Often, owners of mobile computers from a leading Taiwanese manufacturer have the following question: "How to turn the camera on a laptop" ASUS "in a normal position?" This article will step by step explain how to solve this problem. Moreover, to cope with this task is not difficult, and this can be done even by the strength of a novice user.
Causes
How to flip the camera on a laptop "ASUS"? Most often, such a task arises either after updating the operating system, or with a random software flip of the laptop screen. In the first case, the driver (the program that controls the operation of this device) is not correctly installed on the webcam. In such a situation, you need to remove such software and install the one that the device manufacturer recommends on the official website. But if you accidentally rotate the picture on the monitor screen, you need to find out the manufacturer of the installed video card. Then, using special key combinations or the control panel of the graphic adapter, expand the picture on the display to its original position. Both the first and second cases will be considered in detail in the framework of this article.
When rotating an image
Starting with the Windows 7 operating system, all the leading manufacturers of graphic adapters have reserved special keyboard shortcuts for turning the screen . Therefore, in the process of communicating on Skype, for example, you can accidentally click on a similar combination and expand the picture on the screen. The result is a situation where the webcam on the laptop will be upside down. Using a similar combination, the image can be returned to its original state. For Intel products, for example, the combination “Ctrl” + “Shift” and the cursor keys are used. But it is much easier to resolve this issue using the video card control panel. The algorithm for solving this problem in this case is as follows:
- We close all programs and look at the desktop. It should be turned upside down as well as the image received from the webcam.
- Hover over the taskbar. It is in the part where the active tasks are located. In the usual orientation, this is the lower right corner, and when turning upside down, you get the upper left.
- We expand the list of active tasks. To do this, press the left button on the triangle once.
- Then you need to expand the control panel of the video card in the same way. Each manufacturer has it “hidden” behind a special icon. Intel has a black monitor, NVIDIA has a green logo for this company, and AMD has a red label with a company name.
- In the list that opens, select the "Graphics Settings" section. Next, you need to expand the “Turn” item and select “Normal View” in the list that opens.
After that, the image on the screen should return to its original state.
How will be correct?
Any webcam on an ASUS laptop runs on drivers. If the wrong version is installed, the image will be turned upside down. In this case, you must remove them and put those that are recommended on the official website. Since there are several options proposed, then you can’t do without manual selection. Therefore, you will have to perform this operation several times until the desired result is achieved. The procedure for uninstalling drivers is as follows:
- We call the context menu on the “My Computer” icon with the right button of the manipulator.
- In the list that appears, select "Properties".
- In the right column of the window that opens, select "Device Manager".
- Then go to the "Image Processing Devices" section.
- We select our webcam and call the context menu for it in the previously described way. As in the previous case, select the "Properties" item.
- Then in the window that opens, go to the "Driver" tab and click the "Delete" button. After that, the software will be completely uninstalled.
Driver selection
If the image on the laptop’s camera is upside down, then most often this situation is associated with improper installation of drivers. The previous section described how to remove those that do not work correctly. And the procedure for selecting new ones is as follows:
- On a laptop connected to the Internet, we launch any available browser.
- Go to the page of any search engine.
- With its help, we find the official website of this manufacturer.
- Next, go to the "Support" section, in the request window indicate the model of the device and perform a search on the site.
- Then we indicate the version of the operating system that you have installed.
- In response to this, a list of available drivers appears.
- We expand the “Camera” section and download the first one that comes from them.
- Next, we carry out the test (the procedure for its implementation is given in the next section). If the camera works correctly, then it's over. Otherwise, delete them and install the following proposed option.
Test
After each attempt to turn the camera over on an ASUS laptop related to installing new drivers, it is necessary to check for the desired result. The easiest way to do this operation is in the Skype program. Therefore, we consider the procedure for its implementation on the example of this software product. And it consists of the following steps:
- We find the official website of this program on the Internet using any search engine and register on it.
- Download Skype from it.
- Install this software on your laptop.
- We launch this communication tool and enter the login and password specified at the registration stage.
- In “Skype” we go to the main menu item called “Tools”. In it we find the item "Settings". Then in the right column of the window that opens, select “Video Settings”.
- At the same time, the current image from the webcam should appear in the right part of the window. If it returned to normal, then everything is in order. Otherwise, you need to continue the selection of drivers.
