I have a Logitech Pro 9000 webcam working with Mac OS X. I want to disable the autofocus feature of that webcam.

How to do this in Mac OS X?

Third Party drivers for web cams on the Mac include Macam, iUSBCam, and iGlasses.

Sadly Kio Dane's answer is less helpful now for me, and I suspect it's since the Snow Leopard release.

  • Macam hasn't been able to recognize any camera I've given it, even a well behaved "driverless" cameras.
  • iUSBCam has a message on THEIR SITE saying that the program no longer works / no longer supported under Snow Leopard (that's why I suspect whatever change caused it also affects Maccam)
  • iGlasses does work with my HP webcam on SL but doesn't have an option for auto-focus, even though the camera clearly has that feature. Also, it's $10, though might be worth it for other things.

This isn't anybody's "fault", I don't blame Kio or Apple, but things may have changed in SL.

If anybody has any ideas, please update. I'll check the vendor's site, HP in this case.
