Maximum resolution problem while capturing image through my C# app on Windows 8 Tablet

While using Windows 8 Pro Tablet ( Thinkpad 2) to capture an image using its Primary camera, the maximum resolution that I get is 640X480. I have tried but could not succeed to get higher resolution. Please suggest a workaround.
