Is anyone good with digital cameras? - GoFuckYourself.com

lil2rich4u2 · 10-19-2003, 07:37 AM

a while back i had a shitty camera, sony mavica and it used the floppy as film. But it took shitty pictures, very grainy, etc.

now i went and spent near $500 on this new one, here are the stats:

Olympus Camedia
Digital Camera D-560 ZOOM
3.2 megapixel

Last night i was at a party and took about 100 pictures, most of them came out looking grainy!

There was a lady there that had a Canon Powershot, i think its an elf? Every one of her pics came out crystal clear! Every single one of them!

She said because she had it on the highest quality or something, so i went in and made mine the highest quality, and they were still grainy!

Here are the settings i have for quality:

SHQ 2048x1536
HQ 2048x1536
SQ1 1024x768
SQ2 640x480

i mostly used the lowest one so i can get more pictures, but even on the highest one they are still grainy.

Now i can buy a bigger mem stick and just leave it on the highest setting, but something is still wrong, i tried it on that setting :/

has anyone had this problem?

also id say it could have been a lighting problem in the room, but the other ladies canon powershot was taking crystal clear pics every time!!

im so fucking pissed

Do you have it on auto?

lil2rich4u2 · 10-19-2003, 07:41 AM

fuck i should just return this peice of shit.

i just noticed all my pics have bad redeye problem. Camera has a redeye reduction thing, but then it takes too fucking long to snap a picture.

im real unhappy with this one ... think ill return it

Lightning is the problem it sounds like. Though you never know since its digital there could be a defect in your camera.

yes, but that canon was rock solid the entire night!

she took like 200 pics and each one was PERFECT quality.

If it's got a lens setting selector, check it. If you're trying to take pics at a distance, but your settings are on macro or close-up, the pics will look like ass.

this sounds like it could be ...

i am a BIG fan of the zoom button, and taking head shots, but i dont know how the camera is set for this.

damn

press down the "take picture button" a little. A light start to flash in the viewer. When that flashes it is focused and everything. Press it all the way down...and voila...sharp picture.

NaughtyJenn · 10-19-2003, 07:53 AM

rich: i have that same camera and havent had a issue like that before... i use olympus for my site and use the D-560 for personal stuff and i have never had a quality problem... might wanna check your settings hun

yep i been doing that.

i press it half way and it flashes, when it is focussed it goes solid, then i snap

lil2rich4u2 · 10-19-2003, 07:58 AM

is it possible that some cameras are good in artificial light, and others are not?

this camera takes perfect pictures outdoors durring day time :/

or maybe its just a setting like someone said?

NaughtyJenn · 10-19-2003, 07:59 AM

ok great, thanks jenn

BTW im looking at site, i can buy the 512mb pic card for $279 or so. right now i have a 16mb card :/
