The latter quote tells me that he has a Mac, which makes your suggestion impossible to carry out, should he wish to try and use the webcam and iStopmotion.[/quote]

i also do have a PC, which is a scratch build, and my main computer.... But, is why i do not use it is cuz of my desk space around it.... there is 3 computers in my office, so no real rooom for the lights, and sets and stuff, hence why i use my mac...

And so, ya, i am kinda at a lose becuase of the whole focusing thing.... any other idears?]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[well, i doubt it has to do with the set being to close, as i did a few tests last night, and my camera seems to be totally anti-lego =(
is what i mean by this is i take a mini-fig, try to get him in focus for 5 minutes, can't, but the i try to focus on the gum wrapper about 4 inchs away (same distance from camera) and it focus on first try, and over and over again... did i few more tests like that, all the same... i even tried diffrent color mini-figs and everything.... 
=('
anymore ideas?]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[For starters you should read the manual. But what I'm thinking that's happening to you right now is that your set/minifig is too close to the camera. The camera won't focus that close to an object. Either buy a lens, or move the set far away, then do all of your animation, and zoom in during post production (which is what I do). Hope this helps.

Ok so, i got a Nikon Coolpix S3000 for Christmas present becuase it is basicalyl the equivelent to the Cannon power shot SD1400, but the Nikon works with Istopmotion live view...
anywayz...
i was trying to animate with it for the first time today, and it would not go into focus! i tried for about an hour and a half, (1:30) and i could not figure out how/why it would not focus!
i turned on macro focus (usual for me to have it on), it didn't work, so i turned it off, still would'nt work, then i went through everything in the camera that had "focus" in it, and tried all the diffrent combos of them, but i could not get it to focus!

any help? i really really need it... this is my second camera that has failed with stop motion.... =(]]></content>
