connect camera to virtual machine VMware Workstation 14
I have a paid version of VMware Workstation 14.
I mostly use a few VM's running simultaneously.
I tried to create a VM for editing, including some editing SW (like Adobe's SW). Everything went smooth, until I tried to connect the camera (DSLR) to the VM in order to control it via the PC. But, then the connected camera didn't appear on the VM. It appears only in the host computer.
Is it possible?
If not, does Hyper-V will be more suitable for this (I prefer to find a solution based on VMware, due to it supports well of Linux distro)?
Host PC: Win 10 PRO
VM: Windows 10 PRO

Have you tried looking in the settings of the VM for the setting to connect/disconnect USB devices?
Example:
VM > Removable Devices > Device Name > Connect (Disconnect from host)
Additional information is available in the docs: https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-Workstation-Pro/14.0/com.vmware.ws.using.doc/GUID-E003456F-EB94-4B53-9082-293D9617CB5A.html

Yes, Sure. The camera is not showing (also other some devices) in the menu. But, it does show under Device Manager -> Action -> Devices and Printers
