From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I had personally been looking for a way to control my Logitech C930e Camera on Linux, but was struggeling to find something that would actually connect to the camera AND be able to adjust the levels of zoom and focus. Fortunatly I was able to stumble upon this project called Cameractrls! It's a very simple and straight to the point software writtin in Python. If there are any additional good software like this please feel free to share below!

Edit; I tried installing LogiTunes via Bottles but it kept failing during install - glad i could find a replacement!

Thanks for sharing! I've been using guvcview for a long time to control exposure and focus on my good old Logitech C920, but adding a ppa just for that seemed a bit too much. I will definitely have a look at it!

Why do you need a PPA? It's packaged Debian already.... https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=guvcview&searchon=names&suite=all&section=all

I normally just use the Qt V4L2 test app (descriptively named qv4l2) to check how the cam image looks, but it can't set any camera-specific properties.

Just to confirm it also works with the Logitech C930e that the OP has. This is what I use it for.
