How can I disable the Skype camera from zooming in and out all the time? It's driving me crazy!!!

You have to disable the face recognizer. I think this will resolve your problem! Hope this hel!

Hello Chris, Try this - Get into Skype Settings > Video and then click on the Webcam settings. You should see an Advanced menu, select Disable Face Zoom. That should solve this.

I've only used it once. I experienced the same issue. Haven't checked it out yet.

Just disable the auto face tracking from the options. It will stop auto zooming in/out and also provide an option that allows you to set a specific zoom level if you want to.

That is extremely annoying, but there is a way to do it. If I remember right, there are settings in the skype program that disable it. I will double-check where they are tonight, but it can be done. It drove me nuts too.

I agree with Paula - I'm not sure exactly what you mean. Is it that you want to toggle between the view finder and the full screen view? To do that, there's a little button to the immediate right of the eye viewfinder that says "EVF/LCD", which you can push to go back and forth between the two. To turn off the camera (and the screen) completely, push the power button the top right of the camera.

Too my knowledge there isn't one. Computer has built in microphone and camera. Using Skype, the computer automatically defaults to the built in's.

You can only use a rear facing camera for Skype on the lepan... I know it sucks

You need to use auto focus if you don't want to manually focus in and out on close ups or long distance shots. It sounds like you zoomed to fast and it couldn't adjust fast enough or you have it set to some weird manual setting. This happened to me that's why I am trying to offer advice.

sorry Elaine but you can't zoom in or out. If you click on options video capture filter (c) Then camera control it's there but it wont let you use the funtion I don't know why it's a fix setting .

Sorry for the delay coz this was buried in my inbox. At any rate, that is not normal. The only time you will hear sound is when you are zooming in/out which is normal for camera with manual zoom. There shouldn't be any motorized sound or hissing whatever. I am pretty sure that camera has either a defective mic or faulty video function. HTH and hopefully not too late.

it's because the zoom on the video mode fails on this camera after awhile,at least it did on mine.i took prolly 10 videos at concerts and noticed i was able to zoom while recording.then all of the sudden it didn't work anymore.u have to zoom in to where u want it now and can't adjust the zoom once u push record.

Hello, I could not find how to set the auto zoom. Do you mean auto focus? thanks

I would think there is a "zoom" function or else it would be really really unuser-friendly

Are you talking about the two finger zoom by spreading your fingers apart on the touchpad to zoom out or pinching them together to zoom back in?If so, that's a feature in the Mouse Control Panel under the 'Device Settings' tab, called 'Pinch'. It can be disabled by de-selecting the check box in the Pinch settings subheading.I don't know of any other zoom feature.

Hi, I just bought the LifeCam VX-5000 and I have the same problem as Bonnie above. Could anyone tell me what version of windows and what version of skype they are using? I just want to get this to work. Thanks!

Hmmm...I mostly used it up close. I recall that people on the other end of a Skype call had trouble hearing if someone else in the room was talking, but farther away from the mic. That just might have been due to too many people trying to talk at once. That seems to make the conversation very confusing. I really like this little cam though. I have a built in now, so don't use it anymore.

Easiest way is to push the camera down which will turn the motion off. I only use the camera for Skype, however not on a regular basis. I don't miss the motion functionality at all.

http://www.learningdslrvideo.com/t2i-7d-disable-agc-rode-videomic/ Its not the mic ... its the camera. Either use the work around at the above link orhttp://www.learningdslrvideo.com/zoom-h4n-review/ you have to get a separate audio recorder and link it to the video in post. If you get frustrated, just remember the T2i is a PHOTO camera. Just appreciate that you are now shooting movie quality video for under a grand. At least that's what I tell myself to help me fall asleep at night. :)

I don't think you can turn off the voice. I only hear it when it starts recording. Twice, on and start. Then once when it stops. If you hear it every two minutes than something is wrong. Mine does not do that. Turn off motion sensor. Record at 740 not 1080. Good luck
