Pearl 8220 camera image quality is poor, poor, poor

The photo image quality of the camera on my BB Pearl 8220 is extremely grainy and dark.
I understand this is a cell phone camera and expectations are low to begin with, but this is unacceptably low quality.  The flash appears to function properly but that doesn't matter because the image quality is poor even for pictures taken in full sunlight.  
Are there camera adjustments or settings that I haven't found that can remedy this problem?  The ones I HAVE found have had no effect.
Thanks for any help.

i've taken some good pics with our phones...
I did notice that you need to be extremely steady (no built in "camera shake"), but other than that, its all been good. 
I used the options to make the pics as large as possible too; but I do that with our digital camera as well.  I use Paint Shop to edit them on our PC.
Where there is a will, there is a way...
If there is no way; there is always a bigger hammer.

  • Firefox mage quality and resolution was superb when I used XP and Vista. Now that I have Windows 7, however (with the Firefox 3.6.3 version), the image quality and resolution is poor. Please help me!

    I am using the Firefox 3.6.3 version with my new Windows 7 operating system. When I used all the previous Firefox versions in my XP and Vista operating systems, image quality and resolution was excellent! However, now that I have upgraded to Windows 7 and Firefox 3.6.3, the image quality and resolution is poor (unacceptable for downloading purposes).
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I first activated my new computer and installed the Firefox 3.6.3.

    All my images are pixelated in firefox 3.6.3

    Not only on my site but on most sites I view.
    The issue is not solved by resetting the zoom text view (ctrl+0)
    The issue is not resolved by starting in safemode with add-ons disabled
    The problem seems to only affect .jpeg files and only on Windows 7 on my desktop; as I have viewed several sites using windows XP with my laptop, no issues.
    I had the same issue with IE8 and was able to fix the problem with by setting up the compatibility view for all sites. Issue fixed no problems at all. But nothing similar for firefox?
    Whats the deal?

  • Satellite S70-A-11H web camera image quality is not good

    Hi,
    Running windows 8.1 which came with the laptop.
    New out of the box.
    As per title.
    I find the image quality of the camera image to be very grainy, poor color etc.
    When I start the web camera using the search bar on the right, it starts using the Microsoft application, when you scroll down to settings all that is available under settings/options is Photo aspect ratio, Grid lines, Location info.
    I have been in touch with Toshiba Tech support who advised to do a Laptop refresh, which I did.
    This made no difference.
    After which they asked me to find the Toshiba web camera application on the laptop, this should have been in the Program Files folder in the Toshiba folder.
    This application does not exist on my laptop.
    The tech checked the same model laptop that he had available, which I was told when he selected the web camera, it opened using the Toshiba Web camera application, not Microsoft.
    I have looked at other Toshiba laptops with web cameras, and found the image quality to be better. Unable to get to settings as these laptops were on display and in demo mode, hence locked down to some extent.
    I can't believe that a web camera in this day and age for this value of laptop to have such poor image quality. My digital camera from 10year ago has better image quality.
    I have checked through the laptop, and I do not have this application installed.
    I have checked for updated drivers and software for my laptop, and cannot find this application to be applicable for my laptop. Drivers etc appear to be up to date.
    I would like to know, do other users of this S series have any issue of camera image quality.
    When the camera is selected what application is being used, Toshiba or Microsoft.
    Is Toshiba web camera application applicable to Windows 8.1, as I cannot see it listed for 8.1
    Does this sound like a hardware fault or a application/software issue.
    Any direction or help on this matter would be appreciated, as I am getting to the point of returning this laptop for a refund.
    Thanks in advance.
    D.
    Yes, I have tried using the FORCE!

    > The tech checked the same model laptop that he had available, which I was told when he selected the web camera, it opened using the Toshiba Web camera application, not Microsoft.
    The Toshiba webcam application is available for Win 7 system but the Win 8 and Windows 8.1 system use the own Microsoft webcam application.
    > I have looked at other Toshiba laptops with web cameras, and found the image quality to be better.
    Different Toshiba notebooks are equipped with different webcams.
    Satellite S70-A-11H was equipped with a *0.92 mega pixel webcam*
    A Satellite A660 for example was equipped with an _1.3M mega pixel webcam_
    So there is a difference in webcam resolution

  • Why is the image quality on facetime so poor?

    Isn't it false advertisement if on their website, it shows nice, crisp face time photos, and when I use mine, its blocky and not that well. I figured since we pay top dollar for our Ipads, the least apple could do is sell us what their website shows us.

    The camera is only 0.7 megapixels.
    In comparison, the avg cell phone camera is 5 - 8 mega pixels, so I can understand why it would be such a surprise to see such a low res camera on this device.
    With that said, you must relize the camera is intended for facetime use only, and although the quality may not be as good as what the commercials, or site suggest, it does work, for it's intended purpose.

  • Poor image quality using iMovie 8 or iDVD after importing DV file via FW

    Hello,
    i am a complete newby and asking for help. I have bought a Panasonic NV-GS320EG-S miniDV Camcorder. First i connected it via S-Video to my Pioneer Plasma which worked fine.
    I have connected the camcorder via Firewire to my iMac 20/2,4 GHz, camcorder will launch import window, streaming works but in iMovie the image quality is already rather poor. I can cut files and all but after using Import film and burning it with latest Toast, picture quality is even worse, that means colors are natural but no sharpness, lots of shivering lines as soon as the angle is moving.
    I've tried to import directly into iDVD with the direct transfer function for Firewire which works technically as well but the result is mainly the same, when i burn the DVD the picture quality gets far worse than via S-Video connection.
    Last thing i tried is importing to iMovie, importing for media browser and reopening file in iDVD which burns the DVD later, all that works technically fine, but the image result remains absolutely poor, my wife meant inacceptable...
    Any ideas what that could be??? I've always imported and exported the film with the largest picture mode possible...

    I am using the Panasonic HDC-SD5 camcorder which records in AVCHD.
    I also have a JVC miniDV camcorder.
    The following is available in iMovie 08 help:If the larger sizes are not available, the original project media isn’t large enough to render in that size. The largest media size used in the project determines the final movie sizes you can render.
    Tiny: Always 176 by 144 pixels.
    Mobile: Always 480 by 272 pixels.
    Medium: Varies in size from 640 by 480 pixels (standard aspect ratio) to 640 by 360 pixels (widescreen), depending on the size of the media in your project.
    Large: Always 960 by 540 pixels (widescreen). No large size is rendered if your original video isn’t high definition (HD).

  • Bad camera image

    HPEnvy TS m6 Sleekbook with Win 8.1.
    What is the resolution on the camera on this laptop?
    I'ml trying to update the photo that goes with my account.  When I start the camera, either with the standard camera app button or with the Cyber Link YouCam, the quality of the photo  and or the vidoe is awful. It looks like it's set on a really, really low resolution. But I  can't find any place to adjust the settings on the camera.
    There's gotta be a way to make this look better.

    I am experiencing the same problem with my HP Notebook. The image quality is very, very poor. Even in a well-lit environment, I can barely see the image. I've try .

    I am experiencing the same problem. I recieved a HP touchscreen Notebook as a Christmas gift and the image quality is  very, very, very poor. Even in a well lit environment, the image is still not clear. I have adjusted the settings to try to improve the image quality but there is still not much of a difference. I have also tried to reinstall the YouCam application but the image quality is still the same (poor). I like some features on my laptop and I'm still getting aquainted with it, but the image quality along with a few other technical issues such as (freezes), has negatively impacted how I view this product. I hope that there is something that could be done! Please help!

  • Image quality poor when using "fit in window" view

    Hello,
    i´m getting familiar with PS CS3 Demo and what buffles me is the poor quality of the downsized view of large images. I loaded a 8 MP JPEG image from a digital camera and it looks good in 100%, but when i choose to view the whole image to fit the window (33,33% in my case), the resulting "downsampled" image is very jaggy and pixelated. I use a freeware image viewer called Xnview that gives me a far superior view when viewing large images downsized - i can even choose to select a "HQ" mode so those images get resampled to look better. It it normal that PS does not offer such a thing (or did i not see it?) and delivers such poor visual quality or is there something wrong with my PC?
    Thanks for your help.

    Though 6.735, 12.5, 25 and 50% views usually are OK too. "Image quality" is great, though sometimes deceivingly so. I guess I don't understand sampling enough to tell you why 33% looks bad (rounding errors, I suppose). But 66% makes sense. You're trying to stuff 3 pixels into the space of 2.
    Dave, what are the advantages to these nearest neighbor views instead of bicubic (or even bi-linear). Just speed?

  • Has anyone had issues with poor image quality when using lightroom to process raw images from Canon 7dmk2

    Hi everyone..
    ..I have been having image quality issues when using Lightroom to process raw files from a 7d mk2... They are all soft with poor clarity.....tonight in despair I tried processing them  using  canon's software and they are totally different..."much better"
    anyone else had similar problems....Andy

    I have a 7D2 and have not had what I interpret as poor image quality that has anything to do with the camera.
    Can you post a screenshot of what you’re seeing and what specifically you don’t like?  Maybe there is something you can do differently or at least there may be an explanation for what you’re seeing.
    And if you have a raw image that you wouldn’t mind sharing in a public forum, upload to http://www.dropbox.com/ then post a public share link to it in a reply, here.
    In other words post a screenshot of what you see in LR, another of what you see using DPP, and a link to the raw file you’re processing.

  • Poor image quality elements 12 slideshow preview

    As I can't find any reference to my original post I thought I'd re-do it.  I created a slideshow in elements 12 and found the image quality to fall far short of high definition.  The source folder for the images used is contained in Windows Pictures.  The pictures were taken with a Canon t4i camera with the image quality being excellent.  For whatever reason the quality of the slideshow images are poor.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Don't purchase a video editing app to work with just still images. They are meant to be used with DV and really don't do a still image any justice.
    The final source format should determine the software used. You are suggesting a DVD distribution of your work.
    iPhoto is meant to be used on still images (not iMovie, in my opinion).
    You don't really want to convert a single frame into multiple frames if you don't need to.
    You may want to try the Photo JPEG, Motion JPEG or Animation codecs from iMovie and see if they improve the visual appearance of your work.
    Since you want to use a DVD as the distribution method then iDVD may not be the best option either. It is meant for set top boxes using a poor 720X480 dimension in MPEG-2 video format.
    You may want to consider a bit different approach and use a "data" DVD and use QuickTime Player as the playback engine. These will only play on a computer but your could use the higher dimensions to your advantage and also the visual quality of computer displays to showcase your work.
    Since HD DVD players are not yet ready for mass use it may be a better way to distribute your work.
    There is no 720X480 dimension limit (only the limit set by the viewer on the display size when viewed on a computer monitor).
    Your "still" images would remain "still" except for transitions.
    Heck. You could probably put the whole file onto a CD and save even more in production costs.

  • Very Poor Image Quality In Viewer, JPEG Artifacts

    I upgraded to Aperture 3 some time ago, and purchased a new Mac Pro specifically for this application.  I am an amature/ sometime professional photographer and I have been using Aperture since Version 1.  This weekend I finally had some time to sit down with Aperture 3 for some serious work with my scanned film images.  These are large TIF masters scanned in with my Nikon CoolScan 9000.  Some are medium format black & white Tri-X Pan images, others are 35mm, also black & white Tri-X Pan.  Everything scanned in on the Nikon is at the maximum resolution for the master, on the theory that I can always bump it down later if that's necessary.
    I am noticing vastly lower image quality in the viewer then with Aperture 2.  Specifically, I am seeing massive JPEG artifacts in the viewer image then I have ever seen before.  The images also render darker in the viewer then before. These artifacts do not appear when I export my images (say as JPEGS for posting to a web page), or when I print them.  The quality of the exported and print images seem just fine and the exported JPEGS are completely free of the artifacts I am seeing in the viewer.
    I have tried rebuilding the previews several times, experimenting with different quality settings.  I have experimented with different proof profile settings.  My printer is an Epson Stylus Photo R1800 and I have tried various paper settings for it as well as other proof profile settings such as the Adobe and Apple RGB settings and the generic grey profiles.  Every time I change a setting I have forced a rebuild of the previews to no detectable effect.  Nothing I do seems to have any effect whatsoever on the image quality in the viewer which remains relentlessly the same as it always was.
    This poor viewer image quality is making it very difficult to work in Aperture 3.  I suspect there is a setting somewhere like an easter egg in this new Aperture I haven't found yet but it is becoming very frustraiting and I could use a pointer because, again, nothing I have tried has changed the image quality in the viewer in any way I can detect and the photos look perfectly awful there...darker and loaded with JPEG artifacts. Things export and print just fine, but I need to see what I am going to get in the viewer or I can't do my work.

    I interpret this as ... Eventually you should be looking at the Master with the Version changes applied. I'm assuming at this point, you aren't looking at the Preview. Since you don't need Previews to view and edit your images.
    Yeah...that's sort of what I gleaned from that text. I was experimenting with the preview settings because I couldn't see any other way to fix the problem.  What I'm hearing now is that the problem has no fix.  If you scan in black & white film negatives (or anything else that's monochrome I suppose) with the color space set as gray scale you are asking for trouble.  The sense I get from the text Gomez Addams referred me to is the behavior in that case is unpredictable, and furthermore film photographers aren't the customer base Apple is trying to cultivate with this product.
    Aperture is designed to work with images from digital cameras which use an RGB color space...
    Okay...fine.  I have several digital cameras I occasionally use for professional work and I am here to tell you Aperture is an absolute blessing for that work. I do shoots every now and then for a local community newspaper and I would not want to live without this product. I remember back when I was a teenager in the 70s being up all night in the darkroom to get an assignment I'd had to cover right before deadline, and then go to my day job the next morning without any sleep. This is much better. And even with the personal art photography it is good to be able to just scan things in and make adjustments in the computer.  You can do so much more. I would not want to go back. 
    But I reckon I need to find something I can rely on for my film work, or at least my black & white film work because as I read this Apple is not supporting film photography with this product and black & white film photography in particular and some of us still use film. No...scanning in my Tri-X negatives in the CoolScan as color produces weird results and anyway Photoshop and GIMP for goodness sakes seem to handle grayscale files just fine. Plus, I've already got thousands of those negatives scanned, I am not rescanning all that in RGB just to satisfy Aperture. The color slide film scans don't seem to be a problem, but that's now. I think I'm being told not to count on That always being the case either.
    Aperture is designed to work with images from digital cameras...
    Okay...fine...film is old technology after all, Nikon isn't even making their film scanners anymore...check the prices on the few still new-in-the-box ones left out there. My CoolScan 9000 is selling for twice on the second-hand market what I paid for it new and new it wasn't cheap. And yet it's not economically viable for Nikon to continue making them. Film is dying. But I still like working with film and film cameras and I reckon I'll keep doing that until I can't get any more of it and my stash of Tri-X Pan bulk rolls runs out.
    Thank you all very much for your help. I think I see what I need to do now.

  • Images on Robohelp are very poor quality/blurry or don't appear at all

    Hello,
    Any help on this problem would be greatly appreciated as I have been attempting to solve this for several hours a day for the past week.
    I have a simple employee handbook in word (about 20 pages with images) that I’m trying to turn into an html-based document. I've tried a couple if things in order to get this file into robohelp. I've linked the word document to RoboHelp and worked with that, and I've also imported the word doc into framemaker and then linke my framemaker document to Robohelp.
    I’ve managed to create the html version with a table of contents doing it both ways, but there are a few images in the word document that turn out really bad in the html version. They look fine in the word document and in pdf version, but when I view them in RoboHelp or  in the html version of the document they’re very blurry and choppy. It almost looks as it pixels are missing. I’ve tried everything I could think of but nothing changes the quality of the image. As soon as I link the word document or framemaker document, when I click "view" on the specific image, or just view it from the handbook in Robohelp the image looks terrible.
    Someone suggested that I checkmark "do not re-generate image" under project settings but now some of my images aren't appearing at all. All of my images are the same type but I've also tried changing it to png, or bmp, jpeg but nothing changes. They're either blurry or don't appear at all.
    Thanks for any help or suggestions!

    I don't know if this will help you, but I've had issues with poor image quality when importing Word documents into RH7. I see a fuzziness problem with most images--screen shot or not--but it seems really pronounced if the image in Word is reduced to less than 100%. To resolve this, I've opted to manually copy any Word images to another application (I use SnagIt), save them at 100% to PNG format (JPG and GIFs also work), and import the saved image files to Robohelp. That sounds like that's what you ended up doing with Photoshop.
    Also, I wonder if it makes a difference how much the text was magnified/reduced when they took the original screen shots. I just did an experiment--using SnagIt, I took a screen capture of a block of text at 100% magnification. I then pasted the screen shot directly from SnagIt into my Robohelp document. It came in perfectly clean--couldn't see any obvious difference between the Robohelp text and the image of the Word text. I got the same results when I saved the screen capture to a PNG file and imported it that way. That leads me to believe the problem you're seeing is a result of having Word images automatically converted to RH.
    (In the example--unfortunately hard to see-- the text in the red box is from a screen capture; the rest of the text was entered in RH8--there's no discernable difference in quality.)

  • Please help! Elements 11 image quality poor compared to LR

    Hello, I just started using elements and am very irritated because the image quality is very poor compared to when i am viewing in LR.  Its not the conversion - i have tried pulling directly from the camear.  It looks great in Camera Raw 7.1 but the second i pull it into editor, it lines get jagged.  Adobe help is telling me this is normal.  Surely not??  Something about a halo around pixels?  Image on left is Elements 11, right is Lightroom and Zoomed in so you can see how sharp it is.  PLEASE help.  im so frustrated!

    In the pse 11 editor are you looking at the image at 100% view (actual pixels)?
    (Other viewing percents can be misleading in the pse 11 editor)
    Double click on the zoom tool in the tol box to get 100% view.
    Also you should be on camera raw 7.4 available from Help>Updates within the pse 11 editor.
    Is that lightroom 4.4?

    Never mind. After testing with my android tablet I found it was the headphones. They are Bose QC 15. The original battery was running down but work great yesterday. I suspected the battery and changed it but the problem persisted which led me to blame the upgrade. I should have known better. My apple devices have been flawless. Sorry for crying wolf...

    Also ringing tone is so much low.Is there bany solution to increase its ringing sound or any software?

    I thought of that too so I tested on another machine with retina display and the file i saved on my machine looked bad on my machine and on the other comparable machine/display. So I sent them the original vector ai file and watched while they saved it the exact same way on their machine and the file looked fine on both of our machines/displays.
    All of the settings they used appeared the same as what I used but with different results. I don't recall changing anything but does anyone know if there is some setting that could have been changed that is causing this issue?
