    Hello, everyone! Please note that the Nikon D3300 has a maximum live view of 30 minutes, after that it will go on sleep mode and you would have to press any buttons to bring it back. Thank you for all the comments!

      Hi, Sam Sterling. Good question. If you have the D3300, continue pressing the Info button until you get a clean screen. You may still get some info at the very bottom but it won’t be on the frame. I hope it helps. Thanks for watching the video. All the best.

      If your battery is fully charged and holds the charge, I would say, No. You don’t need a dummy battery, however, I would buy one as a backup. I did a video on testing a dummy battery a while back. You can check it out. Thanks for the question. All the best with your setup!

    Hello Mam, nice information you provided for Nikon D3300. I am having same camera and want to start live streaming. Couple of things I want to know , 1) to run capture card, need graphic card in computer? 2) for 2 hours live stream, what about the battery, can battery run for 2 hours, if not than what is the solution. Thank you

    • @myVersatileChannel
      @myVersatileChannel  3 роки тому +2

      Hello, bhavesh bhatt. Great questions! I will answer to the best of my knowledge. 1) If by “graphic card in computer” you mean a PCI (e) graphics card that you install, then, No. It can work with the built-in graphics card that that computer came with. 2) The Nikon D3300 has a live view time limit of 30 minutes. After that, it will shut off. There are hacks out there on UA-cam on how to extend the time limit but I haven’t tried them. As far as the battery goes, I would suggest an external AC battery adapter that you plug in to the electrical outlet while streaming. There are videos on UA-cam on how to do it. I hope I answered your questions. Thank you for watching!

If you are planning on using your DSLR camera for live-streaming, I would recommend researching the topic first and see if there are any suggestions suitable for your specific need.

    Sorry Ma'am .. but its not a good idea. because after 30 minute ur dslr (Nikon d3300) will automatically disconnect from ur obs,,, Your dslr having only maximum 30 minute screen stand by mode... So if u r streaming Live then after 30 minute camera will disconnect from obs automatically.... if again u will restart the camera then it will work for 5 to 10 minute because after 30 minutes usage camera will be heated, then u will be no longer to use the dslr... these dslr's are good for only 20-25 minute
