RedM Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 My sister has just rung me to ask how to get the webcam app on here new laptop to display. She can start the camera by pressing fn+f7 and this turn the light on and off but she doesn't get a program that opens so she can see what the camera sees and do other stuff like actually taking a picture. It has Win 7 but she can't find the software and there is no manual either. A quick net search suggests that Win7 may not have drivers for the camera but considering how long it has been out I'd be amazed if that was correct. So, where would the software be if installed and if there is none, where can she get a free webcam download? Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted January 24, 2011 Author Share Posted January 24, 2011 Apparently it doesn't have dedicated webcam software so can anyone recommend a program that'll show what the cam sees in a window along with some controls for taking pics, switching to video mode etc?
