It sounds dumb but technology and i dont really mix well, so is there a way to zoom in and out because the webcam is extremely close to my face...

this thing isn't that sophisticated - I also find the bright lights very annoying. I actually only used it a couple of times and then gave up on this camera.

Nope- its a horrible camera. I had the same problem. The only way to zoom is move the camera itself.

No, there is not a way to zoom in or out. I ended up taping mine to the wall.

That is so helpful!! I have been trying to figure that out for a while for skype and stuff because my friends cant see me when i get online. I have a flip camera and i was trying to see if you could use it as a webcam! THANKS!!!

Supposedly it can be a webcam and it is one of the reasons I purchased it. However, I returned it in a week or so. It's a horrid little camera. It was difficult for me to operate and many of the features were less than useless. Personally, if I were you I'd look for something else.

Never wanted to do that but I found a pretty good web link that tells you how to it.http://www.logitech.com/en-us/support/webcam-c160?osid=14&bit;=32Good luck with it.

how do you switch modes of recording? on the camera or from the computer? and which is best for slow mo (if possible)?

That is difficult. I have not used mine too much yet. Try moving the camera. The depth of field is very small when using these. Practice will work for both of us.

You should have received a CD with the webcam that has software called "Live! Central". Install that if you haven't already. You can check out the what the video looks like with that software. In other words, what others will see/what you will look like to others. It also has some other features which allow you to manipulate the video in different ways. I'm a bit unclear on exactly what you're asking. So, if this doesn't answer your question let me know.

Yes you can. If it is silent(what you are filming), you can slightly hear the lens zooming in and out. I just tried it at work!

Hi again. Just tried mine out while recording a video and zooming in and out just as you asked, and it's silent. Sorry -- it does seem that you've got a lemon.

Yes, you can use it the same way you would any webcam. It's essentially just a webcam on a pivoting arm.

Hello Chris, Try this - Get into Skype Settings > Video and then click on the Webcam settings. You should see an Advanced menu, select Disable Face Zoom. That should solve this.

Did you try zooming in? Cause that's really all you can do. These cameras are not the top of the line I am going to add one that can do what your asking but it's about 300.00 ouch

sorry im not sure on that, and i know contour is not much help probably either. ButRageCams offers lens changes for that camera to eliminate the fish eye and have more zoom or night vision

There are several options in the video output stream to let you see the video on a very slow connection. You can adjust the frames per second and the video dimensions. Making fps and the dimensions smaller do the trick. The higher the fps and dimensions, the better the quality. I've accessed these webcams on dial up (19.2kbps) and been able to see the output, but you pay the price in that it is choppy and small.

Yes! you can manually zoom in, and it also zooms in automatically as it follows you. You can hid from it. lol

No you cannot do that. The slowest speed is like a slow live panoramic . Nice and smooth but too fast for time lapse. It's a good panner but not great. It is the only one worth a damn for under 1000 that I have seen.
