What to Do if the Video is Blurry or Pixelated

If you're experiencing blurry or pixelated video while using your Opal webcam, don't worry! This is a common issue that can often be resolved with a few simple adjustments. Here's what you can do.

📹 If using Auto-Focus

 

Enable Auto-Focus: If your webcam has an Auto-Focus mode, make sure it's enabled. This feature automatically adjusts the focus to provide a clear image.

Clean the Lens: Sometimes, smudges or dust on the lens can interfere with the Auto-Focus. Gently clean the lens with a soft, lint-free cloth.

 

🎥 If using Manual-Focus

Access the Focus Settings: Open the webcam software or the application you're using the webcam with, and navigate to the focus settings.

Adjust the Focus Distance: You can manually adjust the focus distance from 0.1m to 2.0m, depending on your needs. Here's how:

  • 0.1m: Ideal for close-up shots, such as when the webcam is near your face.
  • 2.0m: Suitable for capturing a wider scene, like a group of people or a room.
 

Test Different Distances: Experiment with different focus distances to find the one that provides the clearest image for your specific setup.


🛠️ Check the Video Quality Settings

Resolution: Make sure the video resolution is set to the recommended level for the video app you’re using, or use the “Auto” resolution setting. Press ⌘+ to access settings > go to the Video Tab and select Auto in the Camera Resolution dropdown.

Bandwidth: If you're in a video call, a slow internet connection might cause pixelation. Check your internet speed and consider using a wired connection if possible.
