    This goes a bit off-topic since I have ToughPad, not ToughBook (a link to ToughPad forum would be nice), but I'll try anyway:

    I have replaced my device due to a faulty SIM reader and unlike the one that was replaced, this new one has the front camera set as it's default camera. How do I change that? So when I take a picture by pressing button on the screen, I don't want it to photoshoot my face but instead what I'm looking at. I guess you could describe this also as "use camera instead of webcam".

    The application I'll use this in is a HTML5 form, so if you have some simple code for HTML to select the camera device, that would most likely solve this too.

    The model number of this device is FZ-A1B and the versions are Android 4.0.3 and kernel is 3.0.8

    Thanks for any answers!

    Thanks for the link!

    I think that the back camera is broken and thus the camera doesn't display that "change camera"-icon. It would make sense that the application has been built with some
    displaychangecameraicon = (numberofcameras > 1)
    logic - at least that's how I would probably do it.

    Please correct me if I'm wrong here.
