No live preview when changing webcam settings.

LeRob66

Hello,

I'm using a Lifecam Cinema webcam with Debut and every time I try to adjust its settings (focus, brightness etc) the main preview is paused. Is there a way to change these settings while being able to see "live" what I'm changing? I feel like this should be the normal procedure, unless I'm overlooking something.

Picture 1: A test to focus on a toy.

Picture 2: Debut telling me the preview will be paused.

Picture 3: No way to see what I'm changing.

Thanks

Hello LeRob66,

First of all, cool action figure, it looks vintage. Is it collectible? The helmet doesn't show the Rebellion symbol, that caught my eye.

Anyway, as your second screenshot states "While adjusting these settings, the main preview will be paused. Do you still want to change device settings?"

Debut is designed to pause the preview while adjusting the camera settings and cannot be changed.

If you would like to suggest to the developers that users should be able to watch during the preview the settings change without pause, do so here: http://www.nch.com.au/suggestions/

Thanks.

Yo. Made an account, just to help you 😉

Open Debut, Go to device Settings, Preview will stop
Open Default WIN10 Camera App (It will render, since Debut stoppped using the webcam at the moment)
Snap both windows next to each other
Profit.
