The cam is working with all softwares like cheese which are available in Software Center, but the main problem is the webcam consists of controllers and effects by default along with the webcam if we install the Software got along with the webcam. I already installed the same webcam on Windows. It's working fine with all effects and controllers like zoom out zoom in and pixel range selection, wide screen or standard and all these. But in Ubuntu it's just working without any control of those. If I want to go for 720p or 480p its not getting possible here. So this is the problem i got with this in Ubuntu.Does anyone know how it is possible to add those controls in Ubuntu?

What you want is to use software that comes with webcam, that can't be done since that software is made for windows (by Logitech decision), not Linux. However there is good software for Linux, for example guvcview:

Logitech is NOT compatible with Linux: however, it will work as a cam, but very few features. gcuviewer should be able to control it tho: i use a AF orb with guvcview and it has full controls available.

But under wine, theres no way to get past the error in setting up the control program. I've spoken to support at logitech. They seemed surprised it worked at all on a Linux system, especially one like Puppy [i use Lucid, compatible with Ubuntu] The problem isn't the camera, its the program. But the guvcview will give you full control.
