I have reported a similar problem with my S5500 to this list some time ago: http://lists.berlios.de/pipermail/linux-uvc-devel/2008-July/003928.html Also I posted the problem on the Logitech forums: http://forums.quickcamteam.net/showthread.php?tid=396 The problem is still unresolved. > I'm not sure what is going on here: some kind of persistent > auto-exposure calibration issue, perhaps?

Thanks, Chris Yes :) Could you also please mention this issue on the Logitech forums to raise attention from the Logitech guy(s).
