Product Name: HP Pavilion g6 Notebook PC 

Product Number: QG827EA#ABV

Operating System: Windows 7 64-bit 

Hi,

I bought my laptop on mid of last month and whenever i tried to open the webcam it displays the video in Black and White, while the video comes up, initially for a second it displays in color and immediately within fraction of seconds it goes fully white and starts displaying in B&W. 

Kindly let me know if its a hardware fault as i have an international waranty which will take care of it.

Regards,

Hi,

Have you tried this (under webcam application):

• Webcam > option > video 
• Capture 
• Filter, click color

there is no such option like that in my cyberlink webcam application

Try following steps:

1. Open CyberLink YouCam Application
2. Click on 'Enhance The current video and image' (with reel and bulb icon on it)
3. Click Advanced
4. Click on Default button in the window pop up
5. And finally click OK

It would probably fix the problem . It did for my Truevision Webcam 🙂
