Automatic Gain Control ensures your voice is clearly picked up even from a distance.

- Remote Control Unresponsive: Check if the remote's batteries need replacement. Ensure there are no obstructions between the remote and the webcam.
- Auto-Framing Issues: Remember that auto-framing functions optimally under 1080P@30fps. Rapid movements or multiple subjects might affect its performance.
