Re: USB MS Lifecam HD 3000 Exposure Issues
I haven't tried using any of the FRC software to set the exposure, but I noticed that OpenCV has issues setting it as well. I've found that you can install v4l-utils (via opkg), and execute the following command:

Code:
v4l2-ctl -c exposure_auto=1 -c exposure_absolute=10
Works every time.
