Although it is quite all right compared to other webcams, the image lacks sharpness around the edges and this is very visible and annoying on outdoor pictures. Q: How can we manually control focus in Linux?Ī: Yes, guvcview can control focus and also has autofocus functionalityĪccording to the specs the camera has a Zeiss lens. Gst-launch v4l2src ! video/x-raw-yuv,format=\(fourcc\)NV12,width=640,height=480,framerate=10/1 ! xvimagesinkĪutofocus is built into the wintendo drives, thus does not work in Linux. Gst-launch v4l2src ! video/x-raw-yuv,format=\(fourcc\)YUY2,width=640,height=480,framerate=10/1 ! xvimagesink The NV12 format doesn't seem to work with the QuickCam Pro 9000, at least not in gstreamer, but YV12 does.

I'm not quite sure about all these pixel formats and how they map to fourcc names.Īccording to the UVC specs : The USB Video Class supports one packed 4:2:2 YUV format (YUY2) and one planar 4:2:0 YUV format (NV12). When starting guvcview it dumps the supported pixel formats together with the resolutions and frame rates that can be used for each format (see also Pixel formats): Other apps are listed on the QuickCam Teams website and Unicap. However, when using a third party capture application, size seems to be stuck at 320x240 pixels.Ĭamera seems to work but stuck on 320x240 and no way to control settings.
