If the room is dark, set the camera brightness to a high number so the camera takes in more light. The default is 11.

To set the camera brightness:

1.Select System from the Place a Call screen.

2.Select User Settings from the System screen.

3.Scroll to Camera Brightness, press , and select the brightness level.
