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 80).
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.
