Hi,

Recently I have got a new Logitech C910, the video quality is quite decent and allows a satisfactory video call through Skype, I am fine with the 720p.

Despite its goods, a strange focusing issue aroused my concern:

the focus doesn't change when I am sliding towards the infinity end.

Better to explain with a picture:

Sliding along the green portion of the slider, the focus changes gradually...........and until it reaches the current position as shown on this pic, the focus stops changing.

If I slide towards the infinity along the red portion of the slider, nothing is changing at all.

Is it a software issue, or my cam is sort of broken?

I hope to have your kind answer as soon as you are available so that I can return it to the shop in time(within 7 days of purchase, it was two days ago by now).

Many thanks in advance.

Mine C910 works the same way. Seems to be using a fixed-focus setting at the lower quarter of the range and dynamic focus in the upper three-quarters.

Thanks a lot for your prompt reply, at least this is not an individual case.

It doesn't affect me a great extent for I normally use it within a meter in front of the computer, just wonder if I should return it when I still have the chance.

Now I will leave it for it is common among C910.
