Otherwise it is recommended to have at least 50-70mA at 1.5V(that's the typical voltage for SPH485P) for an unmodded webcam. I have pretty much the same setup with you, I'm using 9V battery and have 75Ohms, 0.5watts power rating and 1% tolerance of resistor. 75mA is a bit too high IMO. Maybe the guys out there could give a better opinion to prove I'm wrong. Hope that helps.

SFH485P max rating at continuous current use (thats the case in all freetrack setups) are : forward current : 100 mA forward voltage : 1.5v (and not 3V) 3V is the forward voltage of this led , when pulse driven at 1A !!! cya

I'm using 3 Volt battery supply and 4 parallel LEDS: R=15 ohms P=0,15 W as page 9 of the LED manaul. cheers.
