Hey, i tried searching the forum, but found nothing to be of help :(.

My problem is that for some very odd reason my camera is now extremly zoomed in, as far as i know i've not changed any settings... I have however now tried multiple things to fix it, and the closest i get is when i press ctrl+f, but then my picture is extremly pixly (as if i had the lowest possible resolution, my hand basicly becomes super-mario looking ^^. (I have resolution set at 1280 x 720)...

(btw, cam works fine in other programs such as xsplit and what not)... Help very much appriciated :). thanks


*Edit* After some more trial and error i have realised that every time i go in to settings, and click the "update" button in the top right corner, resolution resets back to 160x120. I have ABSOLUTELY no idea why, and i've tried several diffrent resolutions, same thing happens */edit*


*edit2* Ok, i googled even more, and found something that i tried, and it WORKED FLAWLESSLY! So anyways i'm gonna leave this thread here if anyone has a similar problem, maby they will find the solution faster! :D */edit*



******* Solution ********

Ok, so the problem someone mentioned was that your output window is to small for the webcam to "fit". So basiclly you need to go in to settings -> video and play around with your base resolution and resolution scaling untill you have atleast as big as your webcam format or w/e. Anyways all i had to do was play around a bit in there and now cam works perfectly, hope this helps anyone :).
