Webcam Colours Really Messed Up

[Vince4Amy]

I found an old webcam which I used to use on Windows before it started reporting the hardware as faulty and would not recognize it any longer.

Today I got it out so I could try it on Ubuntu just so I know that the hardware really is broken and it's not just Windows reporting that it is. I plugged it in on Hardy and it was auto detected. lsusb reports the following information from it.

Bus 003 Device 002: ID 0ac8:305b Z-Star Microelectronics Corp. ZC0305 WebCam

However when I go to view the webcam in Camorama Webcam Viewer the colours are completely messed up. For example blue shows as yellow. There are no settings which I have changed so I'm guessing the camera really is broken like Windows reports or the driver is incorrect.

Hi,
Before you bin it right click effects and add color correction filter,
I had to do this on a Logitech webcam.
