Hi, I bought a Logitech C310 webcam. According to the box, it supports 5 
megapixel photos and 720p video.
How can I take high-resolution photos from it? Does it work through v4l or a 
separate interface?
The camera is working well in mplayer (showing 1280*720 video).

Thanks
Adrian

P.S. I had originally sent this email to video4linux-list@redhat.com more than a 
month ago and got no reply. I have just found out now about this list at 
vger.kernel.org, and that the redhat one is obsolete.
I think v4l needs a webpage that clearly gives the current information. 
http://linux.bytesex.org/v4l2/ is apparently outdated, and the wiki front page 
is not very helpful.
Also, the old mailing list should automatically forward to this list / 
automatically reply with info about this list / be closed down.

The camera sensor has a native 1280x960 resolution. You won't be able to 
capture higher resolution images. If you look at the box, there should be an 
"achieved by software interpolation" or similar comment in a very small 
footprint.
