Shane's Stock Answer #2:
ONLY JUDGE THE QUALITY OF YOUR MATERIAL ON AN EXTERNAL NTSC MONITOR, OR AT LEAST A TV.
1. Disable overlays on the canvas
2. Make sure you've rendered everything (no green bars at the top of the timeline

DV footage requires large amounts of data and many computations. In order to maintain frame rate and be viewable at a normal size, only about one-fourth of the DV data is used in displaying the movie to the screen. However, the DV footage is still at full quality, and is best viewed thru a TV or NTSC monitor routed thru your camera or deck.
And DPI is meaningless in FCP...in video altogether. It can be 300 DPI, or 5DPI and the picture would look the same. It is the DIMENSIONS of the picture that matter. 720x480 if you intend it to fill the screen with no moves, larger if you intend to do any push ins or pans across.

Basic troubleshooting steps right out of the user guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new. If you've been through ALL the steps and you still have the problem, then you'll need to bring your phone to Apple for evaluation.

Blurry picture on second monitor with MB Pro 13"

My wife has a brand new MB Pro 13". When we attach an external monitor to it (with a digital DVI cable), we have the following problem: When the computer's lid is closed, everything is fine, the picture is crisp. However, when we open the lid and both displays are turned on, the picture on the second monitor gets slightly blurred.
When I do the same setup with my 15" MB Pro, both computers have a crisp picture.

A blurry picture means that the resolution is incorrect. Go to the Display preference pane and make sure that the two monitors have the native resolution set properly. If the two monitors have different native resolutions, one will always be blurry in mirrored mode. If the displays are not mirrored, it's possible that one will reset to the wrong resolution on opening/closing the lid.

The camera of my Ipone 4 is not focussing and takes blurry pictures up close...

The camera of my Ipone 4 is not focussing and takes blurry pictures up close... I also cannot use apps like i-nigma because it won't recognise the sign.
Can anyone help me with this?

Hi there Brittney827,
You may find the troubleshooting steps in the article below helpful.
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
Camera isn't functioning or has undesired image quality
If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tappingSettings > General > Restrictions.
Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
Cases can interfere with the camera and the flash. Try gently cleaning the lens with a clean dry cloth or removing the case if you see image or color-quality issues with photos.
Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
Try to remain steady while focusing:
Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center.
Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. You can also tap to readjust focus while recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll.
Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.

Try sharing and see if the effect is still present when you play the shared movie. It can happen when playing within iMovie if there are insufficient resources to play a full resolution.

What to do about blurry pictures for iPhone 3gs?

What to do about blurry pictures for iPhone 3gs?

Use "tap to focus" feature for the iPhone. Just tap and hold the area on the screen that you want focused. Since the 3GS is not as a good camera taker as newer iPhones, be sure to hold the phone very still. That should do the trick, just a little patience, and physical integrity

Iphone4s takes blurry pictures

my iphone can't seem to focus. it takes blurry pictures everytime i try to make it focus on anything. I just got it yesterday, and it was brand new. It was also having a very odd vibrate sound, it almost sounded loose as if the vibrate is going to fall out of the phone. it's so odd though because i got the phone brand new. does anyone know what could have caused this?
here is a pic.

Cleaning it with a cloth doesn't help. If I enter camera mode and point the camera at my hand at the bottom it'll be perfectly clear and as I move my hand upward it enters the fuzzy zone where it's just a blur..... Something's messed up.... I don't know if it's water in there or what, but it's been like that for a month.

My iPhone 5 is taking blurry pictures.

My iPhone is taking grainy and blurry pictures the majority of the time. It is quite disappointing since I have used a 4s that I think takes much better pictures.

To restore, go to Settings > Settings > Rest > Erase All Content and Settings.
When it starts up again the Setup Assistant will give you an option to restore from your backup.
Here is a doc on it:

See the section there "How to restore from a backup."

Why is my iPhone shooting blurry pictures

My iphone 5 just started to give me blurry pictures. Has the software changed as I have made no changes to the settings and the phone has not been dropped or damaged. It seems the autofocus is not working properly.

Partially blurry pictures with 6220 Classic

I am having trouble with partially blurry pictures and video on my brand new 6220 Classic. The bottom left corner gets blurry almost as if the compression is higer in this area than in others.
What could this be and should I send it for repair?
Sample pictures can will be added upon request.

hey there, i think i now know what is wrong with it. i had a look at your photos and i did indeed see the error, at first i thought it might have been a firmware issue but you have said that you have updated it and the problem still occurs.
i recall reading a magazine the other day and recalling that they complained that the xenon flash is located immediately under the camera lens (which it shouldn't be really because with flash shots it can light up the bottom left hand corner of the photo). i think this is the reason you are getting blurry artifacts in the bottom of your photos as the flash may be firing, even in daylight (when it is not very visible). as such, there seems to be nothing you can do about this except blame nokia for the illogical placement of the flash.
i hope this answers the question now

IWeb 1.1.2 blurry pictures in slideshow

I have a weird issue with my iWeb 1.1.2. I am trying to create a photo album using Photo template. All the images are high resolution and all of them work well, except one. It is an image of some people in the field (so there are green and blue colours dominating, if this may make a difference).
What is weird is that although picture appears blurry when clicking on its thumbnail, after clicking on this blurry image picture opens in high resolution and without any defects...
I have this problem with only one picture. Changing the order does not help. If I delete this picture then everything is fine with all other pictures.
Any ideas on how to fix it?

In iWeb 1.0.2 I make modifications in the .js files to delete the controller and autoplay and loop the music for both Macs and PCs and modifications in the slideshow.html files to prevent the slideshow from looping, remove the reflections, and change the timing of each image to 8 seconds. If I upgrade to iWeb v 2.0.2 will I be able to make these modifications? If so, I expect the changes will be different. Are directions available? Thank you.
First, the only thing you mention that is directly support by iweb2 is removal of reflection.
Now to the other stuff, you can not add sound clip to slideshow.html file directly in iweb2, since it's auto-generated by iweb so QT inspector is irrelevant. (someone here is sending you on a wild goose chase)
However, you still can add sound clip to slideshow.html with the same method as in iweb1.
However due to change in site structure and javascript... there is only one slideshow.html, therefore whatever sound clip your add to slideshow.html file; it IS the ONLY clip will play even when you have multiple photo slideshows.
You can modify javascript to control slideshow looping and timing.
As of directions, they are in my head...

Blurry picture when connecting

I have the new iMac w/iSight built in, running Tiger on a cable modem. When I have iChat open, my video preview of myself is crystal clear. When I invite my dad to a one-way video chat, as soon as he "accepts" my picture gets blurry, and is blurry on his end.
He has a G5 with T1 like speeds, running Panther.
Any ideas on why the video gets all blurry?

Have you set your quicktime prefs to you speed, goto sys prefs/quicktime/streaming/streaming speed to T1
In ichats prefs click on video and change bandwidth limit to NONE.

After updating my iPhone 5 to iOS 7.1.1, my back camera doesn't auto focus anymore, and it takes blurry pictures. What do you think I should do?

Hello Megeedolore,
It sounds like your rear facing camera is not functioning correctly. I would start by quitting all the open apps on the phone with the following article:
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that and restart the phone and test the issue again:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If the issue persists, and you have a protective case, remove the phone from the case and retest the issue.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Regards,
Sterling

How to ungroup a set of pictures in playback on powershot sx60

I often hit the wrong button an a group of pictures I shot get into group set playback. I cannot find in the manual how to ungroup these pictures - which then stops me from magnifying a image in playback to check it out. Is there a way?

Solved!

Hi ballina!
Thanks for the post.
Pressing the <UP> button will display [Display All Images], then pressing the <FUNC/SET> button will cancel group playback.
