    I have a t61, and the camera pretty much sucks. it always appears yellow or very Dependant on perfect lighting. Is there a utility to adjust brightness or anything? Any program you can get for effects? most laptops usually come with one...i know of vaio and dell, if there isnt one from lenovo is there something you can download at all?

    Thanks

    I use Skype to do video calls. It has an extensive set of settings to control the image.
    While the camera on my T400 seems to be better then the one on the T61 I had previously, I was able to use the Skype settings to get a very acceptable image on the T61.
