Using camera gestures
Camera gestures provide a new way of interacting with your computer. You can use camera gestures to
perform some tasks using simple hand gestures instead of using the keyboard or mouse.
To turn on the camera-gestures function, tap the camera-gestures icon in the Web-conference mode.
For more information on how to display the Web-conference mode, see “Adaptive Keys overview” on page
25. When the camera-gestures function is turned on, the green camera-gesture indicator turns on. To
turn off the function, tap the icon again.
The following table lists some examples of camera gestures and the corresponding functions.
Notes:
• Some camera gestures are available only for certain applications.
• Ensure that your hand is within the camera view so that the camera can capture your hand gestures.
• When you are using the camera gestures, maintain a distance of 0.5–2 meters (19.69–78.74 inches)
between the camera and your hand.
• Your computer might look different from the following illustrations.
