Turn off autofocus on integrated camera

[StupidUser]

Hi. Where can I change the property settings for an integrated camera? Specifically, where can I change the autofocus property?

I recently started using the camera built into my notebook (I don't have any other cameras). Sometimes the camera zooms in and out automatically. I'm told I can fix this by turning off autofocus. However, I can't find such a setting.

I opened Control Panel - View scanners and cameras. But that just gives me an empty window (see attachment). If I click "Scan Profiles", I get an error "No scanners were detected....". The Refresh button does nothing and the Add Device button is for adding a not-integrated device.

If I go to Control Panel - Devices and Printers, there is nothing camera related there. I don't know where else to look. Thanks for your help.


(Not sure if this is the right subforum. Sorry if it isn't.)

The webcam settings should be available through a systray icon.
A right-click or double-click on that icon should lead you to video
settings where you would find an option to disable autofocus.

Typically, such settings would also be available thru the Start >
Programs menu.

There is no camera icon in my system tray (I even checked the "customize" link).

What software are you using to interact with the camera?

The application giving me a problem is some web-based Adobe product for meetings with several people (it's for training at a new job). I also use the camera with Skype and TeamViewer.
