Coolingtech Microscope
I recently bought a USB microscope/camera and Windows 10 is causing me some headaches.
I can't say for certain where the problem lies, but it seems to be how Windows is treating the camera, seemingly as if it's a front-facing webcam.

It's a 5MP camera, so firstly I should be getting a resolution of 2560 x 1960, yet the stock Camera app and nearly every other piece of software I have tried is limited to 2048 x 1536. I'd probably be able to get over this, except whenever I use the stock Camera app, or anything else I've tried, it seems to zoom in and/or cut off some of the picture? I'm not sure.
The software that came with the microscope gives the full resolution and field of view, but unfortunately it is generally awful software. A few other freeware apps also manage the full res, but have the same issues as the software that came with the camera. YouCam etc. all has the same problems that the stock Camera app does.
Basically, I want Windows to recognise that the device is capable of higher resolutions and stop cropping/zooming/whatever it is doing. How can I effect these changes?

edit: I was testing settings in YouCam, which lets me change the resolution (but is still capped for whatever reason) and I discovered if I set the resolution to 640 x 480 it gives me the full field of view, or doesn't crop it, or whatever it's doing. For some reason setting it to a higher capture resolution chops off a decent part of the picture, which is unacceptable.
