I found my parents camera and it looks exactly like this but it doesnt work. The lens doesn't extend fully and "lenz error" text appears, i tried everything i can without getting inside since i dont want to damage it further. Anyone have an idea what can be the cause of this problem?
Maybe the lens barrels are stuck? If it comes out a little bit while you switch it on, I would try pulling them out gently and helping them out, maybe that will help. There should be two segments if I remember correctly, and they stick out about 1" or 2cm when they're fully extended. Good luck!
Sadly not, that would have been a great selling point. The GoPro HERO 8 with the latest firmware can do that though. There's also Epoc Cam for iOS or Droidcam for Android, those will convert your mobile phone cameras into a web cam.
Yes I remember they had a proprietary USB cable on that camera. Chances of getting a replacement are very slim. I may still have mine, if I find it, would you like to have it? I no longer have this camera.
Audio is indeed terrible on that camera. Any lapel mic will do to record better quality audio (with an external device, like your phone). I have a couple of these and they're great value for the money: amzn.to/39PfL4C
