Windows Phone 7 - CameraTask Not Working

Question

My WP7 app uses the CameraCaptureTask to take a pic and then display it on my screen. The task works fine on the Emulator, however it stops working when I deploy it on the device. On debugging I found that the CameraCaptureTaskObject.Show() is getting called, but the camera doesn't show up. Instead the capture task completed event gets fired directly.

Any suggestions?

Answer 1

Make sure that the Zune software is not running on the PC once the app is deployed on the device.

Answer 2

Make sure that you do not have a USB connection active to the PC - see http://forums.create.msdn.com/forums/p/65574/401189.aspx
