Tips for precisely adjusting the recording area window


When setting the recording area in oCam, being able to precisely adjust the position and size of the window is very useful. oCam provides intuitive shortcut keys for this, allowing users to fine-tune the recording area exactly as needed. Below are some tips for precisely adjusting the recording area window and how to use the shortcut keys.


In oCam, you can drag the window used to set the recording area with the mouse to move or resize it, but using shortcut keys allows for much more precise adjustment. Shortcut keys are especially useful when you need to set an exact position or size.


Adjusting the recording area position  

- Arrow keys: Press the arrow keys (up, down, left, right) to move the recording area window precisely one pixel at a time. This is useful when fine adjustment is needed.  

- Ctrl + Arrow keys: If you want to move it by a larger amount, use the arrow keys while holding down the Ctrl key. This combination moves the window more quickly, making it easier to adjust the position efficiently.


Adjusting the recording area size  

- Shift + Arrow keys: Hold down the Shift key and use the arrow keys to resize the recording area window. The up and down arrow keys adjust the height of the window, and the left and right arrow keys adjust the width. This also allows precise adjustment one pixel at a time.  

- Shift + Ctrl + Arrow keys: If you want to resize the window by a larger amount, use the arrow keys while holding down both the Shift and Ctrl keys. This combination changes the window size more quickly in larger increments, which is useful when major resizing is needed.


These shortcut keys help you adjust oCam's recording area settings very precisely and carefully. For example, if you want to record only a specific game window or a certain part of the screen, you can first set the approximate area with the mouse and then use the shortcut keys to fine-tune it pixel by pixel for the exact result you want.


In this way, oCam provides user-friendly shortcut keys that support precise adjustment of the recording area. Make active use of these shortcut keys to set the recording area more accurately and efficiently.

If Avast is installed, please disable the DeepScreen feature.

When users who use Avast antivirus install or update an OhSoft program such as oCam, the installation process may repeat several times. This is caused by Avast's 'DeepScreen' feature. Below is a detailed explanation of the cause of this issue and how to resolve it.


The DeepScreen feature is triggered when there is not enough reputation information about an executable file, which can cause a program such as oCam to be recognized as suspicious. OhSoft makes efforts to maintain compatibility with antivirus software, but in this case, even though the program is functioning normally, a situation can occur where a legitimate executable file that is not malicious is unable to install or update properly because of a specific antivirus feature. This is similar to a situation where a properly developed program causes inconvenience to users because of a false positive from antivirus software. 


To resolve this issue, you need to disable Avast's DeepScreen feature. Below is a step-by-step guide on how to turn off the DeepScreen feature:

 

1. Go to the main screen of Avast antivirus.

2. Click the 'Settings' button on the left side of the screen.

3. When the Settings window opens, select the 'Antivirus' button from the menu on the left.

4. In the 'Antivirus' section, find the 'Enable DeepScreen' checkbox and clear it.


After changing the setting, confirm that it has been saved, then try installing or updating oCam again. Once the DeepScreen feature is disabled, the repeated installation issue is likely to be resolved. If the problem continues, you may also want to apply the latest Avast updates or contact OhSoft support.
