TrueColor Technology

Microsoft’s new image processing technology, TrueColor, provides superior color and brightness in almost all lighting conditions, including low light and backlight. TrueColor Technology sets the correct balance of brightness to help ensure the user’s face is not overexposed or underexposed in a variety of environments — from out on the porch with bright sunshine in the morning to the living room with low light in the evening. It does this through a carefully designed proprietary combination of software and firmware to deliver a great experience.

Widescreen Video With 720p HD Sensor

With more and more people uploading and sharing personal videos with friends and family, widescreen video was a must-have for today’s webcams. Not only does widescreen video fit better with newer widescreen displays, it enables multiple chat participants to comfortably fit in the field of view.

Auto Focus

LifeCam HD-6000 for Notebooks also features Auto Focus, which keeps video in focus no matter how far the distance from the LifeCam — from four inches to infinity. This is perfect for showing off printed pictures lying around the desk or even a business card for contact information. And the great part about Microsoft’s Auto Focus is that it’s built right into the camera. Usually Auto Focus is a software feature, but it will work right out of the box with LifeCam HD-6000 for Notebooks.
