Your YouTube live stream will now start. During live streaming, the PowerShot V10 LCD monitor will be surrounded by a red frame.
Also, since the URL of the live distribution is displayed on the Camera Connect screen, you can gather viewers by spreading this URL on message apps and SNS.
Below is how I actually entered the URL in the browser and watched the live distribution.
The above live distribution was taken with the PowerShot V10 and smartphone placed on the desk as shown below. The PowerShot V10 is equipped with a lens with a focal length of about 19mm (35mm format equivalent), so you can keep multiple people in the angle of view at the same time even in a narrow space where you can't keep the distance between the subject and the camera. Also, since it has a stepless movable stand, you can fix the camera at your preferred angle without using a tripod.
However, in the environment where I tried live distribution this time, the screen was covered with noise when the PowerShot V10 was placed 5m away from the router. PowerShot V10 has not yet been released, so there is a possibility that it will be improved by the time it is released, but when live streaming with PowerShot V10, it is safe to install it near the router.
In addition, PowerShot V10 is sold at Amazon.co.jp at 54,500 yen including tax at the time of article creation.
