If you can’t read well, try changing the distance between the camera and the QR Code little by little.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

* If the QR Code you read is too far or too close to the camera, you may not be able to read it. Also, small QR Codes may not be readable. If you cannot read, please also try 4.1.1.1 Tap to Scan<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If more than one camera is available on your PC, you can switch between them with the \"\" “Switch Camera” button. If possible, it is recommended to use a camera with autofocus function (mainly a rear camera). You can set the camera to start first. For information about how to set it up, see <\/a>6.1.1 Preferred Camera<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

* Settings for the first start-up of the camera<\/strong>
When the camera is first started, a message similar to the one below will be displayed. This is what the app allows you to access your PC’s camera. If you want to use your PC’s camera to read QR Codes, select Yes<\/strong> here. If you want to change permissions later, you can change them from Settings <\/strong>– Apps and Features<\/strong>.
