I recently bought a USB microscope/camera and Windows 10 is causing me some headaches.
I can't say for certain where the problem lies, but it seems to be how Windows is treating the camera, seemingly as if it's a front-facing webcam.
- Device driver for all The Imaging Source USB cameras except the 33U, 37U, 38U and AFU420 series. November 21, 2017. Intel Core i3 or similar, 2 GB RAM; USB 3.0 or USB 2.0 controller (depends upon camera model) Graphics card with 24.
- Jiusion 40 to 1000x Magnification Endoscope, 8 LED USB 2.0 Digital Microscope, Mini Camera with OTG Adapter and Metal Stand, Compatible with Mac Window 7.
It's a 5MP camera, so firstly I should be getting a resolution of 2560 x 1960, yet the stock Camera app and nearly every other piece of software I have tried is limited to 2048 x 1536. I'd probably be able to get over this, except whenever I use the stock Camera app, or anything else I've tried, it seems to zoom in and/or cut off some of the picture? I'm not sure.
The software that came with the microscope gives the full resolution and field of view, but unfortunately it is generally awful software. A few other freeware apps also manage the full res, but have the same issues as the software that came with the camera. YouCam etc. all has the same problems that the stock Camera app does.

Apr 02, 2015 For a camera being couple of years old (especially microscope), there is a good change the manufacturer never released 64-bit drivers. Most of these companies never cared to publish / certify drivers to MS site either. So, find an old WinXP desktop / laptop computer, and see whether you can download drivers there.
Basically, I want Windows to recognise that the device is capable of higher resolutions and stop cropping/zooming/whatever it is doing. How can I effect these changes?

edit: I was testing settings in YouCam, which lets me change the resolution (but is still capped for whatever reason) and I discovered if I set the resolution to 640 x 480 it gives me the full field of view, or doesn't crop it, or whatever it's doing. For some reason setting it to a higher capture resolution chops off a decent part of the picture, which is unacceptable.
