USAGE RECOMMENDATIONS
Three important elements lead to getting the best picture quality from
Facecam:
Lighting
Ensure that proper lighting is used to illuminate your face from the side
or front, and that you’re in the center of the frame.
Distance
Optimized for desktop setups, Facecam features a fixed focus lens which
eliminates common auto focus issues and keeps you in perfect focus within a
range of 30 – 120 cm / 12 – 47 in from the camera.
Framing
A combination of Facecam placement, angle, and framing can make all the
difference.
CAMERA HUB SOFTWARE
Camera Hub is custom designed to give you precise control of Facecam settings
such as exposure compensation, white balance, and shutter speed. Just like a
DSLR. For the first time in a webcam, Facecam can provide the ISO readout from
the sensor. With this critical information, you have the feedback to increase
the brightness of studio lighting if the ISO is too high.
To get the best possible image quality for Facecam, make sure you keep an eye on these settings:
Compensation
When using Facecam in a well-lit environment or with lights such as Elgato Key
Light Air the compensation setting can be lowered. This will reduce film grain
and increase the quality of Facecam video.
Noise reduction
The noise reduction setting can help remove film grain when lighting conditions are not ideal. When in good lighting conditions, turn noise reduction off for a sharper image.
Zoom
For better framing, the zoom function can be used. Note that the zoom is
digital, meaning image quality will degrade as more zoom is applied. We
recommend proper positioning of Facecam and using as little zoom as possible.
BETTER TOGETHER
Stream Deck gives you instant, tactile control of Facecam settings. Zoom
dramatically, change brightness for various lighting conditions, and more —
with a tap of a key.
Instantly boost your production value by mounting Facecam almost anywhere with
Multi Mount.
