E540 Low camera/video image quality in Win 8.1

Hi just bought this laptop.
the webcam resolution is very low. The picture looks like one the first ever webcams. Its bad.
How do i change it ?
I've tried going into the windows and lenovo settings, there is nothing to alter the actual resolution.
It has the latest Lenovo driver and everything is up to date.
I've looked at other posts on here and none of them relate to the simplified program on the E540
thanks for looking guys !!

Hi,
be sure the following drivers/applications are installed:
- Lenovo Power Management drivers
- Lenovo Settings Dependency Package
- Lenovo Dependency Package
- of course, camera drivers
- metro app from ms store - Lenovo Settings
x220 | i5-2520m | Intel ssd 320 series | Gobi 2000 3G GPS | WiFi
x220 | i5-2520m | hdd 320 | Intel msata ssd 310 series | 3G GPS | WiFi
Do it well, worse becomes itself

  • I just set up a new computer running Windows 8.1. When I go to my icloud photostream, the pictures are in PNG format NOT JPG. When I open and upload photos from the photostream, the resolution is so low that the image quality is terrible. Help?!?

    Hey Sierra, You can do just what you have stated. My question, what is your "other"? If it is over 1.5 GB you most likely have corrupt files. Doing a Restore to New, Factory restore should correct it. Just make sure you make a full backup of all information on your iPod to your computer before you restore, so you don't lose your stuff, contacts, videos, pictures, non-iTunes music, etc, use the cable and connect with your computer. Then, via cable, connect to your computer, run the Restore to new, don't use your backup. Treat this iPod as if it was your first one ever. When restore is done, set up and add what info you wish to install on this iPod. The music apps etc you purchased should be on your computer, if not you should be able to retrieve purchased apps and music from iTunes. Any music, videos, apps not purchased from iTunes will be lost to you if you do not save them to your computer or the cloud first. When your done, make a current Backup and you should good to go. Hope this helps. Good luck. Cheers.

  • Camera/Video images missing/not opening

    My camera/video stopped working about a week ago. I can take pictures and video but when I go to the gallery there are broken images and they will not open. I get a can't open message or this video can't be played. I can't upload to facebook, instagram, etc or send via mail. what I see when I open my gallery what I see when I open my camera
    what I get when I try to open a video
    I have hard reset my phone several times.

    You need to make sure that the specific camera model is supported by the version of the ACR plug-in you have installed on your machine.
    The current version of ACR (Adobe Camera Raw) is ACR 4.5 and there is also ACR 4.6beta.
    What version are you running and what camera generated your raw files?

  • Low File Size/Great Image Quality: H.264, AAC

    1. I created a slideshow in iPhoto, exported it to a QT movie file. The properties of it is as follows:
    Exibit A:
    Dimensions: 720x480
    Format: MPEG-4 Video, AAC, Stereo, 44.100kHz
    FPS: 30
    Data Rate: 7277.87 kbits/sec
    Channel Count: 2
    Duration: 02'46
    Size: 143.58MB
    2. I pulled a QT Movie file from the web with the following properties:
    Exibit B:
    Dimensions: 480x360
    Format: AAC, H.264, Stereo (LR), 48.000kHz
    FPS: 28.79
    Channel Count: 2
    Duration: 01'22
    Data Rate: 868.14 kbits/sec
    Size: 8.5MB
    3. I tried to see if I could compress my movie and keep the quality as comparible to Exibit B. Here's what I ended up with:
    Exibit C:
    Dimensions: 720x480
    Format: AAC, H.264, Stereo (LR), 44.100kHz
    FPS: 30
    Data Rate: 4826.73 kbits/sec
    Channel Count: 2
    Duration: 02'46
    Size: 95.22MB
    4. I tried again. This time creating the same dimension as Exibit B. Here what I got:
    Exibit D:
    Dimensions: 480x360
    Format: AAC, H.264, Stereo (LR), 44.100 kHz
    FPS: 30
    Data Rate: 2577.17 kbits/sec
    Channel Count: 2
    Duration: 02'46
    Size: 51MB
    How can I create a very low size and image quality as Exibit B?
    I have QTPro. Do I need something else?
    Thanks.

    Update:
    Well playing all exibits on the Windows workstation worked just fine after the update. I now has QT7.
    Next...I've exported Exibit A down to 8MB (Exitbit F)by recommendations from Capt. QTKirk. Here are the properties:
    Exibit F:
    Format: AAC, Stereo (LR), 32.000kHz, H.264, 720x480, Millions
    FPS: 15
    Data Size: 8.5MB
    Data Rate: 429.79kbits/sec
    Overall Quality:
    Video: Fair at 720x480; much better at 486x324; overall choppy transitions as well
    Audio: Fair -close to mono.
    Anyone else have any suggestions?
    How and what are others using to get the audio/video quality as crisp and sharp as what's shown in the QT Movie Trailer site?

  • Using a lower third video file

    I have been putting lower thirds on my video without any trouble.  My lower thirds have been jpeg images.  I simple drag them onto the timeline and they lay right over my main video.
    My trouble now is, I've just obtained an animated lower third that is not a picture file, but a movie file.  When I lay it on the time line it doesn't lay on top of my main video, but rather blanks it out.
    I tried the video merge option, but it leaves some moving black pixels around the lower third image.
    How can I lay one video (my lower third video image) over my main video?
    Thanks,
    Matthew

    Hi Matthew,
    Sounds like the video doesn't have a transparent background.
    What format is the file?  It should be Uncompressed AVI to work well in Premiere Elements.
    The video needs to have preserved the transparent Alpha channel.
    We have many of these types of lower thirds and motion backgrounds at muvipix.com and I have created many of them myself.
    Depending on what format the file is will tell us something that may help.

  • How can I lower the image quality on a streaming online video

    Hi,
    I have an old iMac G3 with 500 Mhz Power PC and 1 gig of RAM  and running Tiger OS 10.4.11
    I am trying to watch online streaming news through http://www.rentadrone.org but it is, of course, jerky playback.
    My issue is that adobe flash will not let me change the quality of the video to low because the option is grayed out.
    I know that this iMac was prior to videos becoming common online and I know that I have to sacrifice video quality.
    I can play youtube videos well, as in not jerky, in the 240 image quality and wanted to be able to do this through
    other websites with video. I have disabled Dashboard to gain CPU, tried to play the video through Realplayer and
    changed my Display from millions of color to thousands but I haven't been able to stop the jerking on the video.
    Is there a workaround or other solution?
    Thank you in advance for any suggestions or help.

    Each video website has its own controllers over how much choice you have over quality of streaming.
    However, as you use Real Player, you could wait until the video finishes downloading, then click 'Download' in the RealPlayer Download Agent window and watch it offline, when it should play smoother.

  • Live Cam Voice on HP DV8305 -- Video image very slow

    I installed Live! Cam Voice on my HP DV8305 succussfully, it works, but the video image is very slow. it needs about 30sec to capture a frame, sometime just stucked. I changed the Display Adaptive Driver, used differrent USB IF, checked my CPU and Memery usage, my HD space, use differrent IM -- skype, MSN, .... Any one can help?

    As further information, the issue seems to be with the exposure setting. When I turn auto exposure off, then set exposure down as low as it will go, the picture darkens, but the frame rate goes up. I don't have this problem with my Logitech QuickCam Orbit -- I'm not sure if the problem is with the firmware, or if the CMOS sensor in the Live! Cam Voice is just smaller.

  • Satellite S70-A-11H web camera image quality is not good

    Hi,
    Running windows 8.1 which came with the laptop.
    New out of the box.
    As per title.
    I find the image quality of the camera image to be very grainy, poor color etc.
    When I start the web camera using the search bar on the right, it starts using the Microsoft application, when you scroll down to settings all that is available under settings/options is Photo aspect ratio, Grid lines, Location info.
    I have been in touch with Toshiba Tech support who advised to do a Laptop refresh, which I did.
    This made no difference.
    After which they asked me to find the Toshiba web camera application on the laptop, this should have been in the Program Files folder in the Toshiba folder.
    This application does not exist on my laptop.
    The tech checked the same model laptop that he had available, which I was told when he selected the web camera, it opened using the Toshiba Web camera application, not Microsoft.
    I have looked at other Toshiba laptops with web cameras, and found the image quality to be better. Unable to get to settings as these laptops were on display and in demo mode, hence locked down to some extent.
    I can't believe that a web camera in this day and age for this value of laptop to have such poor image quality. My digital camera from 10year ago has better image quality.
    I have checked through the laptop, and I do not have this application installed.
    I have checked for updated drivers and software for my laptop, and cannot find this application to be applicable for my laptop. Drivers etc appear to be up to date.
    I would like to know, do other users of this S series have any issue of camera image quality.
    When the camera is selected what application is being used, Toshiba or Microsoft.
    Is Toshiba web camera application applicable to Windows 8.1, as I cannot see it listed for 8.1
    Does this sound like a hardware fault or a application/software issue.
    Any direction or help on this matter would be appreciated, as I am getting to the point of returning this laptop for a refund.
    Thanks in advance.
    D.
    Yes, I have tried using the FORCE!

    > The tech checked the same model laptop that he had available, which I was told when he selected the web camera, it opened using the Toshiba Web camera application, not Microsoft.
    The Toshiba webcam application is available for Win 7 system but the Win 8 and Windows 8.1 system use the own Microsoft webcam application.
    > I have looked at other Toshiba laptops with web cameras, and found the image quality to be better.
    Different Toshiba notebooks are equipped with different webcams.
    Satellite S70-A-11H was equipped with a *0.92 mega pixel webcam*
    A Satellite A660 for example was equipped with an _1.3M mega pixel webcam_
    So there is a difference in webcam resolution

  • Pearl 8220 camera image quality is poor, poor, poor

    The photo image quality of the camera on my BB Pearl 8220 is extremely grainy and dark.
    I understand this is a cell phone camera and expectations are low to begin with, but this is unacceptably low quality.  The flash appears to function properly but that doesn't matter because the image quality is poor even for pictures taken in full sunlight.  
    Are there camera adjustments or settings that I haven't found that can remedy this problem?  The ones I HAVE found have had no effect.
    Thanks for any help.

    i've taken some good pics with our phones...
    I did notice that you need to be extremely steady (no built in "camera shake"), but other than that, its all been good. 
    I used the options to make the pics as large as possible too; but I do that with our digital camera as well.  I use Paint Shop to edit them on our PC.
    Where there is a will, there is a way...
    If there is no way; there is always a bigger hammer.

  • Low image quality on Android using CameraRoll.addBitmapData

    When using CameraRoll.addBitmapData on Android the resulting .jpg's quality is quite low in what looks like 50% jpg compression. In iOS the quality is much better. How do I reduce the compression on Android and increase the image quality? I don't quite understand why the compression is so high and why there isn't a method argument to adjust it.
    Is there a work-around?
    My app is an art app that users typically export imagery from to use in other apps or share. When the quality is so low, the additional compression in another app makes it even worse.
    Any help is apprecaited it. Thanks in advance.

    As DPI, or PPI, are meaningless in Video, one should concentrate on the pixel x pixel dimensions. Also, with the exception of PrPro CS5 & 5.5, with CUDA/MPE acceleration, Scaling of stills in an image editing program, like Photoshop, will yield better quality. This ARTICLE goes into more detail, and also gives tips on doing batch Scaling of entire folders of still images for Video use.
    Good luck,

  • When using Lightroom Book module for Blurb book making, why do I keep getting a low image quality message if it's supposedly accessing my large raw files in my library?

    When using Lightroom Book module for Blurb book making, why do I keep getting a low image quality message if it's supposedly accessing my large raw files in my library?

    I think I've solved my problem with a Google Search. I came across a free slide show generator
    (contributions requested) that shows much higher quality slide shows than either iPhoto or Aperture 3.
    You click on a folder of jpegs and it almost immediately generates thumbnails and within a few seconds
    I can be viewing a full screen, tack sharp, slideshow of all of the files in the folder. Much sharper than
    I'm used to seeing.
    I think I'll keep the Aperture 3 and use if for the purpose it's intended for in the future. I'll also redo the
    image preview files to the small size it started with and then I'll copy all of the files I'm interested in from
    iPhoto into a separate folder on another disk. I'll use Aperture to catalog and to perform image manipulations
    on but I won't try to use it as an iPhoto replacement. I don't think I'll be using iPhoto much as an image
    viewer in the future either after I finish moving my favorite pictures to the Phoenix Slides folder.
    The name of the free program is Phoenix Slides. It's free to download and try, free to keep (though I
    think you'd want to pay the small amount requested) and fast. My pictures have never looked so good
    before.

  • I'm thinking of using Final Cut Pro to straighten slightly crooked footage and then re-import back to iMovie to complete the video. Does this have any impact on image quality?

    As your rotate the image, you will begin to see black edges. So, as Tom implies, the image must be scaled up to hide those voids. If you shot 4k ad are editing in a HD timeline, no problem, lots of room to spare. If you shot 1080 and are editing in a 1080 timeline, you will run into issues at a certain point. However, if your 1080 project is going to be transcoded to 720 or ye olde DVD you won't notice any deterioration at all.

  • Image quality in Preview is extremely low

    Hello,
    I just recently switched to Mac from PC. Since using this Mac, I have had some issues with image quality. At first I thought it was just Photoshop, but I realized that the standard OS preview is also having display issues.
    Basically, if I open an image in preview or in Photoshop to edit, the quality is low, but when I go to "save for web" and view it in the preview box, it looks perfectly normal. Website images look normal, and everything else that is vector looks normal. It's only pictures that are having this issue.
    I have no idea what would cause preview images and photoshop files to look like this.
    Here is a link to a picture of the problem. The left side is what the image looks like in Photoshop (and Preview) and the right side is the "save for web" box showing it looks normal.
    Thanks in advance for any help or guidance someone may be able to offer.

    Just the opposite on my Mac.

  • Low image quality in pics

    Hi: I have a ipad 2 and when taking are blurry photos in low image quality. I have to do something to improve the image quality?
    I wait your comments...Thanks.

    Two main points:
    1.  Use good lighting.
    2.  Remember the photo is actually taken when you release the shutter ("take photo") button.  Make sure you do not move the iPad when you release the button.

  • Image quality after opening from camera RAW

    Why does the image quality seem to get worse in Elements 11 once the image is opened up after editing from Camera RAW?  The image looks great in the RAW screen, then once opened in Photo editor it seems pixelated, smooth lines look jagged.  Is it something I am doing wrong?

    Try viewing at 25%, 50% or 75%
