    1. I have Microsoft LifeCam Studio 1080p and this very problem with over exposure (almost everything white.)
      This app solved the problem being able to adjust both exposure (light) and autofocus.

      Awesome!!

  7. I am happy with the Microsoft LifeCam Cinema. While performing tests I had found that while we GREATLY lean toward the 16:9 widescreen encounter, that the distinction in genuine clearness between 4:3 800x600 and 16:9 1280x720 was insignificant, however the slack among sound and video for the genuine HD goals was something like a half second.

  8. Hi, I've had a Microsoft Lifecam Studio working perfectly (once) with Webcam settings. Since restarting I had to change USB ports. Now it's not working at all. The blue light on the camera turns on, and all apps (Skype, Chrome e.t.c) show the camera as being connected and there's audio - but no video signal. The Webcam Settings app is running on startup. Have tried quiting / restarting but makes no difference.

    Any ideas?
