Sony Vaio Bad Web Camera Quality

[Shaaun]

Hi There,
i just recently bought a Sony Vaio C Series Laptop which is green, I use the web camera alot such for skype, msn etc. Well it says on the label where the webcamera is saying HD Web Camera Powered by Exmor. Now, at night my webcamera is really DARK and even if i sit under a light it doesnt help as much. My web cam does not look anything near HD. But i don't know if there is any settings or adjustments?

Cheers,
Shaun Bowers

Although this Microsoft hotfix is for Vista I would imagine it would be OK for Windows 7 as well.

It can't hurt to give it a try, just create a system restore point first, in case you need to undo the fix.

You may find some support here too:

And don't forget, as it is a new computer, it'll be under warranty, so you could also ask Sony to sort it out for you.
