computer.

Q. The video on my screen appears too light or too dark. What should I do?
A.
Proper room lighting is critical for the correct functioning of the USB Web Camera. Your camera
requires a certain light level to produce good pictures. If you are getting dull or dark images, or if the
color is poor, try increasing the ambient light in the room, or lighting the subject directly. Using the
camera in a sunlit room will also produce good results. If you cannot use your camera in a naturally
well-lit setting, then a desk lamp or some other artificial light source must be used.
You may also wish to adjust the Brightness or Contrast settings usually located in a Video Source (or
similarly named) settings window in the software you are using.
Maintenance Tips
Lens cleaning
If your lens becomes dirty, wipe lightly with a dry, lint-free cloth.
Outdoor Use
Your USB Web Camera is not designed for outdoor use and should not be exposed to the elements without
suitable protection. In general, you should not expose it to extreme temperatures or humidity.
