Tip: The Camera app lets you use your webcam’s most popular features quickly and easily. If you
want to take advantage of the enhanced features your webcam offers, such as motion detection,
use the Logitech Webcam Software available from logitech.com/downloads.
Adjusting your Camera settings
The Logitech software optimizes the settings for your environment automatically. To adjust any of
your settings choose Camera options. This is available from the Camera app (see the previous
page) and from within Metro apps that support webcams.

video capture when in Video Mode.

sound in your videos, if you have more than one
available.
