N70 - Camera photo problem

Okay, when i take pictures with my n70 and view the picture later in my gallery it may be on its side (either) upright and only use half of available space on screen. I thought it to do with settings but cant seem to figure it out.

My N70 has just gone back to be fixed with a camera fault(s).Tried to take pics,makes the sound, then white bar appears at the bottom without "options" or "back" and would not save to anywhere, when it did save once all I got was a pic of something that looked like a neopolitan ice cream block, (pink,white & brown stripes) but it was a pic of a house! Strange my phone went back today.. (wednesday pm) I only got it back 2 days ago, with major software faults??!!

    E-mail photos (15) to personal e-mail, open file with internet, copy to iPad, result iPad copies, loads, and displays images in camera roll.  I used same images I loaded to SD from desktop in attempt to keep everything equal.
    Side note: I received a notification (push to my device) to from Apple to update software.  The operating system was updated to what I have now.  I don't recall if the one success I listed above was before or after the OS update.
    Discussion
    Lighning cable advertised as useful in transfering images (pictures) to iPad.  I read prior to purchase what image files were supported.  I began with high hopes, and now I'm very deflated.
    I've hacked and hacked and tried and read and tried and... I can't solve this problem.
    A resolution (without additional expenditures) is greatly appreciated.  Thank you in advance to everyone for your consideration and help.

    There's a step by step in the manual
    http://support.apple.com/manuals/
    There is no specific naming convention beyond must be in the DCIM folder and  must have 8 character names. myphotos.jpg for example.
    I've successfully used SD cards to import videos off my computer onto my iPad, they just have to be named right.
    The reason for the work arounds is, in Apple's work flow, you use the camera kit only to interface with your camera, if you want to import from your computer, you use iTunes. So that's the methods they favor. Transferring from your computer to a card to your iPad via the kit is a non-supported work around, which is why you have to basically fool the iPad into thinking those images came directly from the camera.

  • Loss of Captions only in Olympus Camera photos

    Loss of Captions only in Olympus Camera photos after migrating from Mac OS 10.5.11 and AP2 to Mac OS 10.6.4 and AP 3.03
    I have had a problem where the captions written in Aperture 2 on a PowerMac G5 PPC running Mac 10.5.11 are no longer visible after migrating the photos to a new iMac running Mac OS 10.6.4 and AP 3.03. This occurs only in photos taken on Olympus Digital Cameras, no other brands are affected that I’ve seen (i.e. Nikon, Casio, Canon, Pentax). It occurs in both Preview and Aperture 3, replacing the previous Caption data with “OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA”. However, if the same photo is returned unchanged to the older Mac, the correct captions are still visible. Also, Graphic Convertor and CS2 are able to read the correct captions in the IPTC data on the new system. Brand new photos imported directly into AP3 in the new system do not seem to be affected, although I have not used it enough to be sure that it will not happen in the future.
    I believe that this is a problem with a change in how the new Mac OS reads IPTC data. I think the new system reads data from the EXIF (and XMP) fields in preference to the IPTC information, and if there is any information in those other fields, it will not read the IPTC caption. For most camera brands this is not much of a problem, because they do not automatically place any caption information in these fields. However Olympus seems to desire to place it’s name everywhere in the metadata, and their standard metadata include writing “OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA” in the EXIF caption field (a very good reason never to use Olympus cameras in my opinion). If you ever have used Photoshop or Photoshop Elements (I have used fairly old versions only, this may have changed) to edit your photos in Aperture or previously in iPhoto and then migrated to Aperture, I noticed that the photos then have XMP metadata with “Olympic Digital Camera” written in many different fields, which also takes precedence over the IPTC caption in the Mac OS 10.6.x.
    It is a very difficult problem, as once the AP2 library and referenced masters are brought over to the new system and upgraded to AP3, everything looks fine initially in the AP3 Library - even the captions are still there. However, pretty soon Aperture will start to realize that something has changed in the masters (even though nothing has really changed in the photo itself, just the way the system reads the IPTC metadata) and it will start to update the library, replacing your captions with “Olympus Digital Camera”. If you catch it early and try to stop the “updating” by using the “Write IPTC metadata to Masters” command, it will often not do anything, sometimes it will fix the problem for some photos and other times it will proceed to overwrite your previous captions with the Olympus caption - so don’t do that! I have tried all kinds of work arounds, and many of the more obvious options don’t help. I contacted Apple Support and Aperture, their response was that it was Olympus’ problem and a problem with the IPTC conventions. Olympus had no useful options either.
    The best solution I have found so far is using ExifTool to remove the EXIF image description field, and the whole XMP box if the photo has been edited with Adobe products in the past. It’s time consuming process and a little intimidating for a terminal neophyte like me, but it’s easier than rewriting thousands of captions (and even if you do rewrite them in Aperture, Aperture will still change it back to “Olympus Digital Camera” once it decides that the master is somehow different than before). I will try to describe what has worked for me - some situations may be different. In particular, I suspect that writing the IPTC data to the masters upon exporting them for migrating to the new system makes this problem worse, as it causes Aperture 3 to realize that something has changed in the masters and make it update them; however often the masters without the IPTC will not be recognized for reconnecting. Consolidating the photos projects to be exported to the new system seems to help prevent problems within Aperture with the captions, but if you ever export the masters or use referenced masters, the problem will still be there until the EXIF caption is removed. I previously exported the masters (with the IPTC written them upon export in AP2) and then reconnected them in AP3, but this often seems to cause more problems with lost photos, time changes (mostly in the Adobe edited photos) and AP3 recognizing the master as “changed” and updating it, thereby losing the original captions.
    Rule No. 1 - if at all possible, keep a copy of your original masters and Aperture 2 libraries as back ups (and it’s nice to be able to use them on your old system) - I’ve had to re-use them several times until I got things right. If your AP Libraries and masters are on a external HD, it may be best to make an exact clone of it (with the exact same name for the HD), so that you will not have to reconnect or relocate your masters.
    You will probably want to see if you really have this problem before trying to fix it. Open the master taken with an Olympus camera that had a caption written to it in Aperture 2 in Preview and look at the caption information (command-I) under IPTC - if it says “Olympus Digital Camera” where you previously had something else, then it’s a problem. Under the TIFF (which is really from the EXIF data) box in Preview information, it will say the same thing under image description. With the same photo, if you import it into Aperture 3, it will also have “Olympus Digital Camera” as the IPTC caption. If it is already in Aperture 3 from a previous version, if you click on the photo for a full view, you may see the previous caption “update” to “Olympus Digital Camera”. Your actual master is okay (you can look at it in CS, Graphic Convertor, or an older Mac running 10.5. If you have never written anything in the IPTC caption, this problem is not visible, but you still have the EXIF Olympus caption waiting there to cause trouble in the future.
    If you already have problems with changing captions on several photos in Aperture 3 Libraries, it is usually easier to just start over than to fix the photos one by one. Most fixes keep on reverting back until you get rid of the EXIF:ImageDesription box with “Olympus Digital Camera” in it. My process has been as follows:
    Export the Aperture 2 Projects with consolidated masters to an external HD or your new computer.
    2. Prior to opening an Aperture Library that you are migrating to MacOS 10.6 - Aperture 3, importing a project , or reconnecting to the masters from an imported Library or Project, use ExifTool to remove the EXIF image description in the masters. If you have used Photoshop or Adobe products which leave an XMP metadata field, it is probably better to remove this also at the same time.
    To use ExifTool:
    I will describe this in more detail for those of us (like myself) who know nothing about using terminal.
    A: Download and install the free EXIF-tool. (Many, MANY thanks to Phil Harvey, I think that it’s thanks to people like him that the world progresses).
    B: I found it helps to have just one folder where I run ExifTool on the same HD where I am planning to store my Aperture Libraries and-or referenced masters. Name it something like “EXIF-ProcessingFolder”, and then you can move the projects or the folders with your masters in and out of it without having to copy them, and you can always use the same script - which help prevent errors! Put the unopened projects or folders with the masters you want to remove the EXIF image description into this folder. Don’t forget to keep a back-up copy of your photos!
    C: Open Terminal (under Utilities in Applications). You will see
    “last login: xxxx on ttys000
    Network name: ~username$” and an open box (which becomes solid grey when active in terminal)
    Note that your mouse will not work in Terminal, you must use the keyboard and arrow keys to move around the text (copying and pasting does work).
    D: First we will “change directory” to get to the place we want to work on:
    -in the open box at the end of the last line in the terminal, type “ cd “ (space-cd-space, no quotation marks) - the space after cd is important - and then drag and drop the icon for the “EXIFProcessingFolder” that you made in the previous step on your HD to the open box after “ cd “. Before you hit return, copy the file path (it will look something like ” /Volumes/NameofYourHD\ Folder/ Subfolder\EXIF- ProcessingFolder”), and copy it into the PASTEFilePathHERE part of the command line below. (I keep several copies of the command line on a document to paste and copy from). THEN hit return, and terminal will tell you where it is at like this: “NetworkName:EXIF-ProcessingFolder UserName$”.
    E: I like to check where I am at this point, so I type in “ls” (I remember it as “let’s see”) and hit the “return” key to see the contents of the folder where the terminal is at. It should return a list of the different projects, folders or files in the EXIF-ProcessingFolder. That’s good. (If it doesn’t do this, start over with the “ cd “ command to change directories until you’re in the right place).
    F: Now copy the entire command line including the substituted “PASTEFilePathHere” from below and paste it into the open box in the terminal and hit return. It will start processing your photos. You can watch its progress if you want by looking at the Date Modified of the Subfolders (but not files). When it is all finished, there will be a message in the terminal stating how many files were processed, how many were changed and how many unchanged. It may take a while; often I will receive some error messages in the terminal while it is working, mostly about duplicate rotation information - I just ignore it.
    G: When it is finished, type “exit” in terminal, it will reply with “logout [Process completed]”, and then you can quit Terminal. I have not found out the way to stop the process if I need to while it is running, so if I need to I quit terminal, and that stops the process.
    Here are the command lines to use with ExifTool
    (copied and modified from Casamagnolia-wSzxs8’s post)
    To delete the EXIF:ImageDescription of photos in a folder without subfolders: (you do not have to paste the folder location with this command, but the terminal must be in the correct directory)
    exiftool -P -overwriteoriginal_inplace -m -EXIF:ImageDescription= *.jpg
    To delete the EXIF:ImageDescription of Aperture Projects, Aperture Libraries or photos in a folder with subfolders (i.e. if your folders are separated by dates) - (it’s all one line without a return, you need to paste the File Path from step D above over the “PASTEFilePathHere” and then copy the whole thing and paste it into the terminal; mind the spaces; if you include the return at the end it will run as soon as you paste it into the terminal.):
    exiftool -P -r -overwriteoriginal_inplace -m -EXIF:ImageDescription= PASTEFilePathHERE
    (an example of final script for recursive folders): exiftool -P -r -overwriteoriginal_inplace -m -EXIF:ImageDescription= /Users/userName/Desktop/EXIF-ProcessingFolder
    please note that this script will change files in the file path pasted into the command, even if you are not currently in that directory from step D above.
    To delete the EXIF:ImageDescription AND the entire XMP metadata fields (for files previously processed with Photoshop, which now have the Olympus Digital Camera in several XMP fields) of photos in a folder with subfolders (i.e. if your folders are separated by dates) - (it’s all one line without a return, you need to paste the File Path from step D above over the “PASTEFilePathHere” and then copy the whole thing and paste it into the terminal; mind the spaces; if you include the return at the end it will run as soon as you paste it into the terminal.):
    exiftool -P -r -overwriteoriginal_inplace -m -EXIF:ImageDescription= -XMP= PASTEFilePathHERE
    (my limited explanation of the commands are -P saves the date-time of the original format; -r processes the sub-folders recursively; -m decreases the number of error messages; -overwriteoriginal_inplace copies the original file and pastes it onto the changes; -EXIF:ImageDescription removes the EXIF:ImageDescription metadata box; -XMP removes the entire XMP metadata file (I couldn’t figure out how to get rid of just the fields with Olympus Digital Camera written in them, and I don’t see any loss of information that I use, and as an added benefit, I suspect that it helps prevent incongruencies in reading the time & time zone between Aperture and PhotoShop).
    After processing the files with the ExifTool, I then move the projects or folders of referenced masters back to where I intend to keep them permanently (so that I don’t have to relocate them in Aperture later on after reconnecting with them).
    Import the project or upgrade the library in the new system with Aperture 3. If the Aperture Library is already connected to the referenced masters, do not to open it before you have removed the EXIF:ImageDescription from the masters, as it will start to change the caption information in Aperture, and then you will have to manually change the captions back in Aperture.
    If the library is using referenced masters and these are in a new place from the last time the library was open, reconnect to the masters by going to Located Reference Files under the File menu, and navigate to where the masters are and reconnect all. Sometimes some photos will not reconnect, in which case you’ll have to re-import them. You will not need to reconnect the photos if you have already been using the Aperture Library and the photos are already connected, but it would be good to make sure they are all still connected.
    Check to see that the problem is fixed - open some of the previously affected masters in Preview and you should see the correct Captions now. If you had already been using the Aperture Library and the caption still shows “Olympus Digital Camera”, check the master in Preview to make sure it’s fixed, and then change the caption in Aperture. Check your library for captions with “Olympus Digital Camera” (in the search box - Add Rule - IPTC - Caption includes...); if you have used Photoshop in the past to edit your photos and didn’t remove the XMP boxes, check them also (by searching in EXIF:Software - Adobe in the search box) for “Olympus Digital Camera” captions and check the time of the photos (they may be 1 or more hours off). Be sure to click on a photo to make sure it won’t “update” and change the caption again.
    I hope this helps other people with the same problem. It took me ages to get it figured out and it is a very tedious and time consuming process. I wish Apple would consider how this could all be avoided. Please feel free to add suggestions or comments.

If you had already been using the Aperture Library and the caption still shows “Olympus Digital Camera”, check the master in Preview to make sure it’s fixed, and then change the caption in Aperture. Check your library for captions with “Olympus Digital Camera” (in the search box - Add Rule - IPTC - Caption includes...); if you have used Photoshop in the past to edit your photos and didn’t remove the XMP boxes, check them also (by searching in EXIF:Software - Adobe in the search box) for “Olympus Digital Camera” captions and check the time of the photos (they may be 1 or more hours off). Be sure to click on a photo to make sure it won’t “update” and change the caption again.
    I hope this helps other people with the same problem. It took me ages to get it figured out and it is a very tedious and time consuming process. I wish Apple would consider how this could all be avoided. Please feel free to add suggestions or comments.

    my iphone 5 32 gb has an camera autofocus problem, please help me solve this

    Hi teejayfs,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you've noticed unexpected behavior with your iPhone camera, start with these steps to isolate or resolve the issue:
    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.

  • Since upgrading to Maverick my iPhoto does not consistently download my Nikon or my Canon camera photos.

    Since upgrading to Maverick my iPhoto does not consistently download my Nikon or my Canon camera photos. Occasionally it will recognize and download photos, most of the time though it hangs in "loading" mode with nothing downloaded. I've unplugged, replugged numerous times, tried a different USB port, tried the two cameras so it's not the camera or line that's the issue, turned the computer off, turned iphoto off, turned everything else off and stil nothing. I need my photos for my work and can't get to them, this seems to be an issue with Maverick AGAIN!!! Is there a fix? HELP! Thanks!

    iPhoto Version 9.5.1
    Thank you for your help Terence. I had 140 photos on my Nikon, none were viewable in iphoto, in Image Capture 5 were viewable, 135 weren't. I tried importing one to my desktop but it remained static and didn't move over. I just deleted all the photos on my camera, took a fresh photo and after waiting a good 4 minutes finally uploaded to both iphoto and Image Capture. As this took so long for one photo I'm wondering if the memory in my computer would impact the speed. I have 350GB used and 150GB left
    By reformat the cards do you mean the flash card in the camera? I don't know how to do that, it's less that 6 months old.

    My iPad camera photos will wirelessly sync with my iMac and iCLoud photo stream, but the videos do not, is USB connection the only way to transfer videos or is there also a wireless method?

    Videos are not included with the Photo Stream. Photo Stream is for photos only.
    There is not a wireless method for importing videos from the iPad's Camera Roll.

    HOW DO I :  Transfer camera photos taken ( POWER Shot 160 IS) to computer and then E-Mail the out.

    Hi BobHopkins!
    Thank you for posting.
    First, you will need to install the software that came with your camera.  Then, connect your camera and power it on in playback.  Use the Canon software to download the images from your camera.
    Once the images are on your computer, there are a couple of ways to e-mail them.  Canon's ImageBrowser EX has an e-mail option in it that you can use simply by selecting the images you want to e-mail, clicking on the Share button, then selecting Email Images.
    Otherwise, you can open your favorite e-mail application, then use the appropriate options in that application to attach images to a new e-mail.

  • I've suddenly lost multiple apps (including settings, App Store, iTunes, camera, photos etc). How do I get them back?

    I've suddenly lost multiple apps (including settings, App Store, iTunes, camera, photos etc). How do I get them back?

    Thanks for replies, however...
    Tried turning off/on and hard resetting - didn't work.
    Spotlight search didn't find them either.
    Had about 5 pages of apps - now only have 2 so they're not on another page.
    The settings app is missing too so can't reset through settings.
    They were all there last night but my ipad is almost empty when I picked it up tonight.

  • Media Sync doesn't offer option to sync Camera Photos.

    I was trying to setup Link to sync my camera photos back to my desktop via wifi.  When I get in range the mapped drives of my Z10 appear as Y: and Z:.  My camera photos are then accessible via Y:\camera (which is TOO COOL by the way). But, when I go to Media Sync to add those photos for syncing, my only option is {MyDeviceName} to Sync to.  There is not a way to actually select the path that will by synced. 
    Therefore I don't get y:\camera as the sync path, instead I get y:\photos\camera.  My only choice, again, is {mydevicename} so the choice to select y:\camera isn't available. 
    Maybe we could get the option to select a path, or maybe a 4th media option would be "Camera" to go along with Photos, Videos and Documents.
    Loving My Z10, but wishing for more.

    Windows Vista
    Have not tried another cable, but the phone CAN charge using this same cable
    Laptop computer
    Using side USB port, have only 2 on the side
    Under Universal Serial Bus Controller: Intel Family USB Universal Host Controller-2830, plus other prior ones installed
                                                           USB Root Hub
    Also, I do not have Desktop Manager or anything else downloaded. Without having that stuff, should my computer be able to recognize my Blackberry; at least as a USB drive?

  • Slideshow crop photos problem when i close the thumbnail botton

    In the slideshow i use thumbnail photo "turned on" to change the pictures (is it the only way to do it?)  and manage them with crop function but when i later close thumbnail (i don't want visible) photos resize. Any suggestion ?

    I have not a link yet, i'm preparing the graphic layout at the time. I bypassed the problem importing in muse the right photos size without use crop. Maybe i should see better edit photo functions tutorials. I'm new with Muse.

  • Photo problem in Elements7

    I edited several photos through Elements 7 and when I pressed SAVE a box pulled up and I just skimmed it and I thought it just said it was going to group my photo on top of the original, but now when I go to open the photo back up it is not a photo but a box with a crack down the center of it. When I try to pull it up and edit it more it reads "cannot open the picture because it is the wrong type file" I need these picture badly and I cannot even find the original. PLEASE HELP!!!!

    While on the Editor space screen on PSE7, on the top taskbar, the first
    button should be the FILE option followed by EDIT and so on. When you
    click on FILE, one of the options on the drop down window should be
    "Close". This is what I use to close and save my edited images. When you
    are on the organizer this options are not going to be present, these are
    only available on the Editor workspace.

    Photoshop Elements Photo problem in Elements7
    for some reason when i click on it there is not an option for
    File--Reconnect.
    i can now see it using windows, but i can only see it if i choose to open
    it through windows, not if i just look at the thumbnail through windows.
    strange that i can open it through windows and not pse7, and i wonder why
    i do not have a file option.

  • Send camera photo(graph)s to other iOSers without an account?

    Hello.
    Is it possible to do send camera photo(graph)s to other iOSers without an account with far away iOSers? I don't mean nearby option that I saw in iOS v8.1.3 on both iPhone 6 Plus/+ and iPad Air. Or does it require an account (e-mail, Flickr, etc.)?
    Yes, this is newbie iOS question and I assume it can't be done, but double checking with you guys. Thank you in advance.

    Well there are two ways to get at that:
    One is once you are done taking a picture or video there is a box with an arrow going up icon - tapping on that will give the option to send by iMessage, email etc
    Two - when one is in iMessage - there is a camera icon that can either choose from an existing image or invoke the camera for a new one
    (That is what I was doing earlier - when I sent the brief video from CA to NY)
    I will have to retry. I didn't see an iMessage option, but then I had cellular data connection disabled and wifi enabled. Sending videos? Yikes, how big is the file size for that?

    The excellent and free utility Irfanview has the option to remove the EXIF data.
    Simply open and the file and do a Save, or Save As with the original name.
    Surprisingly, the default is to not keep the original EXIF data.
