[ Helix ] Rear camera picture malformed, but video is fine. Software or hardware problem?

Hi, it's is my first post here, so  welcome everyone
I've just purchased Helix 3702-3LO (i7, 8GB, 128GB, Win8Pro 64bits upgraded to 8.1) and today found some problem. Pictures taken by rear camera are malformed. The picture looks like:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5MpmFU1Jqq8Ym5ucGt6WDhUQXM/edit?usp=sharing
But at the same time video taken by the camera is perfect. So how do you think, is it software or hardware problem?
I've already tried refresh drivers, update what was possible to update, but still no imrovement, I still want avoid sending the computer to the service. It looks like some part of the image (bottom) is paste in the middle. Looks like codecs problem??? 
But now I'm not sure if it is only software problem or may be some how hardware (video is recorded is fine).
Thank you.

Thank you kroe, you were absolutely right!
I rolled back the driver and it's fixed now, I should think about this in first place! :-)
"Device manager" > "Imaging devices" > "AIT Webcam" > Right Mouse Button Menu > "Properties" > Tab "Driver" > "Roll back driver" > OK
and now I have, like you wrote, "Integrated Rear Camera" instead of "AIT Webcam"
And the photos are perfect now :-) Thx again.
So.. problem SOLVED! Thx

  • Helix rear camera stripes

    Rear camera is putting  a stripe in pictures. 
    Works fine for video, preview of still photos perfect.Take the picture and as the photos "swooshes" to the left, you see that the saved image has a stripe about a third of the way up.  For some reason, the saved image is copying the bottom 5% or so of the image, and "pasting" that slightly offset into the bottom third of the photo.
    Taking a PrtSc copies a perfct image into the clipboard, (includes camera icons).
    Changing image aspect, disablig Camera Plus does nothing.
    At least three other people posted on a Microsoft page about this, seems to have arrived with 8.1 upgrade.
    Tried uninstalling and reinstalling both drivers, no joy?

    Apparently I should have used the term "malformed" instead of "stripes" when searching.

  • Helix rear camera very slow

    I have the thinkpad helix for two months.  The front facing camera works fine, but rear facing camera is very slow: focus slow, and if move the camera a little, picture refreshes very very slow.
    I thought this was the problem of driver, so I updated to the latest driver yesterday. However, the problem is still there.
    This makes the camera useless.
    Do you also have this problem? Is this a hardware or software problem? How to fix this? Thanks!
    Solved!

    excactly the same to me. rear camera (if I use the 4:3-5M: Camera-Option instead of 16:9 2,1 M-Camera) it's so slow, you can't work. 16:9 is slow enough.
    I think very interesting: if you start the app "skitch" and use the camera -> it works very fast ...
    with the "normal" camera app or onenote-app it works very very slow.
    I don't understand the circumstanding ...
    some weeks ago there was an update from micrsoft -> another driver was installed and the speed was pretty good, but there was an issue, you couldn't do a foto ...
    I didn't find a newer driver for the camera - it's the driver form microsoft 2006 usb-verbundgerät - the newer driver from lenovo only replace the driver for the front camera but not for the rear camera - look at https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/X-Series-Tablet-ThinkPad-Laptops/helix-rear-camera-driverinstallation-f...

  • I've tried 2 different screen capture devices, and in both cases, audio stops recording after 20 or 30 seconds, but video is fine.  The audio disappears

    I've tried 2 different screen capture devices, and in both cases, audio stops recording after 20 or 30 seconds, but video is fine.  The audio disappears with both programs.  Does anyone know what is happening with my audio capture?

    Update, I took the webcam home over the weekend and tried on my home network and the outcome was the same video fine - audio delayed, is this a Skype for desktop issue?

  • Helix rear camera update doesn't work correctly

    The update gfc214ww.txt for the helix camera has only a correct update for the front camera - the update for the rear camera doesn't work.
    There isn't any inf-file for the 5M-rear-camera.
    After the update the version 1.0.0.78 should appear in the devicemanager, but it's the old driver from 2006 from microsoft.
    I think there is something missing in the installationfile:
    .../CAMERA/5M_Drv
    With the old driver the rear camera is very slow, like a old webcam, which show's the pictures through internet - especially it's very slow, if you change resolution to 5M.
    Is there any solution?
    Kind regard
    Dieter

    In Windows go to the control panel/system/device manager & select each of the affected devices (one at a time) and use the 'rollback to previous driver' option.

  • 920 camera AF fail but video AF work

    In some situations, my 920 cannot auto focus, where the focus frame misses at last. And it happens when the weather is nice/ day time/ all settings are auto/ the object are colourful and contrasty with surrounding/ and the lens is clean and I know the button can half press to focus.
    what is wierd is that the camera AF fail, but the VIDEO FOCUS works quite well.( links are  photo(all fail, upload 1, all the same), and video. all files just resized).

  • FLV video freezes after camera switched on but video *is* in file

    I'm baffled and any help would be great.  I had an flv recording from a webcam.  It mostly recorded fine, but there's one point where I paused the broadcast for an intermission.  A few minutes later the broadcast started again but the video doesn't play beyond that point, only audio plays.  A few minutes later in the recording the broadcast switched to another camera and the video starts playing again just fine from there.
    I can't seek past the frozen point either to skip a couple of seconds ahead.  The freeze is at about 9:00.  If I seek to 9:01 it jumps ahead 8 minutes to where the camera switches.
    What's strange in this is that the video is *definitely* in the file.  Using Moyea's FLV Editor Pro I converted the FLV to an MPEG and the whole video is there, so it's not that the camera stopped transmitting, it's just that the playback isn't working.
    Any ideas on what might cause this and (more importantly) how I might go about fixing the file?

    That's a good thought, but it doesn't seem likely.  All that happened was the stream recording was stopped and then, a few minutes later recording was resumed.
    After much fussing with it I managed to extract the video data, but there was only one app that could read it.  Moyea FLV Editor Pro had no problem reading the data and exporting it to another format.  From there I re-encoded it to FLV.  But nothing else could read it.  FLVCheck found a backwards timestamp, but nothing was able to fix that.  I've seen that many times (never exactly sure why) and it hasn't ever caused a problem like this.

  • Helix rear camera flash missing after four being sent out

    How do I get in contact with someone that can get something done correctly at Lenovo? Starting 11/24/13 we ordered a Helix Ultrabook for our company and a very pricey tablet at that. Lenovo had no problems taking our money but now after four failed attempts they still have not sent us the correct tablet. We have called and had their tech guy verify that we ordered the correct one and that it was an internal problem at Lenovo and they would get it corrected. They even refunded a around 150.00 dollars to make up for it and was going to get the correct one right out to us. That was number three that was also wrong. So we called up there and told them it was wrong again and they said they are going to get it right this time being this first invoice that we paid had the correct info on it they said it was a manufacturing issue on their end and would get back with us in 48 hours for some kind of payment for our time and to make amends. All of that being an internal problem and none of my concern I just need the product that I ordered and paid for. A company as big as they are and can't even get one order correct after four tries. One would think that someone would walk the assembly line and sign off that it is made and shipped to the specs on the invoice. 
    PLEASE SEND ME A HELIX WITH THE FLASH THAT IS ON THE SPEC AND IF YOU GOOGLE THE HELIX AND LOOK AT IMAGES IT WILL SHOW THEM WITH ONE.
    Here is the last email I got from them and never heard anything else till another incorrect tablet was delivered.
    In regards to your order, another replacement order has been created. It is order #4220484752

    First, try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose data by resetting.
    If this does not help, set it up as new device, explained here:
    How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups
    If still no luck, get it checked by visiting an Authorized Apple Service Provider or contact Apple Support to get it serviced:

    iPhone 4S brought couple of years ago, no apple warranty or AppleCare and since updating to iOS 7.0.4 there has been trouble with the rear facing camera, i dont want to go to apple store because i know that they will be like "You have to pay £200" and for me that is alot of money, now i didnt know if anyone else has the same issue as i know alot of other people are, and apple however isnt listening and needs to fix this immediately or they will lose customers.

    The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
    Restart... Reset... Restore from Backup...  Restore as New...
    Restart / Reset   >  http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    Restoring  >  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    If you try all these steps and you still have issues... Then a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is the Next Step...

  • Premiere 2014 MXF Footage Still Crashing, Glitching, Picture Freezes but Audio Plays Fine, Footage Duplicating Itself in Media Bin & Timeline - HitFilm3 pro plays fine!

    WTH is going with Premiere?  These continuing problems are just getting worse and worse. I just imported 12 hours of MXF footage at 720p and almost all the footage has duplicated itself in my media bin when I import. rather the files are there ie: AA009906.MXF, and so on numerically, but the lengths are all the same, and the picons play the exact same footage within the media bin. So I drag all the footage to the timeline where the footage is all duplicated the same amount of files there are. But not always. Also if I just drag the first file down to timeline, almost the whole disk shows up on the timeline. Finally when playing, after about a couple of minutes, the pictures freezes on some non descript frame for the rest of about 2 hours worth.  Then everything all picks up fine. Next chip of files same thing but at different places.
    What's really a hoot, is that I just downloaded a trial version of HITFILM3PRO editing software and all my footage plays just fine without any of ADOBE's glitches.  Also downloaded AVL Player for MXF files, to which everything plays just fine too.
    This is oh so ridiculous that If I weren't laughing so much right now, i'd be on the verge of a heart attack with all this Adobe Crap!
    I can't fathom why Adobe isn't paying me to be a Beta Tester, instead of me having to call my new client, Once Again, and tell them that their project is on Hold, Once again, just the same for every project ever since adobe introduced "CREATIVE CLOUD".

    That's strange. Can you upload a test file so I can try and replicate the behavior?
    You did ingest via the Media Browser after copying the camera's HD cards to your media HD right?
    What kind of camera is this?

    I don't know why, but you sure do get your fair share of issues. I would be happy to try and help you get through this if I can.

  • AirPlay:  Audio is choppy but video is fine

    Whether trying to stream via Mac mini, iPod or iPad to my Apple TV 2 the video has no problems at all but the audio is impossibly choppy.  This is the case whether using Netflix, streaming ALAC from iTunes or streaming 192kbps mp3s from iOS devices.
    There doesn't *seem* to be a connection speed issue in my home (I have FiOS and Speedtest.net confirms that speed isn't an issue). 
    Any suggestions?  I've tried updating, rebooting, and any other basic fixes but nothing helps. 
    I'd wire the connection but my receiver is a bit old for that and this room is too far from the router to hard wire.  I may try a wifi signal booster as a last ditch effort but want to avoid that until I'm sure there is a better solution that doesn't require yet more hardware.

    Like I say, there are two 24 modes on that camera. Is your sequence set up for 24fps or 29.97? Whichever one it is, try the other and see if it makes a difference.
    What were your capture settings? You need to clarify that you've captured correctly (I'm not sure whether it's possible to capture 24fps material incorrectly as I've never tried).
    The basic thing you need to do is determine whether you shot native 24 or 24 converted in camera to 30, and work forward from there.
    You might find more experts on your camera and its settings over at [www.dvinfo.net]

  • I get a black capture screen (preview), but video captures fine.  What gives?

    I get a black capture screen when capturing with CS6 on a Windows 7 machine.  I'm capturing through Firewire from DV tape, via the VCR function of a Canon XL2 camera.  I have tried restarting, etc.; also toggled the "preview video" radio from the Settings button in the capture Window.  Nothing works and I need to be able to preview my video as I'm capturing.  It is not good enough that the video actually captures fine.  Also, I am forced to turn off Device Control in order to capture because it kicks me out of every capture (an immediate message of : "no frames captured") unless I do.  Please help.

    I'm not familiar with the process of rolling back to a previous update and I assume that is what you are suggesting?  It looks like I'm running 6.05.  Are you suggesting I roll all the way back to 6.00 past 6.04. 6.03, etc? And if I do roll back, does that mean I have to completely uninstall and reinstall CS6 first?  That would be a royal pain. 
    A little more updated info:  It's not just in attempting to capture from a DV tape that I get the black capture screen, but the live firewire signal is also black, though again it actaully captures just fine, I just cannot monitor the screen while doing it. 
    And it's definitely not something physical, like a bad firewire cable, because I also have the old 2.0 version of Premiere installed on the same machine so I tried an experiment:   I open CS6, then open the capture screen (which of course remains black).  So I close CS6 and open 2.0 and then open the capture window.  It too is black.  But if I restart my machine and open 2.0 without first opening CS6, and then open the capture window, the display is just fine.  So obviosuly some service from CS6 is remaining open when I close it and thus affecting 2.0.
    This problem is really starting to irritate me.

    this is really ******* me off

    I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.
