Through the software Cheese or other softwares in the Software Center, I can't take photos with the resolution 5 mega-pixels, can't use motion-detect,pan,tilt and zoom.Is it possible to use these c310's features under Ubuntu? I think, the reason why I can't use is related to the driver linux uses, not to the softwares.Therefore, is there any other driver for linux to use the c310's features especially taking 5mp photos?

Don't be fooled by the specs.
This camera does not have the features you mention. And don't be fooled by the specs Logitech provides you. It's all software.
E.g.:
Photos: Up to 5 megapixels (software enhanced)
The camera's sensor is just 1280x720, so good luck in taking 5MP pictures. It'll just be a fuzzy blown up thing in Windows.
Logitech webcam software:
- Pan, tilt, and zoom controls
- Video and photo capture
- Face tracking
- Motion detection
This is all just software enhancements as well (fake!). It does not have a zoom lens, it does not have a servo motor to pan/tilt, it does not move on face movements, etc.
