    Digital camera as a web camera

    How can I use my 7.0 MP digital camera as a web camera?

    Which software can I use to enable it on Yahoo or MSN messenger?

    Can you connect it to the TV? in that case you can, with the proper wires n so, connect it to the s-video (if you have one) of your computer.

    What kind of port is it? Do you have an S-video or an composite port on your computer?

    10 Meters radious = ~314 Meters Square, I'd say that's a fair amount...
