What is this key for on my keyboard? ?

Question

The key 'F7' have a camera picture on it. I'm on a Vista laptop. What does this key do and how do I use it?

Answer 1

that usually if for a web camera, and Vista is a software not a computer brand, but anyways if you press CNTRL F7 it might toggle the web camera on/off, if you have one plugged in, but if it has one built in it might.

Answer 2

If your laptop has a built-in cam, it's probably to make that work..  

Answer 3

Mostly, it depends on the brand.

It's a "special function" key that applies to only that model/brand.

Their should be a key in the lower left that says function, FN or something like that. Hold that key down and press f7 to use it.

As for what it does, I would need to know the exact brand and model to be sure of that. It doesn't sound familiar. If your laptop has a built in camera it could be to enable and disable that.

f7 on mine is to enable and disable the external video port.
