Hi, I have had a w7 for a couple months and have just started to use the webcam.

Anyways, the pics and videos that I take with the webcam appear to be 640x480 (0.3 mega pixels). However, it says that I can take 1.3 megapixel pictures which is 1280×960? Does anyone know how? Ive only tried the built in windows software for pics

thanks

hey guys, sorry i have no solution, however i was wondering if this webcam on the w7 rotates. i.e. you can physically rotate the camera to face outward and be taking pictures of things infront of you.

damn.. i was thinking that my camera was pretty good quality as well...and now i realise its not even 1.3mp!!! 1.3mp is equal to 1280x1024 right? damn thats a long way away...=\

Mmm. i just found something..
under the control panel > scanners and cameras > the properties of the camera ..
theres a picture size setting... although on my laptop its empty...

Somewhat off-topic, but I didn't see any W7J reviews here. Can someone point me to one?

Yeah, that's what I get in the properties menu too.

The video is not bad at 640x480, but it doesn't make sense that the pictures would be the same resolution too.

zdvil: no the webcam doesn't rotate like in the W5 series
DDDa: there's a lot of reviews of the W7 at notebookreview

I FINALLY FOUND IT!!!!
http://support.asus.com/faq/faq.aspx...-us&model=A6Ja
Solves it all, if that link doesnt work, here's what it says :


Quote:
A6 built in webcam module does support 1.3 mega pixels.
But ASUS utility does not support resolution 1280*1024 except 640*480.
We recommend you download AMCAP to see the effect of 1.3 mega pixels.

Once AMCAP is installed, please go to
Options -> Video Capture Pin...-> Color Space/Compression (select YUY2) -> Output Size (choose 1280X1024)

Anyone know where to get a full version of amcap? I keep finding demo versions...

don't know which this is (full or demo), but Google came up with this: http://www.free-codecs.com/download/AMCap.htm
