Explanation |
Follow my face |
Check this box if you want your webcam to automatically track your face when making a video call. Your webcam then pans and tilts automatically as you move your head, keeping your face in the center of the video frame so you can move about freely without having to manually pan or tilt.
If the Logitech Webcam Software detects multiple faces, it tracks all of them.
|
RightLight |
RightLight automatically adjusts your webcam’s image settings to provide the best image quality in all lighting environments. It does this by adjusting the frame rate and exposure if required, to compensate for poor light.
We recommend checking this box to enable RightLight, because it will only adjust the frame rate and exposure if poor light makes this necessary. If it isn’t needed, no frame rate or exposure adjustments are made.
Tip
· | If you enable RightLight box in a low-light environment, the reduced frame rate may result in choppy video. If this happens, we recommend leaving the RightLight box checked and increasing the light available from the back and side. RightLight will then automatically increase the frame rate, improving the fluidity and quality of your video.
|
If it is not possible to increase the light available, try unchecking this box to disable RightLight and see if that resolves the issue.
|
Auto-focus, ,
|
Check Auto-focus to automatically focus on objects in the foreground, resulting in sharp images, especially in close-ups.
Alternatively, uncheck Auto-focus to set the focus manually using the slider.
Slide toward the to focus on small objects near the webcam, or toward the to focus on the bigger picture.
Notes
· | We recommend the use of Auto-focus for sharper images, no matter how far away the object is.
|
· | When specifying a manual focus setting, an extreme setting (slider all the way to the left or right) can result in blurry images.
|
· | Not all Logitech webcams support auto-focus.
