Where can I turn off autofocus for my Lifecam Cinema camera?

Hi Fred,

So, you had your settings set to Pro mode, and you opened the Camera app, and clicked on the icon in the upper, right corner that switches between front and back cameras, and it did not cycle through with a third option: i.e. switch to front, switch to back, and switch to Lifecam.

If this is correct, then you can try getting the Camera app to find your camera using the options on this Microsoft page.

Camera doesn't work in Windows 10 (microsoft.com)

Or you can try turning off the Autofocus in the Skype app, and see if that setting will save after you leave Skype and open Zoom.

To turn off autofocus in Skype:

1. Open Skype.
2. Click on the more icon (. . .) in the upper, right.
3. Click on Settings.
4. Click on Audio & Video.
5. In the upper, right corner, select your Lifecam camera from the drop-down. (If it's not there, then you're back to troubleshooting why your apps don't recognize your camera).
6. Click on 'Webcam settings' link in blue letters.
7. Click on the Camera Control tab.
8. Uncheck the 'Auto' box next to the Focus setting.

Hope this gets you there.
