I have a SX 510 and the pictures are not sharp.

I do hold the shutter down half way until the bars are green but the picture is not nearly as sharp as my old Kodak camera. I'm trying to take pictures of my artwork to post online and this is extremely disappointing to have spent more for a camera who's quality is not nearly as good. I've had the camera since April and bought an extended warranty on Amazon so I'm wondering if I should just return it and go with a Kodak again. If anyone knows of a setting that will make a difference, please share. I'm about at the end of my rope. I was so excited to get this camera and now it's virtually unusable for the purpose I wanted it for.

I may have it figured out. I really need to experiment some more though. I set the ISO to 100 and increased the shutter speed. Think I'll play with it some this weekend to see if that helped significantly.

  • I have imported a document from my old Windows PC but on the Mac the text is misaligned and the pictures are gobbledygook. It looks fine on the thumbnail. How do I see my documents in Mac as they appeared in Windows?

    To view it in an acceptable format, yes.  You can try using an opensource program such as OpenOffice or LibreOffice and see if it yields better results.  However, I'm sure if it would be compatible with a document made with word processing software from 9 years ago, but I would certainly give it a try.

  • One day it just stopped focusing and the pictures are blurry.  If I switch it to the front camera it works well and looks like it should but when I turn it back it goes back to being out of focus and I can't figure out how to fix it?

    i installed ios 7.after  that my primary cam, one day it just stopped focusing and the pictures are blurry.  If I switch it to the front camera it works well and looks like it should but when I turn it back it goes back to being out of focus and I can't figure out how to fix it?

    This advice will sound like a joke or prank, but believe me it worked on my iPhone 5 and my daughter's.  The lens mechanism got stock on each of our iPhones.  We found a post on these message boards that said to hold the iPhone about 6 inches above a table or counter top and drop it so that it lands flat on it's back.  Now try the camera ...Fixed!  It has been more than six months now and neither of our iPhones have ever experienced the problem again. 

  • I just purchased Export PDF, and when I use it, it opens them in WordPad (which I never use) instead of Word. Thus, the pictures are not there, and the fonts are changed. How do I get into Word?

  • When I went to bed I had 3,000  song and multiple playlists.  This morning I have ~30 songs and no playlists.  What could have happened to my songs playlists?  I run iTunes on a Windows 7 64-bit machine.  HELP! (oh, and the Songs are not in recycle bin)

    My wife's ipod nano was plugged into the machine overnight.
    When she went running with it, there were no songs on it.  She checked the computer and was horrified to see that the playlists had disappeared and most of the songs had disappeared.
    QUESTIONS:
    1. What could it be?
    2. How can I fix it?

  • When I open my RAW files in Photoshop CC they are grainy and the JPEGS are not. What is going on? It doesn't seem to have anything to do with my CACHE levels either.

    I have the exact same problem! I sent the discs into my local Apple Center so they could check the discs. A month later I get them back by mail and an e-mail that says "there is no problem with the discs, therefore it must be a problem with you system". Not very helpful, and it took forever before they got time to check the discs. Pretty ****** off by now...
    EDIT: It is probably worth mentioning that I get an error when installing LiveType 1B at about 4% of installing, that says "there were errors installing, please try again". I am installing the LiveType content on my LaCie 250GB USB external hard drive, although I have already tried installing the content on the built in hard drive as well..

    Trashing the preference file may help, as I've outlined in the topic I've linked to. Otherwise, follow the steps regarding removing 3rd party QuickTime components. Also, see the final post by the OP (EEye87) regarding how his problem was resolved (a combination of trashing the preference file and the 3ivx component).

  • HT4623 My camera just recently went blurry. It was working just fine yesterday but then I went to use it today and the pictures are so fuzzy. Has anyone else had this problem with their iPhone 5?

    My camera just recently went blurry. It was working just fine yesterday but then I went to use it today and the pictures are so fuzzy. Has anyone else had this problem with their iPhone 5?

    1st... make sure nothing's covering/smudging the camera lens.  then...
    Standard troubleshooting...
    Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
    Remove the Camera app from Recently Used list...
    - From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
    - Tap and hold any icon in this list until they wiggle
    - Press the red to delete the Camera app from this list.
    - Press the home button twice when done.
    - Restart the Camera app
    If still a problem restore with your backup.
    If still a problem restore as new, i.e. without your backup. See how it runs with nothing synced to it.
    If still a problem, it's likely a hardware issue.

  • TS3274 When I take pictures with my ipad 4, the pictures are not saved to the ipad, or not anywhere I can find them?

    When I take a picture or video with my ipad, the pictures are not shown in the camera roll or anywhere else I can find them.  Can anyone help me?

    When you take a photo there will be a small icon of the photo in the lower right corner. If you touch that it should take you to the photo in the camera roll.
    If that isn't happening have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).
    No data will be lost.

    I am using OS X and am trying to set up a HP ENVY 5660 e printer and the drivers are not listed.  I read somewhere not to use the install disk.  What do I do?

    Your suggestion was a good one and what I found was that to use this and any other printer I looked at is that I need to update the operating system to a later version.  I have been reluctant in the past to do this after reading update horror stories and since this computer does what I need and very well.  Was glad I moved over from windows and this is the first problem I have had.  Thanks for your help and any other suggestions you may have.

  • Hello my battery power has a x on it and the lights are not working and its making a noise - Please assist

    Hello my battery power has a x on it and the lights are not working and its making a noise - Please assist

    The Battery icon with the "X" indicates that your computer does not detect a battery and is operating on electrical power from AC since your computer is plugged in. If your battery is installed but not detected that indicates a problem: 1. the battery is dead; 2. the battery connector is not functioning properly. You mention that there is no response from the indicator lights so it could be either of the two possibilities. The noise is not a good sign. Best to shut it down safely while you can to prevent any possibility of damage and get it to an Apple Genius Bar or Authorized Apple Service Provider to discover the nature of the problem
