Camera Software for T400

#1 Post by Amazingracer » Fri Feb 26, 2010 4:05 pm

I have the driver successfully installed for the integrated camera in my T400, however I was wondeirng if there was supplemental software for the camera (Like with Logitech Cameras) where you can adjust camera settings, take pictures, set a picture as the camera view, etc. Basically the generic software that comes with every other Webcam. I search lenovo's site and could only find the generic camera drivers.

Any ideas if such a thing exists?

NOPE & NONE !!! ....... hows that for short Answer lol !!!

Normally you can access the "Camera" via Skype ; yahoo messenger or Windows Live messenger etc software.....

I think Lenovo ment to LIMIT the camera to a 'video conferance' type apps only etc ,,,,,Skype works nicely with Win7 x64 on mine

I can change camera settings on my 400s with Fn+F6, but there's nothing preloaded, that I've found, that lets you take pictures. You need third party software for that.

It seems to me that you can take pictures and make videos using Roxio Creator Business Edition, which should be preloaded on your T400. At least this is the case with my T500.

Well thats a bummer. I was hoping for something to be able to freeze the image or put up a picture as the image the webcam displays (called "window shade" by some software). Oh well. Thanks guys.
