Troubleshooting > Built-in Camera n 132 N 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 114). 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.
