Topic: The curse of bad lighting.

This has been my biggest problem for a long time. I recently got the Logitech webcam pro 9000, and downloaded Monkey Jam to go along with it. I like how you can adjust the lighting, focus and zoom at the camera settings panel, but I have a hard time getting the right light settings. Even worse, I have to reset it every time I use it! because of this, not only is my lighting bad, but in every shot it changes! here's an example of a video I made that suffered from this problem:

So if any body here understands my problem (I am having a hard time explaining it) then please share suggestions.

What would really come in handy is if somebody who use the same webcam as I could give me a picture of the settings they use.

Thank you.

Do you think you could post a picture of your desk/lamp setup? The problem might be with your lights.

Sure, here's a picture of my set up currently. Its not very good, but I already had it uploaded:

I use two florescent lights with paper taped to them, and that's about it.

I have a Logitech HD Pro Webcam C920 and I have the same problem. Many times, I accidentally close the camera window for Monkey Jam and it resets the settings. I don't know how to fix it, but it's nice to know that somebody else has the same problem as me.
