Logitech QuickCam blur!

cormie

Hi,
I recently installed my QuickCam on my laptop. It was working fine but now the picture I get is quite blurry (see attached image) and I can't seem to get it back to the way it should be. I have tried different picture settings but nothing seems to work.

Any ideas?
Thanks!

Simple question, but are you sure it's not condensation or something like that?
I can't really think of a digial reason for the blur to be honest.

re install or try it on a different system maybe, i had a similar problem but it turned out that the focus could actually be altered by rotating the lens

I think it's just the lens.. lol

Great!!! I started twisting the lens and it got back the way it was...

Come to think of now, I do remember twisitng the little rubbery bit at the lens one day, you wouldn't think it would do anything with focus, I thought it was just to make the camera look good :rolleyes:

lol?

yeah.. lol.. cos usually if the image is out of focus, the first thing you'd try would be to sharpen it with the lens... :rolleyes: ...

To be honest, I didn't either, but I guess it's been introduced mainly due to the fact that a lot of webcams nowadays are being used to take static photos, rather than just recording video. I guess it's just another step in the "higher-resolution" generation...
