attached screenshot showing what appears on screen when using Cheese

[Rogachyov Lavr Afanasiy (rogachyov-lavr-afanasiy)]

It is supposed to be supported form 2.26 and up but it's not working on my Ubuntu 22.04

https://linux-hardware.org/index.php?id=usb:0c45-6310

Gonna contact Starlab's tech support and ask them if anyone else reported this to them.

Been able to get "some" kind of colorless picture using guvcview
So camera seems to be working....

But there are almost no colors, and default settings produce a very dark, useless content.

The attached screenshot was done using the following setrings in guvcview :

Saturation : 19
Contrat : 64
Saturation : 128
Hue : 0
White Balance : auto
Gamma : 110
Gain : 85
Power Line Frequency : disabled
Sharpness : 6
Backlight Compensation : 0

The setting that has the most dramatic effect is the Exposure
It must be set to manual or the picture I get is a white blur

Exposure Absolute : 3200
Exposure Auto Priority : OFF

Hoping this information will help you make that camera work on Cheese ?
