No with that camera. The Logitech Quickcams use a very straightforward 
approach to still image capture. Nothing is implemented in the camera, and 
the host driver takes a picture from the video stream to serve it as a still 
image. This will unfortunately not lead to relaxed timing/buffering 
constraints.
