My camera just show very dark picture (shadow) e.g. when using with Skype.

Any suggestions to rectify the problem would be appreciated.

Is it possible to reinstall the camera software/driver?

Thanks very much.

Hi Ali,

Your model uses native windows drivers for the camera so re-installing as such from Sony Support is not an option. You can remove the camera from Device Manager, shutdown, reboot and let Windows re-install the drivers automatically, but I doubt somehow that this will have any effect.

If it is only Skype that is giving the problem then try re-installing the software.
