Hi abdo9119,

I don’t have access to a Win 8 Vaio so have no idea whether there is any software included to adjust brightness etc. – I assume you have investigated this? The manual for this model is next to useless when looking for a solution!

Sony claim the camera works well even in low light – albeit on the USA site:

"Wondrous Webcam
The built-in HD web camera features a Sony Exmor® R image sensor which helps guarantee a crisp, bright picture—even in dimly-lit rooms. The webcam is perfect for snapping self-portraits, video conferencing with a client or catching up with your friends. And like magic, you can use the camera and a few simple hand gestures to skip a song, adjust the volume, navigate webpages and more without even touching your computer thanks to VAIO Gesture Control."

I suggest you take this up with Sony Support.
