I have the same issue. Please keep in the loop when you find a solution. I have spent hours updating drivers and uninstalling drivers and reinstalling drivers. Nothing has worked and in researching I find many references to third party anti virus software. Unfortunately ASC Protect will not allow me to turn off the antivirus portion of ASC. I tried deleting ASC and it didn't help. I'm running Windows and all updates have been installed and I have ASC 14 Pro. 8.5.5
One more thought. I ran Driver Booster 8 and it found that my camera drivers needed to be updated, but update failed on Microsoft Camera Front, Microsoft Camera Rear, and Microsoft IR Camera Front. All are listed as code 10 errors "This Device Cannot Start" by your driver booster 8 program. 8.5.5
Hi, I give up - I have tried everything. I restored my computer hoping that would resolve it. I have now got everything set up once agian but still no camera reconized. If I try to install new drivers it tells me they are up to date. I have uninstalled and reinstalled drivers. Nothing works. I tried following your instructions above but ended up so confused - I'm just not technical enough!! I could not find
I would suggest that you would have better luck either on a Surface Book forum, or simply googling....Surface Book Camera not working or Surface Book- Intel AVStream Camera 2500 not working.I say this because there were a lot of issues with Surface Book machines due to Windows Updates this year.
1. Open Device Manager, find the following devices one by one, right-click each of them to choose "Uninstall device", then check the option "Delete the driver software for this device." and click OK to uninstall them.
For a while recently, there was a trend on social media (Instagram Reels and TikTok) where photographers were posting videos that stated their age, how long they had been a photographer, and what brand of camera they use.
You would think that the number of years would also be a determining factor but I think that has more to do with professionals. Making money as a photographer requires a level of consistency in your skill. If you are just shooting as a hobby, years of experience do not equate to ability.
This obsession with camera brands also hurts you in your marketing. Too many photographers gear their social media towards talking about what gear they shoot instead of trying to reach PAYING CLIENTS!

Whether you're a professional photographer or an enthusiastic hobbyist, taking care of your camera equipment is essential to ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your gear. From costly lenses to high-tech bodies, your camera equipment requires regular maintenance to keep it in top-notch condition. In this article, we'll share our top tips on how to take care of your camera equipment.
Cleaning your camera and lenses is one of the most important maintenance tasks you can perform. Start by using a blower brush or air blower to remove any loose particles from the surface of your camera and lens. Be careful not to touch the sensor or lens directly with your fingers. Next, use a microfiber cloth and a cleaning solution specifically designed for camera lenses to gently wipe away any smudges or fingerprints. Remember to clean both the front and rear elements of your lens thoroughly. Regular cleaning will ensure optimal image quality and prevent dust from causing spots on your photos.
Dust and moisture are two of the biggest enemies of camera equipment. To protect your gear from dust, always keep your camera body and lenses covered when not in use. Use lens caps and body caps to prevent dust from settling on the lens or entering the camera body. If you're shooting in dusty environments, consider using a protective filter on your lens to minimize the risk of dust particles reaching the front element. Similarly, when shooting in rainy or humid conditions, use a rain cover or waterproof housing to shield your camera from moisture. Taking these precautions will help prevent damage to your equipment and ensure it lasts for years.
Proper storage is essential to protect your camera equipment when it's not in use. Always store your gear in a cool and dry environment, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid storing your equipment in places prone to moisture, such as basements or attics. We recommend investing in a camera bag or case that provides cushioning and protection for your gear. Use dividers or compartments within the bag to keep your camera body, lenses, and accessories organized and separate to prevent scratches or accidental damage. Additionally, consider using moisture-absorbing silica gel packets in your camera bag to minimize humidity and prevent moisture-related issues.
Proper handling and transportation of your camera equipment are crucial to avoid accidents or damage. Always hold your camera with both hands, ensuring a secure grip to prevent accidental drops. When changing lenses, do it in a clean and stable environment to minimize the risk of dust entering your camera body. If you're traveling with your gear, invest in a sturdy camera bag that offers ample padding and protection. Securely fasten your camera and lenses within the bag to prevent any movement during transit. Finally, avoid leaving your camera unattended or exposed to harsh conditions, such as extreme heat or cold.
Camera accessories, such as batteries, memory cards, and lens filters, play a crucial role in your photography workflow. Regularly check these accessories for signs of wear and tear. Inspect your batteries for any leakage or corrosion and replace them if necessary. Check your memory cards for any visible damage or errors and format them periodically to ensure optimal performance. Additionally, examine your lens filters for scratches or cracks and replace them if needed. By keeping your camera accessories in good condition, you'll prevent any unexpected issues while shooting and maintain the reliability of your equipment.
Camera manufacturers often release firmware updates to improve the performance and functionality of their cameras. Regularly check for firmware updates on the manufacturer's website and follow the instructions to install them correctly. Firmware updates can address bugs, introduce new features, or improve overall performance. Similarly, keep your camera software, such as editing programs or tethering software, up to date. Updated software ensures compatibility with the latest operating systems and provides access to new features and improvements.
Camera calibration involves adjusting various settings to ensure accurate and consistent results. Start by calibrating your camera's autofocus system to ensure sharp and precise focusing. Many camera models offer built-in autofocus micro-adjustment features, allowing you to fine-tune the autofocus accuracy. Additionally, calibrate your camera's white balance settings to ensure accurate color reproduction. Use a gray card or a color calibration tool to set a custom white balance. Regularly calibrating your camera will help eliminate any focusing or color accuracy issues, resulting in better image quality all round.
Despite your best efforts, there may come a time when your camera equipment requires professional servicing. Whether it's a major repair or a routine check-up, it's essential to entrust your gear to a reputable camera service center. Professional technicians have the knowledge and expertise to diagnose and fix any issues with your equipment. Regular servicing can help identify potential problems before they escalate and prolong the lifespan of your gear. Don't hesitate to seek professional help when needed to ensure that your camera equipment remains in optimal condition.
Proper maintenance of your camera equipment is crucial for several reasons. First and foremost, it ensures that your gear operates at its best, delivering high-quality images consistently. Regular maintenance also helps to prevent common issues such as dust particles on your sensor, scratches on your lens, or moisture damage. By taking good care of your equipment, you'll extend its lifespan and save money on costly repairs or replacements down the line.
Taking care of your camera equipment is a vital part of being a photographer. From cleaning your lenses to protecting your camera from extreme weather conditions, each step plays a crucial role in maintaining your gear's performance. So, don't overlook the importance of camera equipment maintenance and make it a regular part of your photography routine. Your gear will thank you with stunning images for years to come!
We are so lucky to have amazing technology at our fingertips whenever we pick up a camera. It makes me smile just to hold a well designed camera. But as much as you like to work with these amazing tools, you also need to know how to care for your camera and keep it working at peak performance.
There are two major things to consider with dust. It will either get on your lens or on your sensor. The good news is that you can remove it. How you remove it is a big part of how to care for your camera gear.
Dust on the lens is a simple fix compared to dust on your sensor. If you start to notice that your photos have dark spots showing up in the same location on every image, then you likely have dust on the sensor.
Shock is always a bad thing for electronics. Dropping your camera is never a good idea, so make sure you use a good strap and good technique when holding your camera (see my earlier lesson about holding your camera). No matter how careful you are, you will still likely drop your gear at some point.
