    So, i'm using a dv6985se notebook, and i have a few questions about the webcam settings. When i try to adjust some settings, I am unable to click on anything under the 'Camera Control' tab. I am really having a tough time using the cam in a low-light environment. Is there anybody that is having the same problems as me? Anyone have any suggestions?? Thanks!!

    Web Cams aren't really meant for low light situations. People often spend a great deal of money on cameras (DSLR's) and digital camcorders that offer low light performance.

    Alot of webcams will produce bad quality images at low light conditions. Theres nothing you can do about it im afraid.

    They produce best picture on daytime using sunlight.
