Windows 10: Where can I turn off autofocus for my Lifecam Cinema camera?

Microsoft site says with Windows 10 there is no additional software to install for Lifecam Cinema USB camera. However, I cannot find where I can make adjustments to the camera, such as turning off autofocus.


Any ideas?


Thanks

Lifecam Cinema

I cannot install my LifeCam Cinema camera. The latest version of the software starts to install and then stops with an unspecified error. The Windows software works, but it is of very limited functionality. The notification window says that the installation
is not complete, but clicking on the link for completion does nothing.

More important, when I check the camera in Windows 10 Settings>Devices>Connected Devices, the Entry for LifeCam Cinema says "App available for this device." However, when you click on the Get App button, it takes you to a screen that says "Page not found."

The LifeCam Cinema is stated by Microsoft to be Windows 10 compatible. So, that is not the issue.

I have two workstations that use the camera, but they both have identical behaviors.

Any suggestions?

 

Microsoft LifeCam Cinema Camera

On windows 7, I had a program to use for Microsoft LifeCam Cinema Camera. On windows 10 how do I use the Camera? The Camera App just flashes and does not appear to do anything. Is there a setting some where I need to change. I have tried changing USB
ports and I saw changes flashing by, but that is all. Any suggestions?
