Using the integrated camera
If your computer has an integrated camera, when you press Fn+F6 to open the Communications settings
window, the camera will be launched and the green camera-in-use indicator will turn on automatically. In
the Communications settings window, you can preview your video image and take a snapshot of your
current image.
You also can use the integrated camera with other programs that provide features such as photographing,
video capturing, and video conferencing. To use the integrated camera with other programs, open one of the
programs and start the photographing, video capturing, or video conferencing function. Then, the camera
will start automatically and the green camera-in-use indicator will turn on. For more information about using
the camera with a program, refer to the documentation that came with the program.
If you do not want the camera to be launched automatically when you press Fn+F6 or when you use a
program, press Fn+F6 to open the Communications settings window and click the

Adjusting the video output of your camera
You can adjust the quality of the video output of your camera by changing the settings for image quality and
frame rate in the camera properties window. The following values are available:
Speed Priority:
This is the default setting. It gives you a faster frame rate for the best real-time video
conferencing during the day. However, at night or in a dark environment, the image does not have the
best quality.
Balance:
This gives you a balance between speed and image quality. The image obtained at night or in a
dark environment is better than with Speed Priority.
Image quality priority:
This gives you a high-quality video and the best image at any time of the day. The
image is very clear even at night or in a dark environment, but at the expense of frame rate. The video
streaming might slow down.
