A webcam is first and foremost a camera that
uses a lens to gather light reflected by an object. There are a number of
reasons why the image captured by the webcam can be blurry, all of which can be
remedied.
Supplies from a photography store or hobby shop,
along with items that most people already have in their homes, are needed.
The webcam does not need to be disassembled in
any way in order to obtain a sharp and clear image.
Launch the webcam's video program by selecting it from the "Start,"
and the "All Applications" menu.
Aim the webcam towards you so that you can see
the blurry image presented in the program's video window.
Rotate the knurled focus ring that surrounds the
lens at the front of the webcam until the image is sharp; if there is no focus
ring, position the webcam closer or farther from you until the video image is
sharp.
Blow off the lens at the front of the webcam
with compressed air.
Moisten the end of a cotton swab in photo lens
cleaning solution.
Wipe the lens with the moistened end of the
swab, beginning at the center and rotating in a circle until you reach the
outer edge.
Wipe the lens dry with a lens tissue in the same
manner as was just done, to remove the contaminants that caused the blurry
image.
Launch the webcam video program that is on the
hard drive.
Select the "Advanced" or
"Options" tab at the top of the program's main window -- depending on
how the program is set up to bring up a settings window.
Reset the "Sharpness" control to 65
percent of the total possible, using a slider control or entering
"65" in a text field.
Click the "Apply"
button at the bottom of the window, followed by the "OK" button to
sharpen the image transmitted by the webcam.
