Focus is not working

[Helderjfl]

For me, this app works for everything, except for focus. It does change to manual, but the value is not actually setted. I don't know if its something with the webcam or the app.

Hi Helderjfl - I have the Logitech WebCam C922 and mine successfully saves all of the above settings and reapplies them on execution.

@Helderjfl unfortunately, I don't have an example of this hardware, so cannot say what may gonna wrong. Maybe camera is too smart and this part (focus) somehow controlled through the driver. Then this out of scope for this application. Sorry. You need to look for other util.

[Helderjfl]

Yeah, I don't know exactly what it is. Every other setting is applied. I tried Logitech Camera Settings, which seems to be the only Logitech Software that supports it, and when I open it the focus is applied, even though cfg-cam defined the value.

Same problem here. Except I have Canyon CNS-CWC5 so i can't use logitech software.

It also turns auto focus off but doesn't really apply number and just leaves 0.

Anyway thanks for this tool. Still better than nothing)

PS Funny thing is if I manually start this tool again it applies correct focus.

I had the same issue with focus at first but then with another focus setting it suddenly worked.

Even in the DirectShow dialog it doesnt save properly. I can move the slider to 27 focus and save it but when I open the dialog again its back the the former focus setting. It seems that it can only save increments of 5, i.e. 0, 5, 10, 15 etc and it simply ignores every other number.

edit: and kudos to SuslikV for providing this nice little tool!
