By default the image is bit too software enhanced (they call it 'sharpness'), but this 'sharpness' level can be set to a lower level via fswebcam tool. Autoexposure works well both indoors and outdoors. Helps to append nodrop=1 and timeout=5000 to uvcvideo module.
Has some stabilitiy issues if powered from RasPi (Drops USB +eth0 every 8 or so hours). Works at 1280x720 taking stills in fswebcam with some errors using MJPEG, unusable with YUYV. Also works outside after some manual adjustment of exposure.Ģ Mpixel camera with manual focus works with fswebcam and v4l4j on Raspbian Wheezy armhf problems with 1600x1200 resolution in some apps (timeouts - probably too slow USB) 1280x1024 and lower resolutions works OK Tested with guvcview and also with mjpg-streamer.
When using outdoors, image is completely overexposed. Has auto exposure, but seems to be optimized for indoor use. Lacks autofocus (manual focus ring works fine).
