Tried standing back away, looking from view of laptop position (even without my glasses on). A shipwreck hunter once said that if you look at anything underwater long enough, it will start to look like a shipwreck. Same is true of Spanish trail followers (look at a rock enough it appears to be a treasure sign). Garrett control box of Ace 250 has those neon bright buttons you can't miss. So, moved past laptop a couple more steps to be back away more at an angle. Still being nearsighted could see the text print on the box, If you gaze long from that distance (without glasses) the gaps between buttons can disappear for a moment but come back again. I tried then opening my webcam program again, looking at box with a 29-inch flat screen TV hooked up to my laptop. No gaps as between buttons and no text print visible anywhere. Just a well-shaped nose, eyes, cheeks, and forehead. I have a video program which can bypass the webcam software and record high resolution HD WMV video clips through a laptop camera. That should clear it up if this is a lower resolution problem.
Update--Did a couple more tests. Picked up the Garrett box putting it in from of my laptop. Turns out box was full of rocks and heavy to carry. That Blick Art box in background text reads nice clear and another just like it was on top of left part of Garrett box. I used the HP webcam program (this is original here). Maybe laptop cam has software installed (anti-spam technology) to identify visible product packaging in background.
Other program only goes up to HD DVD file format for (laptop cam) video recording but can take snapshot JPG even if while recording. Same results as HP cam program (face there with text missing). Here cropping down enlarged.
Have a USB live full HD facial recognition cam connected to laptop. Might try it with my program can record through it in 1920 x 1080 resolution in DVD or AVI format. Prefer DVD over AVI which is heavy to say the least.
