Do you guys have any more experiences with it? My main question (for the m50, m200 series especially):

  • Can I just leave it „on“ all the time (with a dummy battery), and so does it shut off automatically, when it‘s not used as a webcam?
  • Question would then also be if it powers on automatically as soon as an app on my computer tries to access the cam
  • Basically I want it to act like a „regular“ webcam

Thanks!

I leave my m50 powered on with the AC / dummy battery setup. With the Eco setting, it shuts off if I don’t use it for a few minutes. To turn it back on, I push the shutter to wake it back up.
