Socialize HD 1080 Auto Focus

Hello,
Does anyone know if it's possible to turn OFF the auto focus on the Socialize HD 1080?
Thank you.

Hi Creative
I have similar problem! Autofocus is extremely bad! I sid still right in front of camera and the autofocus keeps calibrating, which means that i get out of focus... Please develop firmware update asap to fix this issue!!! I have tried tweaking the settings as mentioned in the above post, and cleaning the lens thoroughly (took it right out of the box), but none of this helped...
You cant call the web cam a cheap model, so I find this very critical!
Please help me, so I can be satisfied with my purchase.
Best regards
Casper

How do I stop Firefox from auto-focusing on text boxes?

How do I stop Firefox from auto-focusing on text boxes? Sometimes as a page is loading, I scroll down the page...only to have the page jump back to where there is a text box, with a blinking cursor, after the page is finished loading. It is an annoying feature and I want to turn it off.

Some pages use an onload event to set the focus to a text area or search field.
You can try NoScript to see if that blocks it.

[SOLVED:] SLIM not reading slim.conf (no password auto-focus)

Yesterday I began having issues with SLIM. I'm not sure if they're related, but while running Puppy , I inadvertently deleted the desktop icon for my Arch home directory on /dev/sda8. I rebooted Puppy and it reappeared. After running Puppy, something went wrong with my clocks (system and hardware) and the times were all wrong. I fixed that with NTPD. I currently dual boot Arch and Windows 7 from the hard drive, and occasionally from a USB stick, Puppy Linux. I'm using an ASUS K50IJ laptop. I run Xfce4. I do not have any disk encryption enabled.
When I boot up, the SLIM login appears as normal, but rather than password auto-focus, I'm prompted for a username. If I enter the username and hit return, I'm still staring at the username prompt. After three or four iterations of entering a username + enter, I finally get a password prompt and can log in.
I have tried:
1. Reinstalling archlinux-themes-slim
2. Uninstalling archlinux-themes-slim and slim, then reinstalling slim
3. Removing old Xfce4 & Xfwm sessions
4. Removing slim.conf and entering a pristine version.
5. Reviewing /var/log/slim.log files for oddities. I found one:
Before the trouble started, I the message in the log was:

I solved this - slim was not the last daemon I started in rc.conf. By moving it to the end, I get password auto-focus and everything works.
Now my rc.conf looks like
# DAEMONS
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng dbus acpid @network @wicd @openntpd @cupsd @crond slim)
I found this recommendation in the Display Manager wiki page while researching the problem:
Ensure you start the display manager last in the DAEMONS array, otherwise X will later allocate a tty device which was previously claimed by Getty (see /etc/inittab). Not placing the display manager at the end can cause X crashes, and is therefore unsupported.
I'd just been lucky before that there wasn't a conflict.
There is a "flicker" during login where I'm shown the XFCE splash, then the SLIM splash again, then the XFCE desktop. Not sure what's going on there, but it's no big deal.
Cheers,
Rob

Lumia 1020 auto focus in video when used in apps.....

Hi. If I want to take a video clip up close using the Nokia Lumia 1020 on WhatsApp or Skype, the auto focus just will not fire. It stays zoomed out, and is only useful for taking clips really far away. This is incredibly frustrating given that I bought this phone for the camera.
Is this a bug in the phone? or is my phone broken?
Auto focus only works when using the actual camera app. Skype and WhatsApp seem to ignore the "auto focus" setting that I've turned on in the default camera app and the Nokia Camera app...
Really disappointed.
Jez

not sure as i haven't used those apps myslef, but for example, if you use Vine, there is a setting in there that allows you to lock the focus. it appears to me that auto-focus isn't automatically enabled / enabled at all in certain apps. you will need to contact the developers of the apps themselves for further feedback, as this is a user to user forum only for Nokia products and services.

Auto focus on my 2 year old T3i has stopped working, any suggestions.

auto focus has stopped working. camera is almost 2 years old. I can take pictures at normal distance but if I try to take a picture that requires zoom it will not work and all my pictures are fuzzy.

Check the lens and make sure the "AF/MF" switch is in the "AF" position (Auto-focus is on).
Do you own other lenses and does this happen with them?
Are other functions of the lens working? e.g. if you change the f-stop does it affect the exposure (showing that the camera is communicating witht the lens to control the blades.)
Make sure the contacts on the body and lens are clean. Clean them only with a non-abbrassive cloth (e.g. don't use a "pencil eraser" for example) because the gold plating on the contacts is thin and can be worn off if you use an abbrassive cleaner.
Eject the battery from the camera... wait several minutes, then re-insert (this basically "reboots" the firmware. Turning off the power switch doesn't "technically" shut it down... it puts it into a kind of "sleep" state. But removing the batteries, allowing any capacitors with stored power to self-discharge, then re-inserting the batteries will cause the camera to boot fresh and this will sometimes clear up problems.
It's also possible that there's a problem with the auto-focus mechanism in the lens itself and the lens would need service to repair it, but you may as well rule out other things before you resort to sending it in.

Autoanswer and Auto Focus

Is this possible when using the WindowsPhone app?
Can full time auto focus be enabled when a Skype call is established?
I'm using a Nokia Lumia 520

Hi and welcome to the Skype Community,
Regarding auto-answer: This is not possible yet. How would you see this being used in everyday use of a mobile app? Usually users would have the phone in their pocket or a bag. Maybe you share a scenario where it would be useful?
Autofocus: Are you referring to video calls? The camera should also have autofocus working. If that is not the case for you: Which Windows Phone model are you using?

Auto focus in Safari Yosemite does not work on new tab.

Creating a new tab in Safari does not auto focus the address bar. I need to Cmd-L to activate the address bar. This is annoying because I usually create a new tab to enter a search. Is this a bug or working as intended?

OK! I've found the error by myself. The XML file I am trying to update is not schema valid. Infact I've registered the schema with this call:
begin
dbms_xmlschema.registerSchema(
'PurchaseOrder.xsd',
getdocument('PurchaseOrder.xsd'),
TRUE,TRUE,FALSE,TRUE
end;
So the first three lines of the XML file must be:
<PurchaseOrder
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="PurchaseOrder.xsd">
and not
<PurchaseOrder
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="HTTP://localhost/sys/schemas/REF5/PurchaseOrder.xsd">
I think it is better not to register the schema with relative URL...
Bye!

N95 - Does your camera clicks when auto focus (half-pressed)?
When i press the camera button half way through it makes a noticeable "click" noise after locking on an object.
It doesn't make the clicking noise when i press the camera button one time without manually auto focus.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Yep, exactly that.
Green - Focus lock acheived - OK to take picture and it should come out in focus.
Red - No Focus lock - will still take a shot if you fully press shutter button though.Message Edited by luckieb on 27-Apr-200708:37 PM

HT201401 iPhone 5 camera not auto focusing

Any ideas how to fix ?

I took my iPhone 5 into the apple store this afternoon and after confirming the auto focus wasn't working properly, they replaced my phone. New phone camera works perfectly.

Should I spend the $280.00 to have Canon fix my 70D auto-focusing issue?

Should I spend the $280.00 to have Canon fix my 70D auto-focusing issue? Or just return back to my very much trusted Rebels?

Very much appreciate your taking time to send a response. As a new user I wasn't sure if anyone would bother. Allow me to add a little more to my first post. I fit in that niche between amateur and a person with clients. For over 10 years I have covered events for a non-profit agency capturing the look and feel of 20+ events per year and was given permission to purchase a few cameras over the year. My decision from the beginning was to use the Canon Rebel. Images were spot on and only once did I have an issue with one of them (after shooting outside events in 105 degree temps for 3 days).
So, when I retired a year ago it was for me a pretty simple choice to get a Canon for myself - especially since at that time the 70D was on the cover of magazines and was very highly touted. I also did a lot of desktop publishing and photo editing which helped me realize I wanted the best sensor, sharpness, resolution and lens I could afford - the 70D. My post was actually a result of reading many online responses including your very informative replies about the 70D focusing issues. My biggest concern is that I will spend several hundred dollars and maybe, just maybe get back a camera which captures better focused images, but still not as sharp as the lower end Rebels I was using. I had hoped to purchase my first "L" lens and really get excited - not repair the most expensive camera I've bought to date.
Thanks again and before it gets noted by someone...yes, I should have pushed this issue sooner and then at least the warranty would have covered the cost. An expensivve lesson learned. But I will have to add that at least one authorized Canon repair dealer told me they have had several folks feel like I did - that it was the photographer/me as a new user having the issue and not the camera. I now know it's my camera.
Let me clarify that I don't own a 70D, so anything I say about it is from watching what others have said, mainly in this forum. But it is disconcerting to see so much complaint about a camera that's supposed to have an innovative focusing system. One is strongly tempted to suspect that they went overboard in trying to make the camera serve both still photographers and videographers.
That said, I'm not a great fan of the Rebel line, because they lack autofocus microadjustment and I have at least one otherwise excellent Canon lens that would be useless without it. (The 70D does have AFMA, a point in its favor.)
As far as spending the $280 for the repair, I understand why it's a hard call. If I were in your shoes and were convinced that Canon understands the issue and would fix it correctly and permanently, I guess I'd go for it. If you don't think they do, but fell that you need something a cut above the Rebels, this may be a good time to buy a leftover or refurbished 7D. Even though I now have a 5D3, I still use my 7D's a fair amount and have been very happy with them. And the 7D2 has gotten such a favorable reception that's it's almost bound to make more 7D's available at a decent price.

I thought I would be able to scan barcodes with my iPad 2 but it won't because it does not have an auto-focus camera. Can the camera be upgraded? can a peripheral cam be plugged in?

I thought I would be able to scan bar codes with my iPad 2 but cannot because it only has a fixed-lens camera. Bar code scanning apps require auto-focus cameras. Can I upgrade the camera within the iPad2 to auto-focus? If not, can I add a peripheral auto-focus camera and plug it in the the usb port?

Your not able to upgrade the camera, it's not really there for photos . Also there is no USB port on the iPad just a cable that connects to you computer.

Canon 6D Back button auto focus and ISO settings

I was curious why when I am shooting in TV mode and I am using the back button auto focus that the camera will automatically change the ISO setting that I set. Is there something that I have missed in the settings or is this an automatic feature that can not be turned off?

Sounds like you have safety shift set in a custom function
Check C.Fn 1-6 Safety Shift - you may have it set to 2 - ISO Speed
