Logitech C310
Hi, I bought a Logitech C310 webcam. According to the box, it supports 5 megapixel photos and 720p video.
How can I take high-resolution photos from it? Does it work through v4l or a separate interface?
The camera is working well in mplayer (showing 1280*720 video).
Thanks
Adrian
P.S. I had originally sent this email to [email protected] more than a month ago and got no reply. I have just found out now about this list at vger.kernel.org, and that the redhat one is obsolete.
I think v4l needs a webpage that clearly gives the current information.
http://linux.bytesex.org/v4l2/ is apparently outdated, and the wiki front page is not very helpful.
Also, the old mailing list should automatically forward to this list / automatically reply with info about this list / be closed down.

The camera sensor has a native 1280x960 resolution. You won't be able to capture higher resolution images. If you look at the box, there should be an "achieved by software interpolation" or similar comment in a very small footprint.

Oh my God, it's "software enhanced"! You bastards! </southpark> I saw it now on their website. Hadn't noticed it on the box (and I don't have
the box anymore). I'll check next time I go to a shop. Anyway, it has pretty good quality, so I don't feel that bad.
Thanks a lot for the revelation!
Adrian
