Hi there.
I have MSI StarCam Clip II and I would like to know if there is anybody here who has experience with disabling it's AutoExposure. I spend a day setting it up properly to get the best FPS, but the results are not really what I would like to have. I have the latest drivers installed along with it's configuration GUI. It has an option to turn off autoexposure and set a custom value, but it seems like whenever the illumination of the room reaches a certain value, the cam starts to use the autoexposure again disregarding the custom value.
I did a temporary workaround like this:
- The camera is placed on top of my monitor.
- There is a lamp above/behind me out of the FOV of the cam, and another lamp behind the cam positioned to face a wall and use the reflected light to illuminate my face.
1. I turn of the lamp behind the cam.
2. Launch Freetrack and let it initialize (the cam initializes with autoexposure 5-10 FPS).
3. Set the custom value for the exposure.
4. Turn the lamp back on.
5. The cam stays at ~28 FPS without the autoexposure to kick in.
One of the problems is this does not work in daylight unless I make the room dark enough and use those lamps instead. I found a lot of solutions for linux users on google, but barely any word about windows.
EDIT:
Side question: FaceTrack constantly shows that it takes 0% CPU and 0 MB RAM, is this possible and/or normal?
