Windows 10: Camera zoomed in too much on my Lenovo Ideapad S145-15IWL

Hello!


I use an Ideapad S145-15IWL for my daily meetings. It's a company laptop, so I was not able to install Lenovo Vantage. After my IT department installed it for me, I was not able to change the way the camera is zoomed in.


In short, I need to move far away from the laptop for anyone to see me, but then I can't read properly or see other people if there are more than two people talking to me.

If I sit normally, all people can see is my eyes and my forehead.


I was trying to find an option to somehow unzoom the camera, but was not successful so far, which is why I'm posting here - in hopes someone could provide some kind of a solution.


I also have a Lenovo Thinkpad T440, which is my personal laptop, and the camera on that one is perfect! Not zoomed in and way more fluid. Somehow does not make sense that a way cheaper product has such a better camera.


Any suggestions on this would be much appreciated!


Let me know if I can provide any further information.


All the best,
Olat

:)

The dumps are just not telling me what the cause is.

Also see 408 of these for different files.

Code:

PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_9DD3&SUBSYS_380517AA is this device:

Intel(R) 300 Series Chipset Family SATA AHCI Controller Driver for LENOVO - Lenovo IdeaPad S145

So it looks like there may be a problem with that device.

Try installing the latest chipset driver from Lenovo: Intel Chipset Driver for Windows 10 (64-bit) - S145-14IWL, S145-15IWL, V14-IWL, V15-IWL

Lenovo IdeaPad S340 Camera Not Working

So, I have an IdeaPad S145, it's about a year old but I don't use it very often. I just started trying to use it with Hangouts or Skype or even Zoom because as we all know, this social distancing thing sucks. My camera wasn't working, I don't know if it
was because of an update or if it never worked up to this point. I was pulling my hair out researching Lenovo forums, Microsoft, Google... You name the site, I was looking for answers.

I'll get to the point. I solved the issue with some stupid option deep in the settings. Navigate to > PC Settings > Gaming > Broadcasting, Scroll down in the page to Camera and turn on the tab that says; "Use camera when I broadcast".

You can test the camera right there. Good luck, I hope this fixes your problem.
