Logitech C922

I want to disable auto-focus

What did you already try to solve it?

Logs (/var/log/webcamd.log, syslog, dmesg, ... no logs, no support)

Additional information about your setup (OctoPrint version, OctoPi version, ...)

I am using Octoprint with my Prusa i3 MK3S printer and recording with a Logitech C922 webcam. The auto-focus often cannot keep up with the printing process. I would like to disable the auto-focus but cannot find a good method that will permanently turn it off. Unless I am missing something, I see no way to do it in OctoPrint or OctoLapse. I have configured the octopi text correctly, I believe. If I use Logitech software, it reverts back to the default (auto-focus) when I shut down. Does anyone have a solution to this?

Anyway to disable the autofocus for cameras?

I have a Logitech C920 webcam. It's a great camera so far for Octoprint time lapses, but the autofocus just keeps randomly trying to focus on something other than the print itself. I opened up the camera itself and tried rotating the focus ring, and while it does change the focus distance, but the autofocus still messing with the focus. Is there anyway to get this disabled? i'm not seeing anything in the octopi.txt file about an autofocus setting.
