Installed perfectly, but all I see is a terrible blurry image :( Lifecam HD-5000 720p HD webcam: Anyone else?

Turn off TRU-COLOR. then you get a settings tab there you can turn off the annoying and useless autofocus and mess with other settings as well.

i could not get it to work on my linux system. also, it is internet explorer specific when it somes to the setup. everytime i would try to get the associated plugins i would get a 404. i sent the cam back

yes, i had this problem. i noticed that the playback looked fine on the camera, but when i transferred to my computer, it was jerky. turns out the problem was the kind of application I was using to view it. I found the free GOM player, and this solved the problem nicely.

Not sure how that would help. It is not an issue of video quality. The problem is the zoom function stopped working. The zoom did work for two days, then quit working.

Actually, Matthew Swalwell is right! I tried setting it to standard and things look drastically better! Even when I set the output on my cable box to 720p :)So far my vote for the fix to this problem is setting film stabilization to standard, if you turn it off, the the 240 setting goes off too and I think it looks better with 240 on and FS at standard.

I bought one, never worked in 1080p, 720p. Also had several dead green pixles so I returned it and the second one was worse. Consider another one.

No, I found the video to be awful. We tested in various lighting conditions and with different settings, and it was always grainy and jerky.

I had the same problem. The photos were blurry and discolored. I did not send it back as I should have. It was no better than the one I replaced it with. I could get no assistance from HP

We have had many dissapointing 'fuzzy' pics as well. Especially indoors with the flash. Please see my review here (if they print it)! Essentially, our old 2 megapixel 'FujiFilm' cam puts the Olympus pics to shame. Maybe we got a defective unit?

I have had no problems with picture quality. I would suggest rechecking all of the connections, but I am sure you did that already. Sorry; I am the original electronic idiot!

Hi,I don't have advice- but have the same problem! I'm frustrated that I purchased this camera and now can probably not return it!!! Good luck!! let me know if you find any tricks to get better pictures.

Dear C. B. Huynh, I have the same error. According to this forum here: http://forum.videohelp.com/topic335194.html this is standard since the max resolution is 720 x something. Hope this helps, Thomas

I've been using mine for 5 days now, and got about 5.5 hrs till the CARD FULL message popped up recording in 1080p. I'm still learning, instructions are vague at best. I switched over to the 5 min loop. If I read it right, it should now just keep recording over the older footage. So far, it's a really cool cam............

I am having the same problem...in fact, I just went back and reread some of the reviews, because I can't believe I am the only one who is experiencing this. Everyone raves about this camera! I, too, would like to know what I am doing wrong.

I'm having this issue, too. Camera seems to get confused and the whole frame becomes blurry rather than focusing on the one object. It takes several attempts to register what I'm trying to do, and then it's too late - opportunity has passed and subject has moved. Time to really study my manual I guess or maybe this is a shortcoming with this camera.

Have you tried any older systems to see if they look okay/have lag?Anyway, thanks for the info! I may have to go for this, although I'm a bit nervous not being able to return it if there are dead pixels or whatever.
