Please?
Have you tried looking in the manual?
Im assuming you are using a PC.
The QC9000 has a maximum resolution of 1600x1200. If you are on widescreen this may be reduced to 1600x900 by the software. This is the resolution of the CCD chip. The 8 megapixel resolution in the supplied software just uses pixel interpolation so is actually cheating (a bit like resampling in a paint package). The resolution can be set in most software using a drop down menu from the settings options.
If in the drop down list you are not offered 1600x1200 but something less, you have either
1) connected the camera and then installed the software. It is vital that you install the software before attaching the camera. Uninstall the software and driver, disconnect the camera and reboot. Now install the software and attach the camera when prompted to do so.
2) You just plugged the camera in and forgot to install the driver / software. Follow 1 above.
Film at this resolution, only after editing and adding soundtrack, resample your animation down to the format / resolution you want. Use virtualdub or mediacoder to do this. This way you get the very best quality.
This should be in software and hardware.
If you need HD your best option would be to buy a camera made for HD... Remember that when it comes down to it the 9k is meant to be a webcam, not a high def camera/animation tool.
It only takes pictures in HD in the software it comes with.
