Picture is all blurry it so i can be seen clearly

Hello,

The blurring problem might be due to out of focussing. The outer rim of your webcam is rotatable and can be used to set the focus of webcam.

You should turn on the webcam and rotate the outer rim surrounding the lens until you get a focused and sharp image.

Hope this helped. Please rate this solution.

Thank you for using Fixya

I have installed the webcam and my image is blurry

Adjust the Focus: The Logitech Webcam C200 has a manual focus. It may need to be adjusted upon initial use, and from time to time, as bumping and moving the webcam may accidentally knock it out of focus.

1. Locate the knob that surrounds the camera lens (shown below).

2. Twist the knob clockwise or counterclockwise until the camera comes into focus.
Improve the image Quality:
To improve the image quality or avoid any type of blurriness from your camera please verify that the following:

You have good lighting in the area or room where you are using your C200.
Your computer has at least an Intel Pentium 4 (2.4 Ghz) processor and a minimum of 256MB RAM.

What would cause the image on a vx3000 to be blurry on either side of connection.im on xp,cable and other is on vista,satalite

Hi,
if your webcam’s image is not sharp, check to see if it has a focus ring. A blurry image can sometimes simply mean the webcam is not in focus. Adjusting the focus through the ring can solve that problem.
If it Doesnt work try to change video capture properties for webcam.Most of the programs have an option to access the properties of the video source which will bring up the video capture properties window. (Msn, Yahoo Etc.)

Its blurry

You may have a focus ring around the lens - if so start the webcam and try to find the optimum setting.
Otherwise you will have to uninstall the software and reinstall it again from the manufacturers support website
