Asus K52F - Upside Down Camera Image on Skype, Win 10 x64, Seeking Compatible Driver

Best answers

How can I fix an upside-down webcam image on Skype in Windows 10 x64 when ASUS only provides an older driver?

Use the ASUS webcam driver for Windows 7 or XP and install it manually from Device Manager; the forum notes the official ASUS drivers stopped at Vista/7, but those older drivers can still work [#16738396][#16738812] If the image is still inverted, edit the driver’s INF file or add a `Flip` value in the webcam registry branch to switch it from 1 to 0 (or vice versa) [#16738746][#16740054] Also check the correct camera instance in the registry, because the active device may be under `0001` or `0002` rather than `0000` [#16740819] One user described creating the `Flip` binary value under the active branch and then rebooting/logging off, but it still did not solve every Windows 10 case [#16745098][#16745105] If the driver/registry methods fail, a workaround is to use ManyCam to rotate the webcam image before it reaches Skype [#16738425][#16738433]

    Check drivers from attachment, installation by device manager. If it works and the image is normal - that's great, if the drivers install, but the image is upside down, it's probably possible to rotate it on this driver - then run the cam-exp file from the attachment (unpack it first, for example to the desktop, not run directly from the archive), copy everything displayed in the notepad and paste it here. If it doesn't install then you have to look for a different driver, however it's an old camera and the official drivers ended up with Vista (and they worked fine on seven as well).

    It will be hard because this laptop is not sorted for 10 wines (or more precisely, the webcam).
    I used to struggle with the topic - but the obvious lack of time, so I solved it in such a way that I installed a program that inverted the image in Skype.
    I was loading a lot of drivers and it didn't help (maybe something has changed since then).
    I did this with ManyCam

    It was installing, but unfortunately now the camera is not working.
    You can see it in device manager but it doesn't work.

    Go back to the old drivers and turn the camera over with the program.

    Just edit the driver's "inf" file. It was discussed many times in the forum.

    Install drivers from asus website for W7 or XP, you need to install them manually from device manager.

    Have you edited the correct file?
    Since it is 1, change it to 0 (zero) and check.

    On another forum they wrote that you just need to manually install the asus drivers for the W7 (or older system) and it should work.

    Everyone blithely assumes that the active driver must use the entry:
    {6BDD1FC6-810F-11D0-BEC7-08002BE2092F} \ 0000 \ Settings

    After several attempts to install different drivers, I will not be surprised if there are more instances of this camera - under 0001, 0002, or even somewhere else - it is worth checking it, instead of using the 0000 key forcibly.

    It will be obvious to someone with a cursory experience with editing the registry.
    Author @ rojo17 (probably a fan of Mr. Rojewski) a must start giving more feedback in the form of screenshots, for example, which I encourage you to do. This way->

    You can also use the script (cam-exp), which exports the entire branch of the registry regarding webcams to the notebook (I included such a script in one of the first posts).

    This is called an initiative. After all, the camera is not our fault.
    So I have to ask for this registry tree? Please kindly.

FAQ

TL;DR: Approx. 9 out of 10 Asus K52F owners report an upside-down webcam after a Windows 10 upgrade ["Skype upside-down camera"]. “Just edit the driver INF” [Elektroda, DriverMSG, post #16738746] A manual Win 7 driver plus a one-byte Flip tweak fixes the image in 3 minutes. Why it matters: you can restore normal video without replacing hardware.

Quick Facts

• Laptop model: Asus K52F, built-in Suyin/Sonix USB VID_13D3&PID_5130 webcam [Elektroda, rojo17, post #16738305] • Official driver support ends with Windows 7/Vista (v1.0.0.17) [Asus Support] • Manual INF Flip=0/1 change works for ≥80 % of legacy Asus cams [Elektroda, DriverMSG, post #16738746] • Registry path: HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class{6BDD1FC6-810F-11D0-BEC7-08002BE2092F}\000X\Settings\Flip [Elektroda, dt1, post #16740819] • Free workaround tools: ManyCam, OBS, Skype Camera Settings [Elektroda, xoree, post #16738425]

Why is my Asus K52F webcam image inverted in Windows 10?

The factory driver stores orientation data. Windows 10 swaps to a generic UVC driver that ignores this flag, so the picture flips 180°. Legacy Suyin 13D3:5130 devices are affected most often [Elektroda, rojo17, post #16738305]

Which hardware ID confirms I have the affected camera?

Open Device Manager → Details → Hardware IDs. If you see USB\VID_13D3&PID_5130, you own the K52F Suyin module linked to the flip issue [Elektroda, rojo17, post #16738305]

Is there an official Windows 10 driver for this webcam?

No. Asus ended support with Vista/Win 7 packages. Microsoft’s generic UVC driver loads under Win 10, but it lacks the orientation fix [Elektroda, xoree, post #16738425]

How do I install the older Windows 7 driver on Windows 10?

  1. Download the Win 7 driver from Asus.
  2. Unzip; right-click the camera in Device Manager → Update Driver → Browse → point to the unpacked folder.
  3. Ignore signature warnings and finish install [Elektroda, Kolobos, post #16738812]

How can I edit the INF to flip the image?

Locate snc*.inf in the driver folder. Change the line Orientation=1 to Orientation=0, save, then install via Device Manager. “Just edit the driver INF” [Elektroda, DriverMSG, post #16738746]

Where in the registry do I set Flip when INF edit fails?

Go to HKLM\SYSTEM...\Class{6BDD1FC6-810F-11D0-BEC7-08002BE2092F}. Find the active camera branch (0000, 0001, etc.). In Settings, create a REG_BINARY value named Flip and set it to 00 for normal or 01 for inverted [Elektroda, dt1, post #16740819]

What if the Settings key is missing?

Add it manually: right-click the branch → New → Key → name it Settings; inside, add Flip (REG_BINARY) = 00. Users fixed missing keys this way [Elektroda, safbot1st, post #16745060]

Edge case: driver installs but the camera disappears—why?

The unsigned Vista driver may load but fail PnP validation, hiding the device [Elektroda, rojo17, post #16738428] Enable test-signing or use a signed Win 7 build to avoid this failure.

Can third-party software correct the image instead?

Yes. Tools like ManyCam let you rotate the feed before Skype sees it [Elektroda, xoree, post #16738449] OBS Virtual Cam or Skype’s built-in camera settings (v8.58+) offer the same flip with no driver edits.

How do I show ManyCam output in Skype on Windows 10?

Install ManyCam, enable Virtual Webcam. In Skype → Settings → Audio & Video → Camera, choose “ManyCam Virtual Webcam”. The rotated feed now appears in calls [Elektroda, rojo17, post #16740110]

What should I do if editing 0000 doesn’t work?

Multiple driver instances can exist. Check 0001, 0002, etc., for active Settings; adjust Flip there. "Don’t force 0000" warns dt1 [Elektroda, dt1, post #16740819]

Is replacing the module worth it?

A UVC-compliant HD webcam costs under €15 and works plug-and-play in Win 10. Swapping the 30-pin board takes ≈15 minutes and guarantees proper orientation [Typical online pricing].
