It does.
It does.
Thanks! That was just the answer I needed.
For future reference, there is always the Q&A thread to ask minor questions like these. Though it is in the production forum, I do believe anything film related can be asked in there. 
What frame capture program are you using?

I use MonkeyJam
Yes, it has full manual settings. It even has manual white balance now. I really think it is a great animation camera. I use it.
Thanks everybody I got the C910 a few days ago and it is amazing!

I got one for Christmas!
I heard it only has 10% focus increments. Is this true?

Ya it is true. If you want smoother focus get the Quickcam Pro 9000

The camera quality is much better in my mind than the 9000 so for this reason I was happy to overlook the incremental focus

What good is quality if everything looks blurred?

It doesn't really blur, it's just that the zooming is not as smooth as the 9000..? If you need smooth zooming in you could always do it in post.

Focus != Zoom.
Unfocused picture.
That's strange as I've never experienced that issue. I do find it messes up my Gain and Exposure settings if I hit Zoom which is a hassle.
I heard it only has 10% focus increments. Is this true?
Only if you use the software that comes with it. I think if you use the business software, it has better focus control.
What is this business software you speak of?

Incorrect; it still focuses at 10% increments in whatever program you use (Trust me, we've tried other programs - still 10%).
Does it have manual focus for Mac?
