Hi, I’m working with a nice logitech webcamera (is a c525, 720p and 60fps max) it has a great image quality and an auto-focus thats work well if the main object is bigger than 51% of the capture. As I will capture images from the camera only if is there some one in front of it (face recognition) I need to know if the focus is in the background of the capture or the object in front of it, I wan to know if there is any way to know where is the focus, if can I get some info from the camera, of if there any api to get more info or set enable or disable some functions of the webcamera.

Thanks!
