Any chance that there is a smudge on the lens? The center of the pic looks more out of focus than other areas.View attachment 87799
I've started looking a tad blurry maybe the last two times I've gotten on cam, and this is even with Auto-focus turned off. It's not TOO noticeable, but it's bugging me. Lol. My other Logitech Brio isn't doing this at all...only my second Brio (the newer one).

Thanks. Yeah, it's just the center that's giving me this blurriness. I've put away both webcams and webcam cords (and laptop) for the night, but later Tuesday night - prior to getting on cam again - I'll try wiping it with a paper towel with a drop of water. Instead of just blowing on the lens and using a finger to wipe it. Lol.

Try 3 point lighting. I think the glare/sheen off your back drop with the direct light is causing that. I'd suggest 2 side lights or ring lights then a clip on ring light behind your cam source if needed. I find my side lights being slightly pointed away from me works the best.

I cam with the brio w/AF turned off and use Logitech's Brio control center to adjust coloring, Sometimes, not often, after I've click AF off, I'll have to drag the button all the way over where it's completely blurry and then drag it back to the left to fix any slight blurring issues.
Awesome! Glad that it worked.Ugh, the multi-quote feature on here was driving me crazy just now! Lol.
No more lights for me. I am in love with this softbox lighting that I've been using since February, and I've also had this moon/ocean backdrop since then, and this hasn't been an issue...always awesome video quality. It turned out to be what Kylie suggested earlier...just a smudge on the lens. I cleaned it with a wet paper towel, and it's fine now. I just finished recording a video on it. Thanks, everyone.
I see this arrived. Looks great in your new profile photo.I decided to order the Inkeltech softbox set, and also ordered this gorgeous tapestry for the wall.

3 point Lighting is a common setup, but it's far from necessary.I'm saving up to get this: Godox ES45 Lighting Kit. Do I need a third light (for three point lighting) or will that not be necessary?
I'm thinking about getting a smaller, cheap light as my third point bc the kit is expensive.
Thanks!
does anybody know how to create that dark/moody lighting? are there special lights for that? my makeshift mood lighting was to hang some fabric over a fairly bright lamp and that has been working quite well but i'm wondering if there are better ways of doing it.
i'm looking to achieve something like this:
I should add that I dont mean to recreate that exact colour composition. Just that "dark" lighting in general. The reference photo was probably misleading.It looks likes she's using a hard light source to the side of her face, and then a small red light directly above her.
Could probably achieve something like this with a handful of small lights like the Aputure MC

Yeah, I will probably have to upgrade my cam to achieve the result I'm looking for. I've had my C920 for almost two years now so maybe it's time to get a new one.Hm for darker set ups, it really makes a difference what kind of camera you're using.. Although I've had some good experience with a regular logitech c922 webcam & philips hue lamps & cheap RGB floodlights in the past (they can make some really interesting looking backgrounds, especially if you have plants or other decor to cast shadows etc.).

I've watched a lot of great tutorials on youtube for this. Search cinematic lighting. There are different styles and methods available so you can probably find what you're looking for or combine methods to get what you want.I should add that I dont mean to recreate that exact colour composition.

I agree. I used my lamp side table lamp, with a strong, white light bulb. It is tall enough to be above the cam, and light me, but not blind me. It helps if you have white walls. Also, if you have a window, or doors, exposing the outside when it is dusk, close them off, or the light is sucked out of the room. The smaller the space, the less light you need.For those who don't have a professional set up and/or are short on funds, a few extra desk or table lamps can really help improve your lighting. I use one desk lamp, one multi head floor lamp, and one single bulb floor lamp and my lighting is pretty good. You don't have to break the bank to have decent equipment.
This is the lamp Amber recommended, I use it as well and would second her suggestion, but don't buy the blue one! I made that mistake and it makes adjusting my camera settings a bit tricky. http://www.target.com/p/room-essentials ... A-12242155
Just saw someone discuss this on another forum. Do you guys think that it's true that for some models home environment with less light and no professional background work better? I mean even on pornhub the content is usually split into pro and amateur categories. I don't really see how streaming in a good studio helps in this case really.
