How do you turn off autofocus when using Skype, (or forever) ?

Under settings in the Microsoft Life Cam program uncheck the box next to TrueColor and a "properties" tab will appear. You can uncheck the box at the end of the focus setting. Hope this helps

Hi Elizabeth.... One of the things I like most about this camera is that it is very easy to change settings. For me, the menus are very intuitive and that would include the menu for turning off the focus beep. When you go into the settings menu, go to "D" and scroll to the last screen of D and you will find the sound on focusing setting. Set to "off" and you are good to go.

Returned for refund,auto-focus CANNOT be turned off,that destroys the products usability completely !Micro$haft, you suck...Mystyx, they limit this product to 3-Gb of memory,many others have posted it clears up whena stick of memory was removed temporarily...

I don't use Skype, so I don't know, but I'd go to manage apps and click on Skype and hit clear data then try it againIt should work

You've probably figured this out by now, but in case anyone is browsing this forum later on and still wants the answer, I thought I'd post. I use old manual focus Nikon lenses on this camera all the time. There is no auto focus, but they work perfectly fine in manual mode. I have a 10 dollar wireless remote I bought off of Amazon that works great for long shutter exposures.

Hi, you can do both. When in auto, its only an auto/off mode, whereas in P mode, you can also set it to "always on" and "slow synchro". Slow synchro "keeps subjects and distant backgrounds brights".

Sorry I just saw the incoming email. Let me understand first. Are you saying that there is no way to do an "autof" on your camera with the lens? Try half way press the shutter see if the focus can be achieved.

Default is for Steady Shot to be on. Go to Still Image menu 2 and you will see Steady Shot and just turn it off as you would if camera were on a tripod.

I would either put it in Macro Mode or Manual or choose the A, manually focus until the subject looks clear, I have a NX1000 and it may be the same way.

My Logitech and Skype work fine--individually! I can't get them to mesh. Any ideas?

There must be a way since it's always been across the top of my screen. Now I'm curious to see if I can turn it off.

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.

Yes, but I would recommend not running other programs while skype is running.

Autofocus is awful with this adapter; most likely on paper but not in practice except under ideal conditions (high contrast, still subject)

To turn off the digital zoom, press the MENU button, choose the picture of the "CAMERA" tab, and choose [Digital Zoom] and the [Off] option. You have to use the the buttons on the wheel lightning or macro side to scroll through the options.

I've been using the camera for about 3 months or so and was hesitant about using the auto focus/auto exposure because my last Canon video camera not only made noise, but it continuously unfocused and refocused throughout recording. I switched to all auto mode just to "see" how bad it was and haven't gone back since. I use Premiere Pro editing software and the audio is clean (we run a small soundboard and there's a tiny bit of hiss from there that the denoiser filter removes completely). But we hear no camera noises at all.

Answer is " Yes " you can uncheck that feature. In Logitech web -cam soft ware.
