Camera
Surface has two cameras. You can use the front-facing camera for a Skype video chat with a friend, and the rear-
facing camera to record meetings and events. When Surface is positioned on a desk using the first kickstand
position (the more upright position), the rear-facing camera points straight ahead.
Record video in 1080p HD, with a 16:9 aspect ratio (widescreen) with either camera. Take photos with either
camera, too. The front-facing camera is 3.5 megapixels and the rear-facing camera is 5.0 megapixels.
Both cameras are fixed focus, so you don't need to worry about focusing. A privacy light appears when either
camera is on, so there are no surprises.
Record videos and take photos
The Camera app is pre-installed on Surface or you can use another camera app from the
Windows Store (search for Camera in the Store app). The following info is for the Camera
app.
To take a photo or record a video:
Open the Camera app, and then tap the on-screen Photo button
button
.
Tip When you're recording video, you can tap anywhere on the screen to take a picture without stopping the
recording.
