When I quit the game it goes back to normal but that sucks when you try to record a commercial

This is usually a problem with the Playstation 3 software becoming corrupt. It is very easy to fix if you follow my simple steps.

Step 1.

Turn your Playstation 3 off into standby mode (red light on)

Step 2.

Press and hold the power button. The Playstation 3 will beep when you first press it, then beep again 5 seconds later and then beep once more and turn off back into standby mode (red light on). You must now release the power button.

Step 3.

Press and hold the power again. The Playstation 3 will beep when you first press it, beep again 5 seconds later then there will be 2 quick beeps together. When you hear these 2 quick beeps release the power button.

Step 4.

Your Playstation 3 will now start up with a screen asking you to connect a controller via USB. Connect your controller and then press the PS button.

Step 5.

A menu will now be displayed on screen. Select option 3 "Restore File System". This will then ask you to confirm that you wish to go ahead with the system restore. Accept whatever the Playstation 3 says.

The Playstation 3 will now go through the system restore process and re-install the system software if it has any corrupt or missing files. Do not worry if you see any messages about a corrupt hard drive, this is normal.

If this step does not work, try option 4 or as a last resort choose option 5. WARNING! Option 5 will erase your hard drive so make sure you back anything up first!!

I hope this helps and thank you for using FixYa

Hi,did you install the drivers of the eye camera that your using? I guess that's the problem.

When you install the drivers of the eye camera, it will make the system recognize the eye camera.

Hope that helps.

any further comment fill free to pass on.

Take care.

I have the exact same problem. It worked for several hours and then suddenly I have this... litteraly after closing one game and going into another it just suddenly is no longer recognised by the PS3... yet the motion controller is recognising my movements to be able to move through menus... so surely this means the camera is working??

This is apparently caused by poor lighting in the area where you are operating the Playstation Eye, try moving to a better lit location and see how it looks then.
