    For Surface Pro laptop: how to turn on the rear facing camera


    For Surface Pro: how to turn on the rear facing camera. The front facing camera is the default and works fine. The camera app is supposed to offer the switch but mine doesn't. It doesn't seem to offer the option to switch despite the on-line instructions I've found.

    Trouble taking photos using the rear camera on your Surface Pro 4 or Surface Book?

    Hi all, Mike from the Camera team here!

    We've received some reports that people using their new Surface Pro 4 or Surface Book can sometimes have trouble taking photos with the built-in Camera app when using the rear-facing cameras on their devices. If you think this could be affecting you, updating
    the Camera app should resolve your issue.

    To do so, please follow these steps:

    • Open the Store app
    • Click on your profile icon on the top right, next to the search bar
    • On the menu that appears, click "Downloads and updates"
    • Click the "Check for updates" button and install all available app updates
    After this, your Camera app should be updated to version 2015.1078.40.0 (or later), and you should be good to go.

    We apologize if this caused you any inconveniences, and would like to re-iterate our commitment to a great camera experience across our entire family of Windows devices. Thanks for your patience!

    surface pro 4 rear camera not working

    I have recently bought a surface pro 4 with the latest 10 windows pro installed, when i use the camera i can only see the front camera as there is no option to let me use the rear camera, i had someone from Microsoft remotely access it and they couldn't
    fix error. they said its maybe a hardware issue.

    Has anyone had anything similar or can anyone advise me on how to get the rear camera to work?

    For Surface Pro laptop: how to turn on the rear facing camera

    Rear facing camera is not working on Windows 10.

    Original Title: non-Functioning rear facing camera

    My rear facing camera on my Nextbook Flexx 9 is not working.

    When i go to switch from main to rear it tells me its not been installed and gives

    me a oxa00f424a error code. When i open printers and cameras it runs the wizard until the

    last step and then closes while restarting my computer. HELP.
