Hi,

 From what I can see, your device does not support Webcam mode, only PTP 
(picture bridge still image).

Maybe there is a firmware upgrade for your device adding this support.

The recommended way to get HD cameras working is bying a CAM LINK 
device, which takes HDMI and transform it into a USB3.0 webcam.
