Camera picture quality

Hello bought an iPad2 16 g WiFi  from Comet for my wife last week on offer.  Closing down sale. Model was in demo mode.  On my macbook pro I reset it on itunes and got rid of demo mode etc . Anyway I'm rambling on.  During daytime the camera facing out  takes good pics. However at night and under artificial light the picture quality is poor and there's no flash.  I have not bought iphoto yet for this ios.  Will iphoto improve night or arfificial pics?  Will anything else?  Bit dissapointed iphoto wasnt there already.  Also pity photostream doesn't allow videos.
Regards.

Can't expect too much from a 0.7MP camera.

  • Front camera picture quality - iPad 4 - iOS7

    Recently i purchased iPad 4 and upgraded to iOS7. The upgarde was successful.
    But i just noticed, my front camera picture quality is not that good as my friend's ipad's has.
    I dont know whether its beuase of new iOS or the hardware issue with my iPad.
    I tried connecting with local Apple Service Center here, but they were totally blank about it and had no clue why is it so.
    Can anybody help here?

    I also just updated my iPad 2 to iOS7 yesterday and discovered the same issue with grainy pictures. I know what the problem is...my camera is permanently zoomed in 30%, just like when you switch from camera to video. Choosing between video and camera, there is no change in the zoom on screen. This is a software issue and must be fixed with a software update. Has this issue been addressed?

  • A huge disappointment of ics upadte for LWW is the camera picture quality!!

    HELLO SONY TEAM,
                                     After having updated my lww with ICS 10 days ago, the most disappointment that i could find is the quality of the pics taken by the rear camera. Its a big loss for me updating my GB to ICS. The probelm with GB was to be the pics taken using the rear camera had a small size,but it had a good overall clarity. Whereas in ICS the size of the pics taken using the rear camera has increased, but the loss comes with the picture quality which if u compare with a 2mp camera would give a better result then this.
                                      I have proof for it do compare both the pics.(both the pics are untouched)
    Above picture taken with GB runing in the phone.....(size- 1.01mb)
    Above picture taken with ICS runing in the phone.....(size- 1.63mb)
    So, i would like to know from the SONY TEAM, that would u guys help us sorting out the image quality issue ???
    Thank You..

    saptarshi.dey,please post the same scene like no 1 photo but on ICS so we can do a better evaluation .
    i cant do comparison because the two photos are of totally different scene

  • N97 Camera - picture quality

    Having a bit of trouble with the quality of pictures taken from the main camera on my N97.  Although, I have the resolution set to max  (5mp), the pictures that come out dont look anything like 5mp resolution.
    I say this because I had a N82 before this which had a 5mp camera, which I guess was pretty much same as N97.  I still have my old phone so I compared pictures from both (same object, same conditions) and pictures from N82 were still a lot better than N97.
    I have the latest firmware on N97 and have tried all different setting and even tried a hard reset, but cant have it to take good pictures.  Although the size once I copy them to my computer says 2592x1944, the details are no where there what they should be.
    Has anyone had a similar problem or is this a defect in my phone?

    the picture quality on my new N97 seems to be very low.
    when i take daytime photos, they are okay exept that they seem to have a 'shiny paper' look about them.
    last night i was taking some outside photos using the flash and they were dreadful. they had colours all over them and they seemed to have spots all over them except in the immediate centre of the picture.
    very sad.
    one of the main reasons i bought the N97 is to upgrade from the N95, which had a beautiful camera.
    i have v20 firmware.
    i upgraded from the v12 last friday, the camera wasn't this bad before the upgrade.
    it had the shiny paper look about the photos but not the spots.
    the lens was clean. 
    i am not keen to do a reset, in case it goes back to v12
    and often the daytime photos just look dusty and dirty.
    is there anything i can do to improve the photo quality?

  • How come the camera picture quality is so grainy.

    is there anyway to make my camera quality better on my i pad? it is very grainy and not as good a quality as my i phone?
    any suggestions?

    Remember, it IS a 5MP camera, most phones are double or even tripple that these days. Make sure that you have HDR turned on when taking pictures, it will make a difference.
    It will never compare to the iPhone 5S camera.

  • Mid 2009 13" MBP iSight camera bad picture quality in photo booth

    My daughter's stock mid 2009 13" MBP 2.26 ghz intel core two duo has a problem with the isight camera. The isight camera is built in to the screen. The isight camera works some of the time flawlessly and other times it comes out real grainy and with small colored pixels all over the screen like colored static (about 20% to 30% of the photo booth screen is affected but the rest of the screen outside of the photo booth app is unaffected). She only uses it in photo booth but we've tried the iChat app and the same thing happens there too, once she couldn't get the MBP to connect to the isight camera (it just showed a black photo booth screen), so she closed the lid of her MBP and reopened it and it worked. All of the software and firmware is up to date and we've tried resetting the PRAM and the SMC, it didn't do anything to fix the problem. It seems like there's a wire loose in the computer from the screen to the computer base, only because I can move the screen back and forth and the picture quality changes, the amount of static on the picture will move, go away or get worse. I had the screen changed in early 2010 (January or February) (the MBP was about 5 or 6 months old then) at the apple store under warranty due to dirt under the screen's glass (manufacturing defect). The photo booth picture static problem comes and goes, but here lately it comes more than it goes. The screen in general is in good shape and doesn't have any detectable problems with it, it has a good picture and no dead pixels, the problem seems to be only isolated to the isight camera. Can some one help with this problem? How long of a warranty is given on the warranty repairs (like the screen change they did in early 2010)? If apple does a repair on it and finds a wire that has rubbed the insulation off of it on a hinge causing a short and the isight problem, as a result of a sloppy repair from the first warranty repair, will they cover it under warranty again even if it's been over a year since they changed the screen? Also how honest will apple be if they do find out it is a problem caused from the first screen replacement, will they own up to their mistake? If I don't agree with apple's repair decision, can I get a second opinion from an outside source, third party, and if it's diagnosis different than apple's and can be proven, can I still get apple to do and pay for the repairs and labor if it turns out to be their fault from the first warranty screen replacement?
    The reason why I'm asking is, I took my wife's white macbook in about a year ago for the famous cracked top cover replacement (under warranty) and when I got the computer back, the isight camera didn't work, so I gave it back, they took it apart a look at it and said there was nothing wrong with it and gave it back, then the screen wouldn't come on so after 4 hours at the Apple store they decided to send it to Austin, TX. for repairs (I'm in Ft. Worth TX.). Apple in Austin said it needed a new main board. They said the old one had water damage to it. We never had water anywhere near the computer, not even in the same room. It was working fine when we took it in, we took it in just to get the plastic top case, that cracks all of the time, replaced under warranty. And then they wanted us to pay for an $800 main board because some how while they were doing the top cover replacement it got water damaged. I argued with them and they finally gave me a one-time offer of them paying for half of the repair and labor or if I disagreed or left the store I would have to pay the whole amount if I chose to have the repairs done. So I ended up having to pay $467 for a year old macbook main board that was water damaged in their possession during their repairs. I like Apple and their products but I am worried about giving my daughter's MBP over to them for repairs because of this incident, it's an honesty issue with how honest they will be with what they find because they won't give back the old parts for analysis by a third party to verify their diagnosis.
    Thanks for any info and advice anyone can give.

    Hi,
    As a personal note I find long posts like this hard to read if they are not broken up in to paragraphs.
    As I say it is  a personal thing.
    I can give you some information about the camera and laptops over the past few years.
    Basically in early Laptops of the MacBook Pro and MacBook range the cable did tend to fray at the point where it passed through the hinge.  It did take a well used laptop that had the lid open and closed frequently to cause this.  (your 2009 model might just be in that group - I have no firm dates or models I am afraid)
    Later models have this rerouted so that this does not happen.
    However the cable has then tended to get pulled from the camera end and become loose.
    This On Line Self fix site has pages about some models  (The one I have linked to may not be yours)
    I have linked in to later pictures in the sequence but there are navigation points to work back to the start.
    Note:- they use pretty specifc specialest tools as well in these pics.
    Doing this would certail Void any Warranty you have left.
    From Posts mainly in the iChat and the iSight areas I have gathered that it seems common for Apple to replace the Screen as a whole rather than fiddle with getting solely at the camera.
    Apple has this article on Trouble Shooting an iSight
    Basically it says try several apps then try logging in on another Mac User account to see if it is App based or User based or in fact System wide.
    If System wide then resetting the SMC/PMU is the only suggested fix.  (Which I did read you had done)
    In addition to that I would add that testing should be done in different lighting conditions.
    Lighting in the evening or dark that is good enough to read buy is not always good enough for the camera or is not illuminating the right areas.
    Some people have reported that Starting the computer in Safe Mode (then Rebooting afterwards) seems to help.  (it clears out some caches and starts up with reduced extensions)
    As to actual Repairs and any Warranty that may still be in place I cannot say.
    I can say that when people post about problems with repairs a certain stores someone else will tend to post that their experience was different.
    You seem to report two different experiences with the two computers yourself.

  • Picture quality, new camera?

    I bought a new HD camcorder last year the the Sony Hc7. I made a movie with FCp and Color, you can view it here:
    http://www.vimeo.com/1949150
    But still the picture quality is not as good as I want. Anyone know if I will get a significantly better picture if go for a prosumer camera , perhaps the Sony fx7 or even the new Fx100? I really want my images to look good enough for National Geographic , that may be an impossible dream for a non pro , holiday film maker, but will such a purchase get me significantly closer?
    Anyone knowledgable about the camera market that can give some good advice on this one ?

    National Geographic is a big jump up from (as you put it)holiday movies but just to give you an idea:
    I have a JVC trade newsletter that features the GY-HD100U being a work horse for National Geographic and BBC shoots its speced as an entry level HDV camera
    cost £6000 / $ 14000 for camera lens battery

  • Loss of picture quality - HD Go Pro Camer

    I have a go pro helmet cam HD. whe i watch the videos straight off the camera with no editing the picture quality is fantastic. However when i edit the videos in Final cut Express the picture quality goes down. It becomes less clear, and a bit dull. Still good quality but not what the camera actually produces.
    How can i edit it to get the quality back?
    Thanks

    MP4 video that you are importing to FCE is a delivery format that FCE does not handle directly.
    It most likely has a smaller dimension size than the HD codec (Apple Intermediate Codec) that FCE works with resulting in soft looking finished video/DVDs.
    Knowing your Seqeunce setting would confirm this!!
    Right click the Seqeunce icon in the Browser and select item properties for info.
    Do the same for a clip in the Browser and get the info.
    If you tell us the info about the Sequence and Clips we will be in a better position to assist.
    You will most likely get better results by converting your clips to AIC before importing them to FCE.
    A search on this forum will provide the details on "how to".

  • My new Ipad camera takes poor picture quality compare to my iphone 4g. Is it should be so?

    My new Ipad camera takes poor picture quality compare to my iphone 4g. Is it should be so?

    Hi pjl,
    Yes I forgot to mention, the iPad does lose the tether when it sleeps, so I turned sleep off permanently which is probably not great for battery life either!
    I just don't understand why another iPhone4 can connect to the personal hotspot with absolutely no intervention once it knows the password. That's how it should be on the iPad. They are both running the latest iOS5 so why any difference?

  • Good semi-professional camera with higher picture quality?

    Hello,
    I am developing a series of videos for a state's legal system. As of now, we have no camera. Does anyone have any good reccommendations for a semi-professional, affordable camera with a higher picture quality than a normal consumer camcorder would have? Obviously, price pays a factor in this. If I can't find a volunteer videographer, I will have to do the filming/taping myself, and I am not a videographer by trade. I will also be planning to edit the footage using a final cut editing system. And if I have to do the videographer, I would like to use a camera that isn't too complicated.
    Thanks a lot!

    the reason is that many of the online stores are scam artists selling grey market cameras with no extra parts and no warranty
    as well if you try to order the "$1600" camera and don't want any of the extras they will force you to get (which come included with cameras from reputable dealers) suddenly the camera is out of stock and they don't know when it will be in, but you can get the US model (which is what the reputable dealers sell for 3000-3600) for about 4000, plus shipping

  • Significant loss of picture quality in iMovie, what are my other options???

    Hello All,
    I am new to the Mac world moving over from windows.
    Hooking up my dv camcorder (non high-def) to my TV gives a pretty good picture.
    If I use iMovie to import from my camcorder and then iDvd to burn a dvd and play the DVD the picture quality is significantly reduced (looks worse than VHS!).
    I am reading that this is uncorrectable through any settings available in iMovie or iDVD. This to me is unfathomable!
    Being a newbie in the Mac world I don't know what my other options are.
    I read about iMovie HD and Final Cut Express but don't know how they position and can I achieve better picture quality preservation.
    I want my camcorder picture quality better preserved. I’ve certainly gotten much better results on windows with various packages (but have little experience).
    I came into the Mac world believing that this sort of thing is what Mac was great for so a bit surprised.
    How do you folks get around such a significant picture quality loss???
    My home movies through iMovie and iDVD look embarassing for circa 2009!

    I convert my imported dv files to AIC at 1080p before editing.
    There is a small quality drop using this approach, I find it acceptable but some others don't.
    I have added an original dv movie clip, two exports in different formats of the same clip as prepared in imovie 09 and another of the same clip exported to back to dv as prepared in imovie 6, to a disc image of a DVD created in iDVD.
    I don't feel the differences represent the differences some here are reporting they see themselves, see what you think

  • Improving Ibook to TV picture quality?

    Hi.
    I have tried hooking my ibook G4 with my TV (32" CRT) as an external display using the video adapter and a composite video cable.
    Its really only good for viewing pics and video. Web pages and print are unreadable. Is there any way of improving the quality? Is it because of the lack of digital connection or the non-LCD/plasma TV I am using?
    Thanks!
    - John

    If anybody is still following this thread I still haven't quite given up yet! I thought I would just try dragging ten photos out of iPhoto on to the desktop. I then inserted a CD and dragged the ten photo icons directly into the CD icon. Lo and behold when I played this CD, via my DVD player, to my standard definition widescreen TV the picture quality is excellent. It at least has proved to me that it is possible to get good quality TV results from a DVD. The big drawback is that each image takes 3-4secs to scroll down the TV screen which is not acceptable. I presume this is because the method I used has loaded the original full resolution image to the DVD. I thought I would then try 'exporting' the same 10 images to the desktop using the JPEG/MEDIUM/MEDIUM settings and dragging the photo icons to the CD icon exactly as before. When displayed on the TV the picture quality is very poor but of course composes much quicker.
    My tiny compact camera can display these original images on TV perfectly adequately and composes the next photo instantaneously. Amazing! I now conclude (probably completely incorrectly) that to obtain a good quality image via DVD to TV the original full resolution image must be used even though the TV itself doesn't need this. Presumably the image data is corrupted if the iMac is used to reduce the resolution. Is there no simple answer to displaying good quality pictures on a TV screen?

  • FaceTime camera low quality, not recognising screen flash.

    Sorry if this has been mentioned previously in another thread. But is anyone else experiencing this from their MacBook Pro? I have an early 2013, Retina MacBook Pro that I purchased at MacMall in March. Since I purchased the laptop, I have noticed that the picture quality is really bad and that the Photo Booth screen flash no longer is picked up by the FaceTime camera like it was on my previous unibody MacBook Pro from late 2008. Is anyone else having the same issue?
    I have gone to the Apple Store to get it repaired, the Genius recognised the problem and submitted the laptop to have the screen repaired and the clamshell replaced. Once I got the computer back however, the problem was still not resolved. I took it in once more to the Apple Store, this time I was helped out by two other Genius members, but they told me they could see no discernible difference with the picture quality compared to the other MacBooks in the store. They also said that the flash was working even though it clearly is not.
    I called Apple again after I left the Apple Store with no resolution and spoke to a Customer Sevice Specialist who thought the problem was uncommon and she had me download the Capture Data program to send to the engineers. She also had me do a clean instal and she requsted that we would do a partition and try the camera again. I did the clean instal, which took an hour or two of my time. She did not get back to me after about a week or two, so I contacted Apple again and was assigned to yet another Specialist. This time he made me do everything over again. I did the clean instal. I did the partition. I sent Apple the Capture Data several times. He promised me he would get to the bottom of this and find solution. The engineer determined that I needed to uninstal CleanMyMac2 and MacKeeper from my computer because the programs might have been deleting essential data require for the camera to operate properly.
    However after deleting the two programs from my MacBook and following the Specialist's instructions, the photos on my FaceTime camera still came out dark, the camera still did not pick up the built in screen flash.
    My photos look like the ones below regardless of whether the flash is turned off or on.
    After a day or two, the second Specialist called me back and told me that the engineer he was working with determined that the screen flash feature built into Photo Booth is a novelty feature. That is, a feature designed by Apple not to work properly. Has anyone else gotten a resolution from Apple on this? I just want my FaceTime camera to work properly on my premium Apple product. I mean, I did spend a lot of money on this and I want it to work as advertised. Any advice or suggestions on this would be helpful.
    All the creepy photos below were taken on my MacBook Pro Retina with screen flash enabled and disabled via the PhotoBooth application:

    Here is an image taken on my 15" MacBook Pro Retina. Notice the blurry quality of the photo. The colours are dull.
    Here are an image take from the 13" MacBook Pro Retina I bought as a gift. Notice the photo is crisper and the colours are more vibrant.
