Built-in camera?

Hey all, I have a Thinkpad W510 4318-CTO running under Windows 7 64-bit. I ordered the computer with a built-in camera, and I can't make it work, everyone. It will not be displayed in the list of devices, I can't find the drivers for it on the site, and I spent hours to understand what to do without a solution. If I open the communication parameters, a camera image appears next to "Device settings", so I know SOMETHING is there. I can't take only in fact images or video.

What could happen here?

You have loaded any software that uses the webcam?  I also have a W510 with built-in camera.  I can make the camera settings and see an example of image by pressing Fn + F6.  AFAIK there is no software preloaded for the camera.  I am able to use it as a webcam with Yahoo IM.

I heard that yawcam is a decent free software to capture video or photos of the camera.  I think it's www.yawcam.com.

I hope this helps.

    Hi qwertz123,

    Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.

    When you try to make a video call, you get error messages? The button is grayed out? It asks you to pay such as discussed in this thread?

    A screenshot would be great if you get the error messages.

  • ThinkCentre E73z built-in camera cannot be used in Skype

    Hello

    I just finished the complete update of the preinstalled windows7 Professional on my new ThinkCentre E73z. It is the first use.

    I am very disappointed. When I installed Skype it is said that Skype can not detect any Webcam. They offer to buy a.

    When I opened the new computer package he had "user brief noctices" paper and it indicates that there is a camera on the front. This is a mistake and actually ThinkCentre E73z doesn't have a built-in camera or this camera is not equivalent with a webcam?

    It's my first Lenovo. Maybe I should take it back to the shop and ask for my refund. What is going on?

    Lenovo has preinstalled this windows 7 Professional. They built in a camera, but forgot to install a driver for their hardware?

    Really? The customer must install the driver? And who?

    I'm puzzled with her.

    I came across this from camera first, what else, more serious things can I expect later?

    In any case, can you give me your opinion what do I do?

    By using the Device Manager in Win7, how do I know that there is a camera or not?

    Micro hardware and camera are missing from this computer. It's the final explanation.

  • Built-in camera does not

    Hello, the camera on my T-530 does not work. I made a thread on this issue on the Microsoft support site, but I was not able to solve the problem. http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/windows8_1-hardware/built-in-webcam-not-working-COR...

    When I try to capture video with a program, all I get is this symbol:

    He does it with all the programs I tried like camera, Windows Movie Maker and Skype. Programs can even record video clips and save them, but the only thing that appears is the symbol.

    I tried to change my permission settings. I give you permission to use the built-in camera in Skype, but it does not help. For some reason any I don't have any option to give permission of camera or Movie Maker.

    I have also reinstalled the driver for my camera. Then I ran the center of Lenovo and Lenovo Thinkvantage System Update solutions and put updated everything I could.

    In accordance with the notice that I got from Microsoft technical support I ran hardware troubleshooting, installed all Windows updates I could get, reinstalled the driver for the camera in compatibility mode and updated my BIOS driver.

    After all that, it still doesn't. Any help would be really appreciated!

  • How / can I use the built in camera on Asus laptop to take pictures?

    I don't know if you can answer this question, but I will ask the case. I have an Asus laptop running windows 7. I noticced theres a webcam above the screen, but I can't find a way to activate it in order to download and send photos. I searched for at least a few hours which made me curious of if the Asus laptop can even take pictures, or if the unit is only for VideoChat?

    To use the web cam, you have 2 options.

    option 1

    * Go to www.picanom.com

    * Click on allow if a box appears

    * Click on the snap

    Review of the photos that you took and click on save or print in the upper left corner of the image.

    * After clicking on save, click Download.  She will appear next to the "print" key.

    Option 2

    You must have the software to use the webcam.  I searched in google and foundhttp://www.yawcam.com/download.php as the best free software.

    Also, I found this one if you do not want to install a program.  You just download this, but you don't have to install it.  It would have been my choice #1, but it appears that half of my webcam, as something was covering the other half.  It took good pictures, but with a built-in cam, it sucks because actually you have to be sitting on the side to be centered.  You can try it on your PC, it can run different.  I have a Mac Book Pro with boot camp installed running under windows 7.  This is maybe why it did not work for me http://www.softpedia.com/get/Internet/WebCam/Rebellious-Productions-CamSnap.shtml

    Original title: built in webcam 1.3

    Hi, Nancy,.

    Control Panel > add a device

    Windows will search for devices connected to your system, but not installed. Click on the name of the webcam which shows in the search box and then click "next".

    Choose whether you want Windows to search for the device driver webcam using Windows Update on the Internet, or if you prefer research of Device Manager to the driver using a disc provided by the manufacturer of your laptop. Most of the drivers are on the system recovery disk included with your laptop, if you choose to add the driver from the disk. Check the box of your choice, then click on "next >" to continue.

    Wait while Windows searches from the driver using Windows Update, if that is your choice. There's an active Internet connection for Windows to do successfully. Allow the computer to install the driver and then restart the system for the webcam to be recognized by the system.

    Otherwise, you can use the system recovery disk or a driver downloaded directly from the manufacturer of your laptop to install the driver without using search Windows Update.

    Open the CD/DVD-ROM drive and insert the disc of recovery system or place the driver downloaded from the manufacturer in a directory of files easily accessible on your PC, or on the desktop, or in your 'My Documents' folder.

    Choose the option 'install the software automatically (recommended)' into the application 'Add a device', then press on "Next >" to start looking for your webcam driver. The Hardware Wizard will search the system recovery disk and automatically installs the driver. Press 'Finish' to close the wizard, and then restart the computer to allow the recognition of the webcam. Choose the option "Install the software manually" in order to access the location of the driver where you saved the driver and install it from there. Use the open file manager and search for the driver. Click on the ' next > ' button to install the driver, and then restart the computer to add webcam functionality. -ehow.com

  • Sony Vaio-how disable built in microphone and start built in camera

    Problems with microphone and camera after Windows 7 upgrade.

    Since the upgrade to Windows 7 on my Sony Vaio, I can't turn off microphone, or turn on my built in camera. Does anyone have an idea how I can solve these two issues?

    Hello
     
     
    1. have you installed the audio drivers after the upgrade to Windows 7?
    2. what happens when you try to use the webcam?
     
     
    Method 1.
    If your computer is having problems with a recently installed device or other hardware, try to use the hardware and peripheral troubleshooting tool to solve the problem. It checks the common issues of interest and ensures that a new device or hardware connected to your computer has been installed correctly.
    Refer to the article below for the procedure:
    Open the hardware and devices Troubleshooter
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/open-the-hardware-and-devices-Troubleshooter
     
    Method 2.
    I also ask you to install the latest drivers for your laptop from the Sony site and check.
