Before installing SparkoCam it is necessary to close all applications that will be using SparkoCam. For example, if you are going to use SparkoCam with Skype, you need to close Skype before proceeding with installation (note: it is necessary to right-click on Skype's icon in system tray and choose "Quit" in order to fully close Skype), otherwise "SparkoCam Virtual Webcam" won't be visible to other applications until PC restart. If you don't have real webcam, but own Canon camera or just want to use your DSLR camera in video chat, then you can use Canon Camera mode and easily turn Canon DSLR camera into a fully functional high-quality webcam! Using SparkoCam it is possible to change camera settings like "Av", "Tv", "ISO" or "White Balance" and adjust live video feed. You can also move focus point and perform auto focusing.
