Built-In Motion Eye Camera - Sony VGN-CR31E/L User Manual

Built-in MOTION EYE Camera

Why does the viewer window show no images or poor-quality images?
❑ The built-in MOTION EYE camera cannot be shared by more than one software application. If another software
application is using the camera, exit the application before using the built-in MOTION EYE camera.
❑ The video memory of your computer may have become insufficient for displaying images from the built-in MOTION EYE
camera. Lowering the resolution or reducing the colors of the LCD screen might help.
❑ The viewer window may show some noise, for example horizontal streaks, if you view 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 lamp may show reflection of the 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 On Using the Built-in MOTION
EYE Camera (page 135).
Why do captured images contain dropped frames and audio interruptions?
❑ The effect settings on your software application may have caused dropped frames. See the help file on 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 have been activated. Check the CPU performance.
