I have the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LS70 digital camera and it will not take pictures. It has everything else working just fine...it will turn on and off, you can view the pics, the menu works fine, and changing the settings works. I changed the batteries to see if that worked and took the SD card in and out. It will go to the screen and let you view to take the picture and then when you push the button it acts like it tries but won't take it. Thanks!
U have a sick puppy there. May not be cost effective to repair.

Hello,
It will not work through USB like a standard webcam. Ls-70 only lets you access camera memory card/onboard memory when connected via USB.
However you
could connect the camera video-out socket to a PC with graphics card
with video capture function. Some cards with video capture work with
skype (check this URL:

There are also various software solutions which can fool your webchat client into thinking that video capture stream is actually an output of a usb webcam. (Try google for "video capture into skype".
At the moment this seems to be the only easy way to use LS-70 as webcam.
Good luck,
Raf
