logitech 9000- keeps going blurry
I have a 9000 and it keeps going blurry on me. I bought it off amazon in June so it's only 4 months old. If I move the wrong way it seems, it doesn't go back into focus until i put my hand in front of the camera and then it will focus. Of course its passed the time of return. (kicking self for not buying the 2 yr warranty) Has anyone had this happen and figured out how to fix it or do i have to eat the $140 I paid for it.
I use this along with a 920 while camming with 2 encoders. If this is something that happens with the 9000, I just may get something else.

Nope :( checked and double checked, even reset all the settings. I think I'm going to call logitech, I read they have a 2 year MFG warranty

Wait - you said no?
Autofocus should be turned off. It will mess up your feed bad. (At least it does mine).
I focus it manually until I appear very clear, and always leave Autofocus off.

Yep, me too. Auto focus off, face tracking off, (made me feel motion sick lol), untick white balance auto and do not use automatic right light settings. Thats how I get the best out my 9000

Click on your logitech 9000 webcam software. On the bottom of the window click "Webcam Controller" a little square opens that you can leave open the entire time you're broadcasting so you can change your lighting or color if you ever need to. Click on the "auto focus" square to uncheck it. You can move the slider if you are blurry. Mine usually wants to be all the way to the left.

Just to add that turning off the autofocus improved my stream immensely and my stats on SM. I was nervous I'd look out of focus when I move around but it doesn't happen!
Re: logitech 9000- keeps going blurry
Thank you guys, I have always, on both cams, done the auto focus, The problem with leaving the control window open, is that i have one on SM one ON KL.. and it will only let me control the 920c with it, even when I change the setting so that is going to the 9000.. Logitech support said it will only work with the 920.. I don't use splitting software, just have 2 cams
Logitech is gong to replace it anyway :) 2 yr warranty I will do the manual focus see how that works
Okay corrected to say, this is the FIRST time ever... it let me change the 9000 when i had the 920 plugged in too!! wow! not sure what happened, I have been trying to do that since june!!
