PC-CAM 935 Slim - blurry photos

Hello:
After finally digging up the old drivers for the PC-CAM 935 slim, I read through the
manual, and started taking photos. The photos all appear to come out blurry after being
transferred to my PC (Athlon 64 3700+, 1GB RAM, Win XP Pro SP2).
I've set the resolution to different values, tried different lighting, all to no avail.
Thanks in advance

Well, I discovered a problem which I believe is inherent in this model camera.
The camera takes extremely blurry and underexposed shots when you use the macro mode.
No matter what. The macro mode appears to mess up ANY shot.
After switching to landscape mode, I'm getting much better results. Exposure is about
right for a camera this quality, and focus is much better, though still lacking, to be honest.
Anyone have any other ideas on further improving focus?
Thanks

My camera is producing blurry photos before and after ios5. What to do?

My camera is producing blurry photos before and after ios5. What to do?

Jp0man-
There are several reasons a photo might be blurry. It might be out-of-focus, the iPad or subject might have been moving when the photo was taken, or the blur might actually be noise resulting from not having enough light.
Try taking a photo of a fixed object 3 or 4 feet away with a lot of light, with the iPad propped against something solid. If you still get a blurry image, you may have a defective iPad and should contact Apple about it. If you can demonstrate the problem to an Apple Store Genius, you may get a new iPad on the spot.

PC-Cam 935 Slim Flash Problem

I've got this 935 Slim that's not even listed on the site here, so I can't get info.
The flash doesn't often work, even when it is set to do so. What's up? Anyone know?
brenton

Brenton,
Can you elaborate? On what instances in which the flash cannot work?
1) Is the flash forced to be ON? or is it at "auto flash" mode?
My understanding from this camera, is that there's only 2 modes for flash - either auto flash or flash disabled.
As with all cameras, if the flash is set to auto flash, the flash will only be fired if the lighting is insufficient.
The flash will not be fired if there is sufficient lighting.
To check if your flash is functioning, just take a shot in a dark room.

My rear facing camera has started taking blurry photos, it cant seem to focus. Any ideas?

My rear facing camera has started taking blurry photos, it cant focus on anything and just blurs. I have tried turning it off and back on, ive also done a restore and still doesnt work. If your really close to something it will be ok but anything other than right in front of the camera and it just blurs. Any ideas?

i have iphone4 32gb.
my auto focus also not working.i was tried everthing but not work.
-restore firmware/ios = not working
-install super camera = not working
and lastly i've got the problem solved!
step 1:
open your default camera application and dont close it.
step 2:
flick the rear camera using your finger at the top side and the back side of the camera lens,
and that same time too try to tap your screen to help your camera to force/help/make auto focus function to work.
and now your camera + auto focus is working!!

How do i get photos i have taken from my Creative PC Cam 930 Slim?

I have a Creative PC-CAM 930 Slim and I have taken some pictures with it when i went on holiday (using it like a digital camera). I have like 28 images that I took on the camera (not on the memory card). I despereatly need those photographs, but I can't seem to access the pictures on my computer.
I want to get the pictures from the camera and onto my PC.
When i connect the camera into the computer, than try and explore what's on the camera. It only sets its self up as a webcamera and doesn't show any pictures on it. When I view the camera without being plugged in and without the memory card I can see my 28 pictures.
I have all the software from the setup disc installed onto the computer and the relevant drivers. I have even called my local creative support centre. And they said the camera never came out where I li'ved and the only places it did come out in was the USA and Asia, so they have no idea of what it looks like and how it works.
Does anyone here know how i can access those pictures on my computer and transfer and save the pictures onto my computer?

Isn't this already being cover in the user manual? You need to change the camera mode to PC Mass storage mode before connecting the camera to the computer for photo transfer.

Major Bug in iPhoto '11 -- Blurry Photos in Books

I spent the last week putting together a photo book as a Christmas gift for my wife. I was just about to hit the Purchase Book button when I noticed that several of the photos looked blurry. I attempted to double-click on them to examine them closely, but nothing happened. I left the book layout area and into the album where the individual photos were. When I attempted to edit the photo, I got the dreaded exclamation point -- iPhoto had lost track of the original photos.
I tried rebuilding the database by holding down the Command & Option keys during launch, but after a very lengthy rebuilding process, the photos were still blurry. Luckily, I realized that the problem photos were those that I had used the "Enhance" feature in iPhoto's edit area. By clicking the "Revert to Original" button at the bottom right (or right-clicking), iPhoto was able to rediscover a high-resoultion version of the photo (pre-Enhancement).
It was a pain to go through over 100 photos and manually click the "Revert to Original" button, but at least I got my sharp, high-resolution photos back. Spending a week and $50 on a book of blurry photos would have been bitter disappointment, not to mention a lousy Christmas gift.

Hi Larry,
Thanks for your reply,
I did a rebuild of the library, but the error remained.
To answer the issues you have with my post:
1/ My post is not about books, but the original posting dug deeper and got to the issue of editing photos in iPhoto and having the same problems as I experienced and described. Exporting a photo in a book or in an email, what ever export/production mode is, it came down to a problem of photo Edit in iPhoto.
2/ Also, I found this post via googling "iphoto bug when editing photos". It is not the first time a thread is picked up a couple of months later, or is it ?
3/ Also, on "the "sharing" by email works but is failing as well"
Indeed the sharing by email works, that is the photo gets exported to the email, ie mail is activated and the photo is composed in email but in the email, as I mentioned, "the photo has a serious quality loss and is blurred, though in the Edit Tab/mode it is still full quality and sharp."
Thanks again for your reply and help.
Best

Blurry photos - Premiere Elements 11

(System) Windows 8 64 bit, Core i5 4670 CPU @ 3.40GHz, 8 GB DDR ram, GeForce GTX 650 - Nvidia/MSI - GeForce 320.49 Driver.
Hello I recently purchased Premiere Elements 11 and Photoshop Elements 11. My first project was a success which included video and photos of my camping trip. I burned that project to DVD. My second project was created through PSE which was a slideshow from photos downloaded from Facebook (small images). I burned that project to DVD. My thrid project was another slideshow using photos from my camera. I burned this project to DVD. Unfortunately the pictures came out really blurry.
After reading the forums here I resized my photos to 1000x750 pixels however, my photos still came out blurry.
After hours of troubleshooting, I decided to try to re-create my first successful movie which had still photos that were not blurry. I used the same pictures and this time my pictures came out blurry. Is there a setting I changed for this to happen? The photo size from my 1st project is 4608x3456 pixels 7.73 MB.
I'm new to editing therefore I apologize in advance if I left out some critical information.
Thanks,

Moonpie,
Glad that you are enjoying the journey. For me too, that is part of the whole process. Yes, handing off a successful DVD, or BD, to a client, who loves the work, is rewarding, but continuing to learn, in the process is a big payoff too - at least for some of us.
I started way back when video was relegated to the studio only, with either a direct feed to the studio's switcher, or to a 2" tape deck. Back then, the video could only be edited by making a 45 degree diagonal cut with a razor blade, and then applying tape to splice that back together. I was working in film, as the quality and the look were so much better, and my cameras could easily leave the studio. Still, I was limited to one Audio track, to a Butt-Cut, a Fade to Black (that name changed to Dip-to-Black for digital Video), or a Cross-Dissolve (we called that a "Lap-Dissolve"). To see any of those, one had to have the two reels of film "printed" in the lab, and took at least a day - a day, before we could see if we had done well. Our editing rooms were filled with "laundry carts," or "bins," with 100's of yards of little film clips actually clipped to a rack over the bins.
I did not get back to video, until it had gone digital. Oh my, how things had changed! Even with the rudimentary software of the day, it was easy to see the technical and creative power, and that power was intoxicating.
As I had a cine background, plus many years as an advertising photographer, the last decade spent with Photoshop, it was easy for me to define a workflow for my video editing.
I was shooting only SD (Standard Definition) miniDV tape-based material, so it was easy to learn what Project Preset I should be using - NTSC DV, in either Standard 4:3, or Widescreen 16:9, at 29.97 FPS w/ 48KHz 16-bit Audio. That was it, and was so simple. The NLE (Non Linear Editor) programs of the day were powerful, BUT were still quite simple, compared to what we have today.
As I explored more, I realized that I could bring my creativity from my film days, to video, and the program would empower me for so much more. I got better, and better, learning something with each Project, and soon opened my doors to do commercial editing. Almost immediately, I began being handed all sorts of footage by clients, and some of it not meant to be edited - but I still had to edit it. That is where I learned about various file formats, and CODEC's, and also conversion programs. Though I had faced myriad formats with Photoshop, I found that was nothing, compared to the formats, and CODEC's of video. Lot of learning, but that was fun too.
As I had spent so many years doing commercial still photography, it was natural that I also began producing SlideShows, where I got to experiment with Image Sizes and also formats. More learning, through my experiments.
DVD-Video we my most common final output, and that brought a strict set of specifications, that had to be adhered to, for the DVD-Video to work properly.
In my experiments, my eyes told me that I was best off, if I did the Scaling of my camera images in Photoshop, with either Bicubic Smoother, or Bicubic Sharper (depended on the original Image), and then Saved_As PSD's, for Import into Premiere (by then, I had used several other NLE's, but ended up focusing on Premiere, as it worked best for me). I eschewed JPEG (never really liked that format with its compression), and also took 90% of the Scaling load off of Premiere. To my eyes, the quality was better, and worth the effort.
Having worked in photography, doing analog compositing, before there was digital editing, I was aware of resolution, and Scaling, and most of the pitfalls. However, as DVD-Video was still the main output, I understood its limits of 720 x 480 pixels. When I started HD TV's, and as my computer monitors increased in their resolution, I realized that DVD-Video was limited, but there was a war going on between BD and HDDVD, so there was not anything better. Rather than complain that DVD-Video was so limiting, I embraced it, as it was so, so very much better, than what had gone before, regarding video.
When BD was finally decided upon, I was happy, but many clients still needed DVD-Video (and still do), so I had to continue with it, though "something better" was out there. Then, mfgrs. began adding up-rezzing chips to their high-end DVD players, and to most of their BD players, and DVD-Video display got even better, when paired with a calibrated HD TV.
For me, it was easy to understand that a 720 x 480 video image would NOT look THAT good, when displayed on an HD TV, or high-rez computer monitor. It was like shooting 35mm film, and having to blow that up for a double-truck (11 x 17 inch) magazine spread! I knew to not expect too much, in such a case, and also normally shot 8 x 10 (4 x 5 minimum), when I was going to a two-page spread. DVD-Video is akin to shooting maybe 6 x 6 CM film, and going to that double-truck, when displayed on a high-rez computer monitor, or HD TV - never as good, as one would want. That is the nature of the beast.
Soon, we will have 4K, and when it becomes common, those old DVD-Videos will look even worse. I do not think that up-rezzing chips will be improving all that much, especially when displayed on 4K. I also do not think that we will see any disc-based delivery above BD, as everything will go to streaming delivery for the new format. Still, like some people still have VHS tapes, and players, people will still have DVD-Video and BD (which never really did take off, like DVD-Video did). All of those will look pretty bad, compared to 4K material, shot, edited and delivered in that format. Still, those old formats will be around for a bit, and other than those up-rezzing chips, there is nothing that we can do about it - except to produce the best product in those formats, that is possible, and live with the results.
Many have tried to explain the differences between, say DVD-Video and HD TV, but some folk just do not understand it. Having worked in all sorts of formats, with different resoulutions, it was easy for me. The best example that I have seen, to compare the formats is this little image:
That should be clear to anyone.

Ipad 2 front camera has a blurry black line down the middle

Evening,
My Ipad 2 front camera has a blurry black line down the middle, tried resetting but still there. back camera is fine.
Any ideas ???

Hello AndyPharris,
It sounds like you're seeing an unexpected black line when you take photos with your rear camera. I would next backup the iPad to your iTunes library:
iOS: How to back up and restore your content
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
And restore it from your backup with this article as a new device to test the issue:
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414
If it works, restore from your backup and verify it still works. If the issue persists when you restore as new, I would seek service for your device with this page:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,

How can I add photos from Camera Roll to the Photo Stream album?

How can I add photos taken during the past month from my Camera Roll to the Photo Stream album?

Hi,
It's easy to do in iPhoto11 (click on a photo in iphoto and select share in the bottom right corner, then select Photo Stream), I'm not sure you can do this on the iphone.
Regards
Keith

I am using photos . I add a camera and make my photos slide in. How do I add a second behavior to the photo to make it slide out. I want the photo to hold on the screen for a few seconds in between sliding in and sliding out.

I am using photos in Motion 5. I add a camera and make my photo slide in. How do i add a second behavior to the photo to make it slide out? I want the photo to hold for a few seconds in between sliding in and sliding out. When I am trying to do this I am not getting the photo to hold, i am making one continuous motion which I do not want.
Thanks

Are you using the "motion path" behavior? If so just duplicate it and drag it down the timeline to where you want it to start. Trim it to end at the end of the project. The gap you leave in the timeline between the two behaviors is your hold time. Not sure why you are using a camera unless you have a behavior on the camera.If you are using keyframes just set two keyframes at the same position values in the inspector for the hold time.

Camera Roll is missing. I have lost the Camera Roll section in Photos. Any idea how I can restore Camera Roll . Thanks!

Hi,
Thanks for your help.
I have discovered that Camera Roll reappeared when I took a pic using my iPad camera.
Previously I had not done that. Stupid me.
Your attempt to help me is much appreciated.
