Using the Cameras
The L10 tablet includes front and back cameras.
It is necessary to use an application to enable either of the cameras. Applications that record video or perform
video conferencing will recognize these cameras and enable them as required.
For details about the Camera application, see Camera on page 71 of the Applications chapter.
Front Camera
The front camera is a 5-megapixel camera that supports color images and streaming video. It’s on the front of the
tablet so it can be used for web-based audio/video communication, such as the Skype
®
application.
Rear Camera
Use the rear camera to take pictures or videos and save them to your hard drive. The rear camera is a
13-megapixel, autofocus camera. The camera lens is on the back of the tablet and includes a light to illuminate the
subject.
Rear Camera Tips
• Hold the camera steady and give it a few seconds to focus.
• If your pen is tethered, ensure that the tether is not in front of the camera lens.
• If a soft handle is attached, ensure it is being held away from the camera lens.
• Make sure you have adequate lighting to take your photo. If not, use the flash.
