Camera

Surface has two cameras. You can use the front

camera to have a video chat with a friend, and the

rear-facing camera to record meetings and events

hands-free. You can also use either camera to take

pictures.

A privacy light appears when either camera is on,

so there are no surprises. Both cameras are fixed

focus, so you don’t need to worry about focusing.

The cameras capture video in 720p HD, with a 16:9

aspect ratio.

Both cameras take pictures and videos. The rear camera is angled to point straight ahead when Surface is resting

on its kickstand.
