I have been using a USB video camera for months which is recognized as SMI.
I think it’s an ov 5647 that has always worked perfectly in color.
for a few weeks now I’ve only seen the preview in black and white despite the lightburn settings being in color.
using the windows tool for the webcam I see it working perfectly in color.
otherwise it is perfectly calibrated and functional but it was nice to be able to see the color work plan as it was before.

 

please do you have any suggestions?
I didn’t change anything, just at a certain point the color was disappeared.
today I did several tests including a new calibration and everything works except the color.
the LB cam settings in the settings menu are set to color

      Just to confirm, it’s not due to lighting conditions that the image may just appear to be black and white? Just want to get anything obvious out of the way. Some cameras have low color sensitivity.
If that’s not the issue, have you tried connecting to a different USB port? Try a USB3 port if available even if it’s a USB2 device.
If that doesn’t work, have you tried toggling Camera View in Settings to Black and White and then toggled back to Color?
