Camera display

Hi,
I recently brought a macbook and have been experiencing problems with the built in camera. When i use photo booth i have found that i get a green screen instead of the person who is trying to take the photo. The camera is on but doesn't give me a view just the green screen and when i press capture photo, the outcome is just capture the green screen. Is there anything wrong with my macbook?

Greetings,
I have a similar situation that is peculiar - A new white Macbook, 3 days old, at various times when you turn the computer on, the green lamp next to the built it web camera at the top of the LCD display lights up for no apparent reason. There is no video that works in Photo Booth or iChat AV.
Check and see if your green light is on when you first start up, mine does that at times and Photo Booth gives me a green screen and no video/image is present.
If you shut the computer down, not log off and back on again, but shut it down, it will likely work the next time. It's not a devastating issue, but it can be annoying.
The Apple folks in this area have not heard of it yet. I will call Apple care if I have to, but I have little time to spend on hold.
This is the first real issue of any kind that I have had with a Mac in 15 or more years.
Good Luck - I posted over on the iChat AV 3.0 Forum as well.
Cheers,
M.

  • The display speakers, the camera display, and all three USB outputs in the back are not working?

    The speakers, the camera display, and all the USB outputs in the back are not working.
    I was typing a paper last night when the electricity went off, and 5min later went back on, and all the display speakers, the camera display, and all the USB outputs in the back are not working.
    FYI, it's LED Cinema display.

    Hi,
    Actually BACK is standard user command so it is not stopping and going to selection screen.

  • Camera display not working

    The camera display for the front facing (camera lens on back of camera) display stopped working on my droid razr maxx...any ideas. I did a soft boot on it, but to no avail. It was working on a few minutes before it stopped. The display for the user facing lens is working fine. The phone is only about 3 weeks old and has not been dropped. I have an Otterbox Defender case on it, but nothing appears to be blocking lens.

    Try this Go to Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > Select { All } Scroll down to Camera An clear your Data then Hit the Home Button an An see if it will start Working again.. You might have a App that is Causing the Issue Try this.. Put your Phone into Safe Mode!  then Try the Camera..

  • W540 FaceTime HD Camera (Display) Driver Not Installed

    My new W540 (11/10/2014) Lenovo Solution Center under the Check-up tab alerts me that the FaceTime HD Camera (Display) Driver is Not Installed.  Such as it is, the camera, a 720P HD, works just fine.  A search of resources does not uncover any comment or Driver on this issue.  So, since there is no problem as near as I can determine, should I just ignore the lack of Driver issue, and if so, what is the procedure to stop the Solution Center from alerting me to this error?  But if on the other hand I should install the Driver, where is that to be found?

    I'm using the W540 in the Ultra Dock with video on a second monitor, an Apple monitor, using a Thunderbolt cable.  There is no Thunderbolt port in the Dock, so I use the W540 port which surprised me that it works.
    FWIW, it is taking me a lot of time learning the location of programs and utilities having moved from my old W510 Win 7(64) setup to the W540 Win(64) 8.1 setup.

    It is not a problem with the ThinkPad's camera. It is the camera in the Apple monitor that you don't have drivers for.
    Being Apple, they might not even make driver for Windows.

    Hi Euroflier,
    Thank you for posting.  I would like to help you, but I need some more information from you to help me, or the community, determine what may be causing this.
    What operating system are you running on your computer?

  • Camera Display won't show up on Lock Screen after 5.1 update?

    I am a sprint iphone user, and I just downloaded the 5.1 update...however the camera display isn't showing up on my lock screen, is this only for AT&T users?

    And by show up I mean where it is permanently displayed on the lock screen, not where you double tap the home button. One of my friends did the update and now it is permanently there next to the slide unlock.

  • FaceTime HD Camera (Display) not working with most applications

    The Thunderbolt 27" LED Cinema displays built in camera is not working with most applications. The camera does not work with FaceTime, iChat, Skype and Google Talk. FaceTime says "There is no connected camera", even though there is. Weird thing is it DOES work at http://www.testmycam.com. I can't get it to work with any other flash based apps, just testmycam.com.
    My MacBook Pro 17" (late 2011) built in camera works perfectly with everything.
    Things I've already tried:
    - Shutdown
    - Restart
    - disconnect/reconnect
    - removing power from display
    lame, lame, lame. $1k monitor, flippin' webcam doesn't work.

    I think I have found the problem. I decided to go page by page through the forums and found this argument when running a Java program through the console:
    -Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true
    So it would be like:
    java -Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true SwingSet2
    That works flawlessly, so it has to do with direct draw (So it's either DirectX or my video card drivers which are up to date).

  • Can a digital camera display appear on iphone

    I want to mount my digital camera and then view the display with my iphone.  stated another way, i'm going to take pictures of books and i need to mount the camera way out of sight in a location where my head can't really go with ease.  i want to connect the camera to my iphone and mount the iphone right in front of me. 
    I'm going to plug the RCA video inputs into the camera with this

    then connect my iphone to the other end of that female female USB adapter above.
    Does anyone know if that will work?

  • Field of view: in the programme bigger than on the camera display

    The following problem occured:
    When I captured footage into Adobe Premiere Elements I recognized that the field of view in the programme was bigger than the one I saw on the display of my camera. I mean, there were objects in the left and in the right corner of the frame, which I did not intend to shoot (and which I did not see in the viewer, as well).
    Are there any settings I should consider?
    Any answers appreciated.

    This is fairly common. Few cameras have 100% view. Some show a bit more, but most a bit less.
    Now, depending on how you are going to output the footage, it might be no problem. If you're going to TV, via DVD, then the overscan of CRT TV's will possibly crop this extra area off. If you are not sure, or your audience will have newer LED/LCD/etc. TV's, you can do one of several things.
    1.) Keep things just as they are, and use the Garbage Matte to eliminate the offending objects. You'll end up with a bit of black, around your final image, unless you have some sort of background behind it.
    2.) Keep things just as they are, and use Crop to do about the same. Same result as above.
    3.) Use Motion Effect>Scale (and possibly a bit of Position), to enlarge the image to beyond the screen area, approximating what you saw in the viewfinder/LCD. Since you will only be doing a tiny bit of this, quality will not suffer.
    Personally, I'd use #3. Trust me, this is far easier in video, than it ever was with film. Without a good budget, it meant a re-shoot, should a mic swing into the frame, or a lightstand peek in at the corner!
    Good luck,

  • Multicam editing in premier pro cc 2014, problem with one camera display size

    Although the clip works fine in a sequence all by itself in multicam editing it is much too large and only a portion displays.  The other camera is fine.  The clips are from different types of cameras 1 is a DSLR, it displays too large, the other is a Sony PD 1570, a pro videocam  that uses tape, it displays fine.

    Have your tried re-ingesting the media.  It's possible the file(s) are corrupt.  I run into this on occasion, especially if the results shows up in the render (which is a dead give-away to file corruption) and re-ingesting fixes it.
    It's also possible that the drive the file resides on has issues as well.  Are you using a raid?  We need more information regarding the specs of your machine and process.

  • Disconnected USB Camera Displays in MAX

    I have a USB camera that shows up in NI-IMAQdx devices in MAX even after the camera is disconnected.  MAX displays the camera serial number.  When Grab is selected, get Error 0xBFF6901B timeout.
    Any ideas??

    Thanks for the update.
    -Does MAX give same error when camera connected?
    -What are the acquisition parameters?(Post screenshot when error occurs).
    -I am not sure of this. Might be MAX database got corrupted and resetting it might solve the problem. Ref following link to reset MAX http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/2C7480E856987FFF862573AE005AB0D9

  • Wvc210 camera display not working

    Hi,
    I have a wvc210, the little LCD display on the camera is not showing anything so I cannot determine what IP it is working off. The indicator lights are working and it boots up ok. 
    Any suggestions?

    Hello, 
    First of all, I'm sorry that you are having issues with the camera.
    My first recommendation if for you to contact the support center at 866-606-1866 so that we can determine if the device is under warranty and replace it.
    If that is not an option or you already know the device is out of support and since the unit is working correctly, what you can do is look into the DHCP table and find the MAC Address of the camera, that way you will now the IP address that is using and will be able to log into it.
    Also, if that is not an option, you could download a network scanner (several free on the internet, as always, Google is your friend), run the scan and find the MAC address.
    Once you found the address, log into the unit and assign a static IP address to it so you will always know how to access it.
    I hope this was helpful.
