Use the “Video Capture Filter” to change the
PC Camera's settings.
The “Exposure Control” slider is the most
useful control for capturing images. The
slider will allow you to control the length of
an image exposure. It is especially useful
when you are imaging the Moon. Changing
the exposure setting will bring out more
detail in craters and mare (the dark areas)
on the Moon.
