Camera

Surface Pro 3 has two 5-megapixel cameras for taking pictures and recording videos. You can use the front

camera for conferencing and video calls, and the back camera to record meetings and events.

Record video with either camera in 1080p HD, with a 16:9 aspect ratio (widescreen). Both cameras are fixed focus,

so you don’t need to worry about focusing. A privacy light appears when either camera is on, so there are no

surprises.
