If you have more than one camera installed in your computer, you must first select the camera that you want. ❑ Click Start →Programs or All Programs →Creative →Creative Live! Cam Voice →Face Tracking Utility. Tips for successful Face Tracking Note • Face Tracking is only available with selected webcams. You will not see the Face Tracking Utility option if your camera does not support Face Tracking. ❑ Make sure the white balance is correctly adjusted so that there is no color cast. To quickly adjust white balance, place a blank sheet of white paper about 20 cm (8-inches) in front of your webcam for three seconds. ❑ Make sure your face is well lit and not over- or under-exposed. An over-exposed face appears white whereas an under-exposed face appears dark. ❑ Avoid backgrounds and clothing that are the same color as human skin. ❑ Avoid sleeveless clothing. ❑ The tracker is sensitive to head movement. In the unlikely event that the tracker fails to detect very small head movements, gently move your head to attract the attention of the tracker. ❑ The tracker is set to work best at the default color saturation setting. Changing this setting, especially to one of the extreme ends, will affect the performance of the tracker. ❑ Place the camera on a sturdy surface. The Face Tracking feature is very sensitive to movement, and holding the camera can cause the software not to track properly. Using Creative WebCam Center 4-4
