To ensure the best quality of image, please do not sit with the light behind you. In the example above the light is on the left of the subject and this is noticable. Try to ensure that the light source is behind the camera and directed at the subject.

As this action is taken the kbps will change to 2500. This is fine but please do not change the Resolution.
