Topic: I need a new camera

My C910 hasn't been working lately so I'm in the process of getting a new camera. I was wondering if you had any suggestions. - creep

I thought the C910 was a good camera for brickfilming. What's the matter with it? It could be something you can fix.

First tell us what is wrong, second see if you can fix it, third if you can't fix it then give us a description of the kind of camera you want.

The light flicker is really bad and I can't put it to manual focus plus I all ways have to fix the white balance and it never gives me the quality I want

Re: I need a new camera

You should be able to have manual focus with the C910. Even if you're on a Mac, I think it still gives you control of it (I could be wrong, you know). Are you sure you have all your settings on maunal (besides focus)?

Light Flicker usily isn't your camera. Make sure you are animating in a dark room with no windows or with the Windows covered up
Why would you want it on manual focus? < just me being stupid
and does it matter that you have to readjust every time?

Just because you don't like your camera isn't a very good reason to replace it.

Animate at night and sit Away from your lights so your movements don't effect it.

Manual focus is most likely the key element to make a nice and professional looking brickfilm.
Aaron Reyes, If you are able to, can you provide a few screenshots of the webcam settings? Anything that might help fix this situation.

Har Har... No need to be beating yourself up. This is a friendly community. I should be the one saying sorry for sounding as if it were a bad thing. I was merely correcting you... sort of mini/tongue

Re: I need a new camera

What operating system are you using, and what camera capture program, if any?
