yep Malcolm I have a bit of control.
I can leave it on Auto or uncheck and then have control over
Gain and Exposure etc
However, as I said, in 1280x1204 it seems to have a mind of it's own
once capture starts.
A webcam friend of mine, Jan, reports similar sounding behaviour with
a 1280x1204 Trust WB5400 webcam.
from his site:
But: after tweaking the camera controls you are in for another shock: when you start the AVI the camera controls go haywire and the driver jumps into some kind of 'AUTO' mode, resulting in heavily overexposed frames.
After about 10-15 seconds the camera more or less 'remembers' the settings you had selected and then all is rather OK again. But: the first 30 frames of your AVI cannot be used, alas. But even after reaching a more or less stable situation the camera still shows a will of its own ...
Because of this strange behaviour the camera cannot be used for mosaics, as the frames differ far too much for a seamless stitching.
This is exactly what this one does. But only in 1280x1204 native resolution.
It could be I have the FPS set too high, my USB2.0 bandwidth is being
compromised...dunno. I also get many dropped frames as Jan reports
as well.
One thing I haven't tried is Martin Burri's WcCtrl yet.
That could fix things.
