Using your camera

Your computer has an integrated, front-facing camera.  You can use the camera to preview your video image and take a  snapshot of your current image.  

To access: Open the Start menu and click Camera from the apps list.

You also can use the camera with other programs that provide features such as photographing, video capturing, and video conferencing. To use the camera with other programs, start one of the programs and start the photographing, video capturing, or video conferencing function. Then, the camera starts automatically and the camera-in-use indicator turns on in green. For more information about using the camera with a program, refer to the help information system of the program.

Using a flash media card

Your computer has a media card reader slot, and it supports the following types of cards: 

• MultiMedia (MMC) module
• Secure Digital (SD) card
• Secure Digital eXtended-Capacity (SDXC)
• Secure Digital High-Capacity (SDHC) card

Note: Your computer does not support the CPRM feature for the SD card.

Attention: While transferring data to or from a flash media card, such as an SD card, do not put your computer into sleep or hibernation mode before the data transfer completes; otherwise, your data could become damaged.

Installing a flash media card

Attention: Before you start installing a card, touch a metal table or a grounded metal object. This action reduces any static electricity from your body. Static electricity could damage the card.

To install a flash media card:  Locate the media card slot on your computer. (See “Left-side view” page.) Ensure that the metal contacts of the card are facing down and pointing toward the media card slot. 3. Press the card firmly into the media card slot.

Removing a flash media card

Attention:

• Before removing a card, stop the card first. Otherwise, data on the card might get damaged or lost.

• Do not remove a card while the computer is in sleep mode or hibernation mode. Otherwise, the system might not respond when you try to resume operation.

To remove a flash media card:

1. Click the triangular icon in the Windows notification area to show hidden icons. Then, right-click the Safely Remove Hardware and Eject Media icon.

2. Select the item you want to remove to stop the card.

3. Press the card to eject it from your computer.

4. Remove the card and store it safely for future use. Note: If you do not remove the card from your computer after you eject the card from the Windows operating system, the card can no longer be accessed. To access the card, you must remove it once, then insert it again.
