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.
