N73 camera help

Hi,
Just bought N73 and I'm not sure if the camera is faulty..the quality at 3mp is very washed out when viewed on my pc, average file size is a mere 244kb, when compared to my friends K800i (average file size for 3mp 700kb), the ericsson beats it hands down in quality, any advice?

N73 - camera problem

i have a problem with my n73 camera. when i open camera cover,and camera starts,at once it show "system error" message and it quit's operation. i had that problem three times now,this is third. last two times i did *#7370# reset code and camera worked fine for a while, but the problem comes back. i don't want to reset my phone over and over again,can you help me fix that? thanks in advance

If it works after a reset but stops again soon after, I suspect it may be due to an application you may be reinstalling on your phone after the reset. The challenge would be to figure out which application it may be. The good news is it is not hardware related as a hardware issue cannot be resolved with a reset.

N73 Camera dissapointing, purple/pink bleaching

Hi folks, just spent a lot of money on a N73, when taking a picture on the main camera, once auto focus has fixed an image of a pale pink / purple appears which is way off the mark interms of true colour andquality. However all apeears ok as the captured image is then displayed. But upon uploading to my computer the image is again pink/purple in coloue especially on the white subject. I have tried 2 N73's and they are noth the same.
My ols N70 2m camera produced far superior pics than this.
Any one else experienced this and is there an firmware software upgrade available? as it stands the camera isn't worth using asnd wish i'd bought a sony erricson

You would think most of the reviewers are color-blind based on their enthusiastic write-ups on the Nokia N73 camera.
Besides the issue of compression, the camera's auto-white balance function also seems to be poor. If you want better looking images, manually select white balance - you'll find that even your outdoor shots will come out a little bit better - or try fixing white balance on your existing photos and you'll see remarkable improvement.
Unfortunately, it does not seem to be possible to have the camera set by default to a particular white-balance mode - every time you restart it is back to 'Auto' and the disappointing colors (black is nearly always off).
But the most frustrating thing of all (I'm actually willing to pardon the suboptimal colors) is the shutter lag. The bottom line is that either the processor or the S60 operating system is not up to the task of taking a standard snap-shot. The shutter lag on the camera (even if you choose images with less pixels) is huge. To see why it's probably a software/hardware issue, just look at how slow the phone is at opening most Java applications or even loading up the screen for a new SMS after you press a short-cut button.
There really are many excellent features on the N73, but as far as the camera is concerned, Nokia has over-promised and under-delivered.

In need of camera help

Hello everyone. I just got a Rogers BlackBerry Curve 8310 used from friend. Other then having a crack in the screen ( which I intend to get fixed ) it had no problems and ran smoothly. A couple days ago I tried to open my camera and a message came up saying `` Could not start the camera. Close other applications and try opening the camera again``. I had used the camera for a couple days with no problems before this happened. I did a bit of research online to see if anyone else had had this problem and apparently its fairly common but none of the solutions I read worked. I tried the battery pull out, I tried wiping the phone. I deleted all of the apps I didn't need. All though I know how to delete apps and such I am not quite sure I am exiting the ones I have properly.The only solution I read that I have not yet tried is taking apart the phone and pushing the camera lense back into place because I would rather not mess with it if it is not necessary. I suppose being new at this it could be any little thing I am doing wrong that caused this problem.
Since I am new at this and I am just learning as I go, if I didn't give enough info about the problem or maybe wasn't clear feel free to ask for details if you think you know what to do because I need help very much.
I apologize if this was a dumb question or if I posted this in the wrong spot.
Thanks for reading my post

You don't even need to take the device apart. Just remove the battery cover and press downward on the camera lens. This is the fix that most people have said has been successful when this problem occurs.

Loads of trouble with n73, please help me.

Ok, I bought the n73 about a month ago, and I've been happy with it. A bit on the slow side, but acceptable.
Now since about a week, the damn thing has been driving me crazy. First, it started losing network connection, no calls in or out. So I went through the menu, thinking I can find the problem. Then the phone starts crashing. First only once or twice, no nearly 70% of the time I cannot do ANYTHING with it. The nokia screen shows up and no buttons, not even the on/off button, work. Sometimes it starts working by itself in a few minutes, but usually it just stays that way. I have tried to update the software, but everytime I try to connect, either the connection breaks off or it crashes. I downloaded the pc software, but it wont connect that way either.
I'm really starting to think it hardware based, since I never dropped it or gotten it wet or anything. But I'm still hoping someone here knows how to deal with this. Please help me!

Have you used it before? It sounds like it's open a default - and corrupt - catalog.
You can create a new one and start from scratch by holding down control as you start it.

Importing movie with Sony camera help

I have a Sony Handycam DCR-HC38 video camera and have recorded some video that I would like to import into my imovie 08... I have the chord (USB) that connects the camera to my mac, and have plugged them in and my mac doesn't recognize my camera. I've turned my camera on, played back video on my camera, and still nothing.
Anyone know any tips on how to get my mac to recognize my camera? Any help would be great. Thanks!

You can't import from any tape based camcorder without a Firewire cable. If you have the newest MacBook Pro, it will have a 9 pin port, in which case you need to buy a 4 to 9 pin cable. If you have an older MacBook, it will need a 4 to 6 pin cable. If you have a new MacBook, you are out of luck as there is no firewire port.
All firewire cables, or iLink From Sony, are the same. Shop by price.

Iphoto has stopped recognising my camera - help

I have happily used my sony digital camera and imac to load many thousands of photos and movies over the years. Just recently, when I connect my digital camera, iphoto launches but wont recognise camera - just shows that spinning coloured disc. Doesnt seem to be the camera as Finder recognises all the files perfectly. I have iphoto 9.2.1, iphoto upgrader 8.1 and mac OSX 10.6.8. Its driving me nuts ... any help appreciated.

A much better and safer work flow is to upload your photos (using a card reader is even better than a USB cable) and keep the photos - after yu have properly disconnected the camera (or removed teh memory card) and at least one backup cycle has completed then use your camera to reformat the card - this protects agains losing photo do to software/hardware/human errors and renews teh cared format every time so it is aways fresh
I personally rotate tjhrough three large memory cards so by the time I erase the olders card I have gone through several months of backups

Flip Video Camera Help

I'm not sure this is the right forum to ask this question, but this was the closest one I could see with what my issue is.
My daughter wants a USB type video camera for Christmas. I have been looking at different ones and really like the Flip one, but I don't know much about them. I kind of wanted to stay under $100 for this. Does anyone out there know alot about these? Kohl's had a Shift 3 brand for like $50 this week. It's resolution is 640X480 and the Flip is full VGA. I guess I am confused by what this means. Is paying the extra money worth it for what these things are? Help please? THANKS! Kelly

theme of this board is video on Mac.. a device recording 640x480 isn't compatible with most common editors (iMovie, FCE) ..
have a look on this list: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3290?viewlocale=en_US
these devices are tested and proofed, some Flips are on that list ..
a few things to consider:
• she's doing some recordings and then ... ? keywords: editing, DVD burning, MobileMe purchasing..
• many snapshot cams offering 'video' too... two-in-one .. ?
• Grandpa told me: +buying cheap means buying twice+ - you get 'real' camcorder for less than 200€ .. is this more: "look, Youtube/Facebook/ .. no shirt hands!" or the very young Spielberg on her way to stardom .. ? movie-making is a fantastic hobby for kids (my son actually writes a 'script' .. he's 9 )

Problem with camera help

good morning, I have a problem with my ipad 2 camera photos, are blurry not sharp as it should, someone can help me with this please

Be sure the camera is clean on your iPad!
If you're stuck within an app or you've noticed a problem, simply hold both the home button and sleep/wake button at the same time. It's important to keep your fingers on these buttons until step 3.
After a few seconds the red ‘slide to power off' screen will appear, simply ignore this. Ensure your fingers are still holding down the home and sleep/wake switch.
Shortly after you should see the Apple logo, it's now safe to let go of the iPad's buttons. Your iPad should now boot, beware this process can take up to 15 minutes or so.
