Hi all,

I am having some issues with autoshutter when using macam with a  
Philips Vesta Fun webcam, model PCVC665K. This uses the SE401 driver  
in macam (cameras/MySE401Driver.m) with VID 0x0471 and PID 0x030b.

What happens:
* Camera image loads OK, and can adjust params in macam, including  
shutter and gain.
* Turning on auto-gain/shutter results in oscillating image  
brightness... does not appear to converge to a stable brightness  
level, and oscillates rapidly between dark and light.

Also, there does not appear to be any way to adjust the shutter and  
gain from the QuickTime sequence grabber settings panel produced by  
macam for this camera. I see sliders for brightness, contrast, and  
saturation, but no others.

So my questions:
What can I do (including changing code if necessary) to get a stable  
auto-gain from this cam?
Is is possible to have an external app (using QuickTime SG) to adjust  
the gain?

I am using latest macam from cvs, Mac OS X 10.4.8, on both a MacBook  
Pro and an old Blue and White G3.

Cheers,
Phil.
