Nokia 6120 photo poor quality

I've 6120 since last weekend and I like it for the most features it has (HSDPA, quick software) but I'm totally disappointed with the pictures taken from the 2Mpixel camera.
They are absolutely full of rumour (even during the day) and my other nokia (with 1.3mpixel) shots better.
The video is better, maybe a software bug?
Anyone else has this bug ?
Thanks.

I have V 03.70 and the camera is amazingly poor in indoor evening light. Noisy, speckly pictures and random colours all over the place - it's unusable in such conditions.
In bright light it's not too bad, but I still much prefer the pictures from any of my 3 digital standalone cameras, including the 1.3MP one.
The resolution is good enough to take pictures of adverts in windows, instead of writing things down. I use it for that, but I wouldn't use it for anything that's meant to look nice in a picture.
As this is the only phone I've owned with a camera, I don't know if this dodgy quality is normal for phone cameras.

  • Photos poor quality

    I managed to download my old photo collections in the library, but it seems all the photos are of poor quality. The resolution is bad. Is there any way I can fix this problem? Thanks.

    Photos downloaded to the iPhone are optimized for the iPhone and do not maintain their original resolution.

  • IPhone 5 flash on camera stopped working when taking photos & poor quality photos

    iPhone 5 camera flash  stopped  working when taking  photos and poor Quality photos . Flash still works when in torch mode .

    Hey there Jimbo,
    It sounds like your flash has stopped working on your phone and you noticed a decrease in image quality.
    I recommend a few troubleshooting steps here. Start with closing the running apps on the phone:
    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 restart the phone and test it again:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    If the issue persists, I would next backup your device to iTunes, and restore it:

  • Nokia Messaging, a poor quality product

    No week has lapsed since I am using Nokia Messaging without a problem. I just do not recommend it to anyone. Let us all move to a more reliable product and service....maybe Blackberry does the trick..My friends and colleagues using Blackberry speak marvels of it....I only have to regret that I bought a Nokia E71....

    Nokia Messaging is a new product in the final Beta stages, it is not yet a fully launched product. The full launch of the service is expected in the coming weeks/months.
    Blackberry will only do the trick if you are prepared to pay a high financial price, since Blackberry targets its service only at business users not at individual consumers.

  • Why am i getting poor quality photo prints after installing lion using canon pixma 6120?

    After installing Lion, I began experiencing poor quality photo prints on my Canon Pixma 6120 printer.  Prior to Lion, my picture prints were all high quality.  Now, anything black in the picture is faded.

    Lion should not cause the blacks to print faded. The printer drivers used by Snow Leopard and Leopard are the same version as that used by Lion.
    For starters I suggest you check that you have the latest version installed. This Apple KB article shows the MG6100 series has v10.51.2.0 as the latest version.
    I also recommend you do a Nozzle test print. This can be executed from the MG6120 control panel or via the Printer Utilties window (via Print & Scan, select the printer and then open Options & Supplies and then select the Utilties tab).
    If the nozzle test print is okay but the blacks still look faded when printing photos (note the printer has two black ink tanks - one for photos and one for text) then try a reset of the printing system. This will remove the MG6120 from the Print & Scan pane but not the supporting drivers. So you will only have to add the printer again.

  • The photo print quality from my Mac to my Epson Artisan 810 is poor.  When I take the same photo files (JPEGs) to my PC to print to the same printer without even uploading them to the PC, they print brighter and crisper from my PC.

    The photo print quality from my Mac to my Epson Artisan 810 is poor.  I just purchased my iMac for my photography business in Jan. (this is my first Mac).  When I first tried printing, I noticed the quality wasn't as good as I expected it to be.  Then, I had to print 4-3.5x5s on a sheet, so I e-mailed the image to myself and opened it on my PC to print it (much easier to print that way on PC in Windows Photo Gallery - I think it's impossible to print that way in iPhoto).  That's when I first noticed that when I take the same photo files (JPEGs) to my PC to print to the same printer without even uploading them to the PC, they print brighter and crisper from my PC.
    I've already been on the phone and e-mail w/Applecare many times over this issue. We've tried creating a test user and printing from there, and we've tried reinstalling the OS.  I've tried printing from iPhoto, ImageCapture, and Preview apps/utilities, all w/the same result - no comparison to the PC-printed versions (no enhancements have been performed on the PC).
    I'm out of ideas, and so is Applecare.  They say it's most likely a driver issue b/c the printer is outdated, and that the only solution is to buy a new printer.  BUT it is a pain for me to purchase a new printer - it takes days of research due to the nature of my business and the fact that I need a printer that can print directly onto a disc.  I love this printer and don't want to have to buy a new one if I don't have to.

    Yes.  I've checked for updates, and the driver I installed is the same as the one on Epson's website.  I also spoke with Epson Customer Service, which was a dead end.  Apple says the problem is due to an Epson driver issue (blaming Epson), but Epson says that with the older printers, it's actually Apple who creates the driver, so the problem is actually with Apple.  Typical he-said, she-said...
    Maybe not. Probably worth checking here:

  • Poor quality image with doing videos with photos/images HELP!

    Hello,
    I bought Adobe Premiere Element to make videos with pictures. When I do the video, the quality of my photos is good. When I save the video on my computer or I download it on youtube (example) the quality of my photos is extremely poor. Why? Does anyone can help me? Thank you!

    What Project Preset did you choose at New Project? In the case of Video, composed of Still Images ONLY, you would set that to your desired delivery specs. Not so, if you are also using Video.  I tried several types of parameters. Some parameters give poor quality when I upload it to Youtube (for example) and others in the design of video and upload to YouTube. So which settings should I use for photos only ?
    This sounds like you are talking about the Export/Share settings for output to YouTube.
    What I was asking is what did you start off with, when you were at New Project?
    If you are doing an SD Project, you will have either 720 x 480 (NTSC), or 720 x 576 (PAL) pixels in the Project's Frame Size. If that is what you want, then I would Scale your camera original Stills to 640 x 480 (for NTSC), as you have Square Pixels, and the Project will have either 0.9 for NTSC Standard, or 1.21 for NTSC Widescreen).
    PrE can Scale the Still Images, but the Scaling algorithms in Photoshop are much better, and offer more control.
    Now, if you wish to do an HD Project, just choose that as your Preset, and then use the Images in about their original size. Note, there will be some black borders, as the screen-caps most likely have a different Aspect Ratio, than a Video Project, which for HD will be 16:9. Especially with screen-caps, that are pretty low resolution to begin with, I would NOT do any Scaling, and would live with the letterboxing, or pillar boxing, rather than Scale and effectively Crop.
    Also, when Scaling in Photoshop, I do not Save_As JPEG, as it introduces compression, but only as either PSD (Photoshop's native format), or PNG.
    Good luck,

  • Poor quality photo printing

    I am getting very poor quality prints from my new Canon MG6220. I have it set on the advanced photo with glossy paper. Am I missing something? 

    Are you using Canon brand paper? Unless you have the proper profile for other papers you'll get less than ideal prints. The printer (when working correctly) will spray the correct amount of ink onto the paper, but it's matched to Canon paper. IF you use any other brand it may absorb more ink or less than the printer is set to spray. That has a major effect on the look of the photo.
    Also note that most people edit using their monitor set at full brightness, but when they print it's not the same. It's very important to set your monitor's brightness to match what your printer produces.

  • N900 poor photo/video quality

    All photos and videos are very poor quality, somehow blurred, like always to be out of focus.
    I tried in different light situations, different modes,..., but no improvement.
    Maybe I expect too much, but the N900's photo engine is complimented a lot.
    Here is a photo of better quality shooten with my n900:
    http://picasaweb.google.com/saso.celarc/N900Photo?feat=directlink#5430450751711864050
    Often they are much worse, without details.
    Is this normal?
    Regards,
    Sašo

    couple of things:
    1.  when you are taking a picture, do a soft touch on the button until you see the little square corners turn green then, without lifting your finger, press completely down again.
    2.  make sure there are not any finger prints or other filmy/greasy debrit on the lense.  just because there is a cover, your fingers and other items in your pocket/etc. can still touch it.
    my camera takes great pictures in both the 3 and 5mp.  one is just widescreen and the other is square.

  • My new 4GS is taking really poor quality photos, how can I improve them?

    I'm trying out the camera on my new 4S and am shocked at the poor quality. I've taken the same photo in the same light etc with my 3GS and the image is much better, I can see more detail and the texture is smoother. My 4S images look terrible!
    Has anyone else noticed this? Is there a way to alter the settings? Thanks in advance.

    Hi there, i am an iphoneographer from OZ, and i am having the same issue, i have switched from iphone 4 which was upgraded to IOS5 to the 4s with the IOS 5. Since owning the 4s i have had nothing but noisey pictures in low lighting conditions, including cloudy days night time occasions indoors ect, even when using flash.
    I have used different apps, including the standard apple cam, king camera, Pro cam, Focus Plus, and the quality is all the same with the noise, but yet when i take the same pictures with the iphone 4 (which my other half has now) in the same lighting they are fantastic quality. I'm not clear here what the issue is as being an iphoneographer/Photgrapher i though i knew a fair bit about the iphone but this has really stumped me and left me no choice to send out a call for help and ask if other people out there are in the same boat, and have any advice on what possibilities could help fix this, as i miss the quailty on my iphone and dont want to have to swap back to it. Cheers LJ

  • Bad audio quality of Nokia 6120 classic

    Why does my Nokia 6120 classic music/ audio quality is so bad?! When I play the music using the earphone, the audio quality was so bad. I bought this phone 6 months ago.
    3310 >>> 8250 >>> 3120 >>> 6070 >>> 5300 XpressMusic >>> 6120 Classic >>> 5800 XpressMusic

    Welcome Anshhardcore, Welcome to the Nokia Forums!
    If you would like to customise your sound quality I suggest playing around with the equalizer feature. The equalizer feature can be found inside the Media Player. The equalizer has some preset levels but also empty slots for you to make you own custom levels
    I hope this helps and that you are able to achieve a sound quality you are happy with.

  • Very poor quality on photos made with iphone 4

    Since a few weeks i've noticed that photos made with my iPhone 4 have a very poor quality. I've upgraded to IOS 4.3.2 thinking about a software problem, but the quality is still very poor. It´s like out of focus. I submit a just made photo. Any answer? Thanks a lot.
    This photo is made with original photo app and no zoom.

    Only thing I can think of is a focus problem (which could be software) or a lens with some junk on it that causes some blurring.
    Can't offer a solution but can make some suggestions.
    Take  different types of pictures and, just for variety in case it reveals something, take two of each - one touching the screen and then one after touching for comparison.
    Do close-ups and distance shots.  Do indoor and outdoor, with and without flash on the indoor - again, of the same thing so you can compare.
    Might reveal a pattern.  If all are bad, then it probably goes back to the lense or software not working.
    If some come out fine, it would seem to reduce the chance of it being the lens being dirty or something.  On the other hand, if close up shots look good but distant ones don't, it could be either software or the internal focusing hardware isn't adjusting enough for distant shots.
    Just some things to consider.

  • Poor quality of imported photos. Less colours/colors ? [Examples]

    Hi,
    I'm making project in iMovie'09
    I'm mixing movies with photos in my project.
    But in my iMovie project - pictures are poor quality.
    iMovie probably use less colors what you can see on dark parts of photos and movies.
    I read somewhere that it can be only in iMovie preview - when iMovie use worse quality movies for
    faster running. So I exported my movie to different formats to check how it will look like.
    I exported it to BIG, "HD" formats, and also using QuickTime with H.263 compression and without compression at all ( 20 seconds file takes over 800 MB !!!), but the result was almost the same.
    Here you can see some examples:
    http://pokazywarka.pl/imovie-quality/
    The same problem is according to movies - you can see similar bad quality on darker parts of imported movies... Movies in original looks fine.
    Any idea how to solve this problem and improve quality of pictures?
    Best regards,
    Patrick

    I too am having a problem. Mine's not even a picture with huge quality or something, just a an SD video in 16:9. The input format is Apple MPEG-2 SD Camcorder Video, 704 x 480 (834 x 480), Millions. I've exported to dozens of options with a share to media browser, iTunes, export movie, Quick time, etc. and every time I get color bands that aren't in the original. I thought I'd maybe fix the problem by using the "optimize video" feature which converts the file to Apple Intermediate Codec, 704 x 480 (834 x 480), Millions. Still, this video (when selecting reveal in finder) looks great, no banding. Again I export, even export to 16:9 DV (no compression right?) and the banding appears. Everything looks good until I get to that export stage. I don't expect perfection, but if iMovie can handle HD movies I would expect SD to come out looking basically like it went in. Please help.
