Wireless Camera Focus Distance

For those of you using the wireless camera that came with the EZ-B kit, what's the typical focus range are you using? im guessing about 8-10 inch for color/face tracking, but anything else further gets blurry. It sure would be nice if it has auto focus.

Camera Image Without Red Bars

I'm coding the software for Zeus. I want to have a full screen image from the webcam. I've followed the #18 tutorial and now I have a working camera but in fullscreen the red bars are too big. Is there a way to have only the camera image? The updatepreview function is the only way to update images? In this way I can't use the FrameRate attribute.

Community Polling?

I just had a thought. Have you considered adding a polling feature on the website? I think that would be helpful when you want to know at a glance (as well as short and to the point) what the general opinion/wants might be of your community as a whole.
