Updating Webcam Autoexposure and Autofocus
The exposure and focus are automatically determined by most webcams. The mechanisms that calculate them are named respectively: autoexposure and autofocus.
Autoexposure is an automatic camera mechanism that determines the shutter speed and the diaphragm depending on the light conditions.
Autofocus is an automatic camera mechanism that determines the focal length to shoot the most sharp picture.
If failures occurs in determining focus or exposure, the mechanism of automatic setting of the webcam parameters may be restarted. Under inPhoto ID Webcam, this mechanism is launched by the Update AE/AF command. The Update AE/AF command is located in the Camera main menu. Also by default, the command is placed in the side menu.
