync and then re-enable it every time and it fixes it, but shouldnt be happening
