Picture Problems
If you’re not satisfied with the pictures you get from PhotoPC, you may
need to adjust some of the camera settings. Or maybe you need to brush
up on your photography techniques. Read the suggestions listed below
and give them a try.
Your pictures display poor image quality on the screen or when you
print them out.
❙
PhotoPC captures images in 24-bit color (16.7 million colors).
Your pictures will not display maximum image quality if your
monitor or your computer’s video controller don’t support this
color depth. You may need to upgrade your system to achieve the
best possible image quality.
❙
If your pictures look better on the screen than when you print them
out, you may need to upgrade your printer. An EPSON color ink jet
printer, for example, will provide excellent image quality.
Your picture is blurry or out of focus.
❙
Make sure your subject is within the camera’s range. You should
be at least 2 feet away to take a picture without the flash, and 3 to
10 feet away to take a picture with the flash.
❙
Make sure you hold the camera steady, and your subject isn’t
moving.
❙
If you want to photograph a moving subject, try increasing the
shutter speed. For information about changing the shutter speed,
see page 5-3.
❙
Make sure your flash setting is either automatic or forced flash.
Your picture is too dark (underexposed).
❙
You may need to use the flash. Make sure the setting is either
automatic or forced flash.
❙
If you’re using the flash, make sure your subject is within the range
of 3 to 10 feet.
❙
Use EasyPhoto or another image editing program to adjust the
picture’s brightness and contrast. See
page 4-7 for instructions.
Your picture is too light (overexposed).
❙
If you’re using the forced flash setting, it may be too bright. Try
setting the flash to auto.
