Yesterday I Tested a video conference using Google Hangouts on Air for the first time on a new Aspire E5-575G. I was ashamed of the image quality from the webcam. It was as if someone took a 100 pixel image and expanded it to 600 pixels. There were no obstructions to the lens.
The laptop specs say "Webcam: HD Webcam (1280 x 720) supporting High Dynamic Range (HDR)." There seems to be no video software that came with the 575G other than a 2006 Microsoft driver 10.0.14393.82 dated 21Jun06, which the Acer Care Center software indicated was up to date.
The 77 page computer manual mentions webcam or camera four times with no discussion of settings, software or image quality.
The only discussion I have seen in this Acer Community has regarded Crystal Eye software that appears to be model specific and is not llisted under the 575G software & driver updates.
When I open the camera from the Start menu there are hardly any settings that can be adjusted.
Any suggestions on how to get a better image from this webcam?
