A Dual-Mode Digital Camera Windows driver is software that allows your computer to recognize and communicate with a digital camera that has both still-image capture and video recording capabilities (dual-mode functionality). The term "dual-mode" typically refers to cameras that can function both as a webcam (for video conferencing or live streaming) and as a traditional digital camera (for taking photos).

The driver serves as the interface between the camera and your operating system, enabling the computer to recognize the camera, transfer data (such as photos and videos), and control the camera's functions.
