Using the camera (select models only)

Select computer models include an integrated camera, located on the top of the display. The camera can be used with a variety of software for the following functions:

Capturing video

Streaming video with instant message software

Taking still photos

NOTE For information about using software designed for use with the integrated camera, refer to the online Help for that software.

The camera light (1) turns on when video software accesses the camera (2).

For optimum performance, observe the following guidelines while using the integrated camera:

Be sure that you have the latest version of an instant message program before attempting a video conversation.

Your integrated camera may not work properly across some network firewalls. If you are having trouble viewing or sending video to someone on another LAN or outside your network firewall, contact your Internet service provider for assistance.

Whenever possible, place bright light sources behind the camera and out of the picture area.
