Using the Built-in MOTION EYE Camera
Your computer may be equipped with a built-in
MOTION EYE
camera. See the online specifications to find out whether your
model is equipped with the built-in
MOTION EYE
camera.
The built-in
MOTION EYE
camera adds video functionality to instant messaging software and video editing software and
enables you to capture still images and movies with the preinstalled image capture software.
Turning on the computer activates the built-in
MOTION EYE
camera. Video conference is possible with the appropriate
software.
Note that launching or exiting your instant messaging or video editing software does not activate or deactivate the built-in
MOTION EYE
camera, respectively.
✍
The built-in
MOTION EYE
camera cannot be shared by more than one software application. If another software application is using the camera, exit the
application before using the built-in
MOTION EYE
camera with your desired application.

The viewer window may show some noise, for example horizontal streaks, if you view a rapid-moving object. This is normal and does not indicate a
malfunction.
You cannot operate the built-in
MOTION EYE
camera with the
Microsoft Windows Movie Maker
