Capture On Surface Pro

Surface cameras

Surface has not just one, but two integrated LifeCam cameras. You can use the front camera to have a video chat with a friend, or the rear-facing camera to record meetings and events hands-free. You can also use either camera to take photos.

A privacy light appears on Surface when either camera is active, so there are no surprises. Both cameras are fixed focus, so you don’t need to worry about focusing. The cameras capture video in 720p HD, with a 16:9 aspect ratio.
Both cameras take photos and record videos. The rear camera is angled to point straight ahead when Surface is resting on its kickstand or when you hold your Surface at a viewing angle that’s comfortable for your wrists.

The front camera points up at your face for optimal video calling.

Surface cameras FAQ

Here are answers to some common questions about using the two Surface cameras and the built-in Camera app.

• How do I get started using the cameras?
• Why can I take photos but not videos (or the reverse)?
• Is the camera facing the wrong way?
• Why does the camera angle seem wrong?
• How do I turn off the camera click?
• Can I use both cameras at the same time?
• How do I turn off the camera privacy light?
