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 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
.
What should I do if captured images contain dropped frames and audio interruptions?
❑
The effect settings on your software application may cause dropped frames. See the help file included with your software
application for more information.
❑
There may be more software applications running than your computer can handle. Exit the applications that you are not
currently using.
❑
The power management function of your computer may be active. Check the CPU performance.
