    Apologies if there is a thread for these little machines and I've missed it in scanning things....

    I have the VGN UX37GN with a 40Gb hard drive (as opposed to the Flash SSD model). Nifty bit of kit given it has to labour under Vista rather than XP. HOWEVER....

    ....I'm having trouble with the cameras. On accessing the camera utility the front Motion Eye is activated for webcam use & low-res imaging. But does anyone know how to activate the REAR high-res (well, higher than the front) camera??

    The hardware documentation supplied with the unit _suggests_ sliding up the screen should activate the rear camera....but this doesn't work for me. Supplied software guide for using the Camera Utility software is pretty useless, as this starts from the position of having to install a webcam (i.e. it is a generic guide, rather than being speific to the software / hardware combination supplied in the UX package.

    Any / all ideas on getting the rear camera active will be welcomed with open arms!
