I took a really good picture with my MBP isight camera through ichat?

This might seam like a dumb questions. But I need to get the buddy picture photo I took through ichat, using my MBP internal camera. Where can I find the photo on my computer. Tried Recent Photos, iPhoto library, can't find it. Clues?

(1) If you took it using the iChat > Video > Take Snapshot command, it is on your desktop, entitled "Video Snapshot." If you took more than one snapshot, the names will be "Video Snapshot-x" where x is a number.
(2) If you took it with the iChat > Change My Picture... command, it is in your
User/Library/Images/iChat Recent Pictures folder unless you have changed the folder location in the choices bar at the top of the "Buddy Picture" dialog window that for this command.
If you changed the location, it will be wherever you saved it. If you do not remember, you can try looking for the file name "Recent " with Spotlight. If Spotlight can find images that start with "Recent ", you can manually view the ones you made on a particular date to see if you recognize the one you want.

Can you take good pictures with your Z1 Compact?

Hi,
So many people here complaining about the overall picture quality of Z1C (I’m one of them).
Sony offered me to send my phone to their service center so they could check if something was wrong with my phone.
I wonder if it could be the case and that after being fixed by Sony it could be a decent camera without the overprocessing, lack of detail and the noise seen on all my pictures now?
So i’d like to hear from you, please let us know if you are able to take good quality pictures. Maybe we are just unlucky people with bad units.
Also, do you think that the service center can actually do something with a bad phone or i'm just wasting my time?
Thanks

Hi,
camera on my Z1C does fairly good images (in manual mode, good light conditions), but I do think it's absolutely inadequate to the sensor size and resolution - there is extremely much noise in all of the pictures. In low light conditions, my HTC Sensation (over 3 yrs old, 8MP) does a better job than my Z1C, which is really sad. The post-procesing must be somehow flawed in Sony's phones (last Sony's phone I had that took IMO adequately good pictures was the Xperia S), because Apple or Samsung can produce quite the same (in good light), if not better photos (definitly in low light), with much worse optics.
There are many test photos in the internet reviews, which are probably the best you can take with the Z1C. I'd say it's a general problem of Sony, nothing they can fix at the Service Center, but if the procedure is covered in your warranty, it's probably worth a shot - your lens could be defected, resulting in blurry photos.

Taking good picture with 701

I have a Nokia 701 but I have yet to figured it out how to produce good quality pictures with it.
Mostly I have to take pictures of small-ish objects. That are not far away. Meaning objects that are about 40 to 60cm away. I always get the object I need to take all fuzzy and everything behind it clear.
What am I doing wrong? What setting do I need to change?
Please help me as I am a total idiot when it comes to taking pictures.
Thanks,
Tarmo
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hey Tarmo120, Welcome to the Nokia Forums!
How close are you shooting exactly?
All lenses have a minimum distance at which they are able to focus, with most lenses this distance is around 0.5m.
Anything under this distance the lense will not focus on, and as a result will focus on whatever else it can. Camera's built into Nokia devices are not designed with Macro photography in mind, and are designed for more general photography purposes.
The way you can over come this is by taking the shot from further away but using more zoom, it will slightly improve the image quality however you will start to lose detail in resolution.
I hope this helps

Can't take pictures with Image Capture - Canon Camera

I can't take pictures using Image Capture using either my Canon Power Shot A710IS or my husband's SD600. I can download pictures with both cameras, but if I switch to shooting mode, Image Capture says "No Image Capture Device Connected." I know it worked with my PowerShot A75, but my *&%$ son broke it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I would call (800) 828-4040 Canon Tech Support. I have found them very helpful, and its easier than typing here

Very dark picture with built-in iSight

Hi,
with my 3 month old intel iMac it seems that the picture I get with the built-in iSight is much darker than with my previous white iMac G5 with built-in iSight.
My new iMac sits in the very same place as my previous iMac G5, yet the picture quality in terms of brightness is only mediocre.
Is there a way for me to adjust the settings for my iSight?
Has anybody else noticed this? Could it be a hardware problem?
Thank you,
Torsten

Have you closed and opened Photo Booth? This is often all that is required.
This also can help:
Open the iChat application>video preview. If it is dark as well select:
iChat>change my picture>take a snap shot. Close iChat and open Photo Booth.
I haven't found the sniper solution yet, it doesn't happen very often.

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.

What format do I use for to edit with footage from Isight camera (Mpeg-4)

I've been having trouble with the rendering of clips in the timeline. I'm using 3 video tracks and all of them were recorded on my Isight camera, making all of them mpeg 4 files so when I first imported them, every time I changed one little thing on the timeline, it all had to be rendered again but it took forever. So I went to easy setup and changed the format a few times to see if any would work since I haven't had this problem before but this is the first time I'm using clips from my isight camera. Does anyone know what format to use or do I need to convert the files?
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

You need to convert the media into a format that's natively editable in FCE. You can use MPEG Streamclip to do that.

Using a different webcam with Intel iMac with built-in isight cam.

Hi...I hope someone can shed some light on this.
I have an intel core duo iMac 20 with built-in isight.
I use Yahoo Messenger (the new version) and have no problems getting my isight to work with it.
For most circumstances, the built-in isight is fine... but sometimes having a camera with a zoom feature and the ability to pan further up or down would be most beneficial.
I also own a usb Logitech (pro-4000) webcam (the last series for which they have Mac support) and have installed the latest Mac drivers for it. I can get the Logitec to run its built-in applications, but when I try to select a webcam to use for Yahoo (in the yahoo preferences webcam section), the only selection available to me is the built-in isight.
Is there any way to get the option to choose between the Logitech and the isight?
Thanks for any help you can give me...

Anyone here have good experience with iPhone compatible Ip Cameras?

Hi
i wanted to know if anyone here actually owns a decent camera they can recommend with a iPhone that records to SD remotely or when motion detection is activated (remotely), has night vision, an zoom tilt or simply works so good and you can use a few at the same time.
i tried a few lower end linkseys and d-links models as well as rimax fixed and wireless models, all which where a mess to set up since the software was written for PCs and some only ran on internet Explorer which does not exist on mac osx any more.
So please let me know
Cheers

How does working in wide screen seem when you want full pages?
I have a Dell 20+ (24", I think) at the office. It is 9:16 ratio and a delight to use with InDesign. I regularly compose with binding in mind, so this allows me to have pallets open and view the full spread at the same time. However, if you are needing large type on your icons and menu bars, then you will lose a lot of real estate. I'm not sure you will be able to get the full benefit I receive. I have the resolution set to the monitor's native resolution.
At home, I work with a 15" laptop (9:16) and a second monitor (4:3) that is the same width as the laptop. The second monitor is an LCD and very old (hardware age), so it doesn't do well at the same resolution the laptop does. But the laptop is shorter than the old monitor. Anyway, I do my page view on the laptop because of the better resolution. I put all my menus and pallets on the other monitor. This works well.

How to delete pictures with iPhoto off your camera roll?

I bought iphoto to help me organize pictures on my Ipad and Iphone. I especially like the idea of being able to compair two or more similar pictures and save the best photo and delete the copies that weren't as good. I liked this feature but then discovered that it was not deleting the pictures off the camera roll.
I would love someone to tell me how to delete pictures in iphoto so they are removed from my Camera Roll at the same time. Being able to look at two pictures at the same time and decide which one you want to keep is great, but if I can't delete the one I don't want it is a waste of time.

Titan2,
Thanks for the reply, I agree that the Iphoto needs to be the stock app. Hope it isn't too long.
Ralph,
I agree that the iphoto for the ipad might not be the best place to organize, but when you are retired and traveling you would like to select the pictures you want to keep and not wait until you get home. The camera roll doesn't let you compair two or more photos to see which one is best, Iphoto does but I want the poorer photos off the ipad so I don't have to wait until I get home and I want to use the memory for the best photos. I'm trying to figure out a round about way so I know which ones to delete on the camera roll.
I thank both of you for your comments.

Video out of synch with audio using isight camera

Anybody have any solutions?
I am recording using the built-in isight. What seems to be happening is that the first one or two seconds of audio is not being recorded, so it looks like the video is a few seconds behind the audio. Any ideas how to fix it--that is, without having to extract the audio and sync it manually?
thanks

Sorry that didn't help, Jon.
This kbase search makes me wonder if perhaps you have some kind of conflict with something you are doing in Logic or some other AV Pro App?
If you can rule that out, too, somebody else might have suggestions. It may help them to know if you have exactly the same problem when you try to record movie clips with some other application.
I have no other ideas.

Take picture with built in camera

How can I take a picture with the MBP built in camera?

Open PhotoBooth in the Applications folder. I believe Command- T will trip the shutter. Check in the Menu bar.

When i take a picture with flash the camera goes black

Whenever I try to take a picture with flash on my camera goes black.

There are two issues that come to mind... the first (hopefully it's this one) would be that you have a software issue that could be solved by restoring your iPhone from a back up...
The other would be that you have a hardware issue with the camera ... if the camera worked fien before you upgraded, then likely it's a corrupted software file that can be solved by doing the restore.

ISight camera built in - good quality?

Hello, I am about to purchase the 24 inch cinema display for my new Harpertown 3.0 Ghz mac pro 2008. I already bought the Nvidia GT 120 and wanted to know is the isight camera thats built in a much better camera than say, rocketfish which is a 3rd party camera?
Problem is that when I am in ichat AV, i am told by the other end that my video is very choppy and losing frames, while in skype its somewhat better, though still choppy somewhat.
Is this a problem with my webcam or is this a problem with the computer? I haven't done a video chat on the 2008 harpertown, but when I had the Woodcrest 2.66 Quad-core mac pro before it, I was told that in ichat av the video was still choppy and losing frames.
I know I sort of mixed up my questions in here, but I really need to know how good or great is the isight camera and will it give me degraded performance in ichat av like the rocketfish?

How to make pictures by the built-in camera of MacBook Pro?

I don't succeed in making pictures with the built-in camera of MacBook Pro.
Neither the program i-Photo can be downloaded.
Both items worked perfect when I bought the laptop a couple of years ago.
What went wrong?

You can take pictures with "PhotoBooth".
You can use all kind of picture effects as well.
