Great picture, but autofocus scrap

The picture of the webcam itself is compelling. Sharp, Contrast and still in great detail even in low light. Especially I like the "True Color mode" the associated software.
One thing that but let me be downright insane, is the autofocus, the shuttling constantly between foreground and background and pumps. Suddenly, the image is completely blurred for 2s, then sharp again. Even in brightly lit, high-contrast situations. The only way to keep the image sharp, is to turn the auto focus in the Sofware. But then of course you have the disadvantage that near or far objects are blurry.

The built-in microphone also does not convince me really. The sound is blechig and noisy and no comparison to my USB Micro. For occasional Skype conferences, it is sufficient, but good sound is something else.

Also rather bad I evaluate the software Microsoft LifeCam. The surface is therefore stylish but interesting settings like auto focus are hiding in ugly submenus. There is also an important function as self-timer is not - so that after 3s a picture is shot, so you do not necessarily must have one hand on the mouse with self-portraits. The software was allegedly not been updated since 2010 also. As I would have expected more from Microsoft.
