Built-in Camera

Why does the viewfinder show no images or poor-quality images?

❑ The built-in camera cannot be shared by more than one software application. Exit the current application before launching 

another. On models with Media Gallery, you cannot use another camera application that uses the built-in camera while 
using the gesture function of Media Gallery.

❑ The viewfinder may show some noise, for example horizontal streaks, when you are viewing a rapid-moving object. This 

is normal and does not indicate a malfunction.

❑ If the problem persists, restart your computer.

 

Why is the video input from the built-in camera suspended for a few seconds?

The video input may be suspended for a few seconds if:
❑ a shortcut key with the Fn key is used.
❑ the CPU load increases.
This is normal and does not indicate a malfunction.

 

Why are captured images poor in quality?

❑ The images captured under the fluorescent light may show reflections of light.
❑ A dark portion in captured images may appear as a noise.
❑ The area on and around the built-in camera is dirty. Clean the area. See Care and Maintenance Information
