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.
❑
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 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.
❑
If the lens protection cover is dirty, you cannot take a clear shot. Clean the cover. See Built-in Camera (page 93) .
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.
