Add/Change Webcam Resolution

#1 Post by CGH »

Hi everyone,

The webcam on my Thinkpad T495 has a '1920x1080' resolution, but I'm only able to capture a very poor one: '160x120'. Is there any way to change the settings or add a new resolution? If I use

Code: Select all

v4l2-ctl -v width=1920,height=1080,pixelformat=YUYV
[\code]
nothing changes.

This is the kernel
[code]
~$ uname -r
5.17.0-1-amd64
This is the webcam resolution:

Code: Select all

~$ v4l2-ctl --list-formats-ext
ioctl: VIDIOC_ENUM_FMT
	Type: Video Capture

	[0]: 'YUYV' (YUYV 4:2:2)
		Size: Discrete 160x120
			Interval: Discrete 0.100s (10.000 fps)
And more info of the webcam information

Code: Select all

~$ inxi -Gxx
