    Hi there guys.

    I got an F8Sg about a month back, and haven't used the built in webcam much. Today I wanted to record a video for YouTube and found it to have horrendous motion blur.

    I reinstalled Vista immediatly on getting it and kinda assumed I got the right drivers - the picture quality etc is fine but the motion blur makes it all but unuseable! When I talk my mouth just looks like a pink blur.

    Any ideas? Or is this webcam just a bit awful?

    Cheers,
    Ben.

    You're trying to use the webcam in light that is too poor and low - the blur is what you get when the webcam software lowers the fps and kicks up the exposure gain in order to get a viewable picture with the lighting on hand.

    Try using it in good lighting - that should solve your problem :).
