    Check the manual - some cameras can be used as a webcam, most cannot.

    My Fujifilm digital camera will do that but I don't see it as very practical for extended webcam use due to battery drain on the camera.

    I believe my Handycam can be used as a webcam, so yours might also be able to.  However, we don't know the model number, so we can't give a definite answer.  But like soybean says, it's not really a practical solution.  I would suggest buying an actual webcam, which are pretty cheap these days.  You shouldn't have to pay more than $20, unless you want more features.
