Use the Camera

Your laptop is equipped with a 10MP ultra wide camera, a camera system developed by Lenovo to deliver clearer, more natural, and more immersive video experiences.

Explore the camera’s key features:

  • Large smartphone-level image sensor
    The 10MP ultra wide camera uses a significantly larger image sensor than typical laptop cameras to deliver better image quality, improved details and better performance in low-light environments.
  • Ultra-wide-angle lens with adjustable field of view
    The camera combines an ultra-wide-angle lens with a dedicated framing algorithm that virtually adjusts the viewpoint to produce a more natural composition. This allows the camera to capture more of your upper body in video calls, enabling more expressive communication without requiring you to move the screen.

When there is only one person in the frame, the camera uses a 90° field of view, which keeps human proportions natural and the background neat. When multiple people join the frame, users can go to Settings ➙ Bluetooth & devices ➙ Cameras ➙ Integrated Camera and switch the field of view to 110° to include more people.

  • Adaptive distortion correction
    To prevent the stretched or pulled appearance that often occurs with wide-angle lenses especially near the edges, the camera uses an adaptive dewarping algorithm. This ensures all faces remain natural and undistorted, even in multi-person scenarios.
  • AI-enhanced image processing
    The camera continuously detects ambient lighting conditions and uses AI and an advanced image signal processor (ISP) to optimize exposure, reduce noise, and reveal details in both bright and shadowed areas —helping you look natural in offices, backlit situations, or changing environments.
