    Just curious.. I have been told that I can hook my Digital 8 up to my television and use it as a monitor while recording.. HOW?
    Also how can I use my camera as a webcam?

    Most consumer cameras have an AV Out port to hook up to monitors and devices using RCA connectors (the yellow, white, blue plugs). These can hook up to most newer TVs or VCRs. You should be able to watch what your camera sees on your TV.

    As far as a webcam is concerned, this is usually done through a USB connection. There's probably a setting within the camera to activate the webcam function, so you'll need to consult a manual. Just be aware not all cameras have this feature.
