Can I use a DSLR camera with SwiftCapture?
Yes, provided it has an HDMI output, which you can connect to your Mac using any of the HDMI capture devices listed above. However note that older models of DSLR cameras tended to place text overlays on top of their video output (containing information about aperture, shutter speed etc.), so you will need to find out if this is the case for your camera, or if it produces a "clean" HDMI stream with no text. The cameras listed here all output a clean live HDMI stream:
