HP Laptop
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Just want to know how to zoom the built-in camera on my new HP Laptop 17-ca0 series. It's running Windows 10. I only find the Camera program to control the camera and I don't see how to zoom in that program. I can switch from camera to video. I can start and stop video Those are the only controls that I see. Pinching doesn't seem to work. Any suggestions?

Your machine should have CyberLink Youcam software. Please open software and Select the Zoom button (a) if you want to zoom in on the webcam video image. In the Face Detection & Zoom window you can do the following:

 

  • Select Auto face detection to detect your face and auto zoom in slightly. Using this feature enables CyberLink YouCam to track and follow your face as it moves around the webcam image (your machine may not support this function)
  • Use the Manual zoom slider to manually zoom (up to 4x zoom) in on a specific part of your webcam video. Drag the boxed area to the area of the video you want the camera to focus on

 

(a) The zoom button is similar to the following button

     YouCam zoombut3 Zooming In on the Video Image

 

Regards.
