Topic: LQCP9000 (Mac) Auto-Sharpness Problem

My dad has a Logitech QuickCam Pro 9000 Mac version that he is willing to let me use. I started to use it for "Small World" but it had this weird auto-sharpness........thing that kept it flickering in and out of focus. mini/madhead  I gave it a break for a while and rediscovered my need for better quality. Then I realized a lot of people get amazing quality from these, with no sharpness hiccups. mini/confused  I need help to turn the stupid thing off. Pics of settings coming later tonight, but I'd appreciate it if you could help now. Thanks! mini/smile

Re: LQCP9000 (Mac) Auto-Sharpness Problem

This is an issue that has often been discussed. Basically, the mac version of the QCP9K does not support manual controls, such as focus making it useless for brickfilming. If you want to use a QCP9K get the PC one (and use it with a PC of course).

I don't have a P.C, and buying one is completely out of the question. Is the P.C version possibly compatible with Macs?

Nope, unless you Bootcamp it, but even then I'm not sure if it will work.

Linux, you can get that for free on your Mac. The hardware on the Vision Pro is the same as the Webcam Pro and Quickcam Pro 9000 HD (I think). There was originally no way of this working, however some people created a controller for it. This controller should give you 100% control. So yes, you would get Manuel Focus and White balance. The mac version is surprisingly recommended for non-windows OS'

Would iStopmotion work?
