Taking good picture with 701

I have a Nokia 701 but I have yet to figured it out how to produce good quality pictures with it.
Mostly I have to take pictures of small-ish objects. That are not far away. Meaning objects that are about 40 to 60cm away. I always get the object I need to take all fuzzy and everything behind it clear.
What am I doing wrong? What setting do I need to change?
Please help me as I am a total idiot when it comes to taking pictures.
Thanks,
Tarmo

Hey Tarmo120, Welcome to the Nokia Forums!
How close are you shooting exactly?
All lenses have a minimum distance at which they are able to focus, with most lenses this distance is around 0.5m. 
Anything under this distance the lense will not focus on, and as a result will focus on whatever else it can. Camera's built into Nokia devices are not designed with Macro photography in mind, and are designed for more general photography purposes.
The way you can over come this is by taking the shot from further away but using more zoom, it will slightly improve the image quality however you will start to lose detail in resolution.
I hope this helps

  • I have a white haze over photos when taking a picture with my flash

    I have a white haze over photos when taking a picture with my flash.  What can I do to fix it?

    After the ios7 update, my wife's phone began having these same issues and we assumed it was a flaw with the update.
    But  after some trial and error, we concluded it was the illumination of the  white plastic backing of the iPhone 4.  We tried a different protective  case, we blackened the apeture of the black case with a black sharpie,  none of those things worked.
    It  was noted that the white and blurry photos only occurred with a case  installed.  Without a case, the photos were perfect.  It is a *** issue.
    Since  we were using a case and appearance was not that big of an issue, I  decided to apply a strip of black electrical tape with holes punched out  for the camera and flash mechanisms and reapplied the protective case.   This tacky fix solved 95% of the white blurry look to the flash photos.
    So  a work-around is to apply a non-transparent piece of tape, or sticker  with appropiate sized holes for the camera lens and flash LED on the  back of the white plastic phone case.  It's tacky, it's a poor design  from apple, but it works.

  • When taking a picture with home button and sleep button can you get rid of the tool and task bar??

    When taking a picture with home and sleep button can you get rid of the tool and task bar?? (the search bars)

    No, but you can use any picture editing tool to crop out the bars.  (Many are free in the App Store.)  Me personally, I use PhotoPad, which I use to crop as well as rotate the screen shot.  Takes less than a minute to do both with PhotoPad.

  • Taking a picture with iSight camera

    I've heard of people taking pictures with their iSight camera remotely. Can anyone tell me the command to do this? Apple Support does not know how.
    thanks,

  • Can you take good pictures with your Z1 Compact?

    Hi,
    So many people here complaining about the overall picture quality of Z1C (I’m one of them).
    Sony offered me to send my phone to their service center so they could check if something was wrong with my phone.
    I wonder if it could be the case and that after being fixed by Sony it could be a decent camera without the overprocessing, lack of detail and the noise seen on all my pictures now?
    So i’d like to hear from you, please let us know if you are able to take good quality pictures. Maybe we are just unlucky people with bad units.
    Also, do you think that the service center can actually do something with a bad phone or i'm just wasting my time?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    camera on my Z1C does fairly good images (in manual mode, good light conditions), but I do think it's absolutely inadequate to the sensor size and resolution - there is extremely much noise in all of the pictures. In low light conditions, my HTC Sensation (over 3 yrs old, 8MP) does a better job than my Z1C, which is really sad. The post-procesing must be somehow flawed in Sony's phones (last Sony's phone I had that took IMO adequately good pictures was the Xperia S), because Apple or Samsung can produce quite the same (in good light), if not better photos (definitly in low light), with much worse optics.
    There are many test photos in the internet reviews, which are probably the best you can take with the Z1C. I'd say it's a general problem of Sony, nothing they can fix at the Service Center, but if the procedure is covered in your warranty, it's probably worth a shot - your lens could be defected, resulting in blurry photos.

  • When taking a picture with IPad. Camera my recipients always receive the photo upside down. WHY?

    When taking a photo with my IPad, then sending it, my recipients always the phot upside down.  WHY?   Help Please.

    I think that this is a philosophical question. I, for one, hold my iPad in landscape mode with the Home button on the right-hand side and in portrait mode the Home button is on the bottom.
    Anyway, you're welcome!

  • After taking 5 pictures with the 4S, the phone shuts down and restarts - all apps have been closed and software updated

    We use the iPhone's at my job and they all have the 4S - one of the guys is having a problem when taking pictures.  After taking 5 pictures the phone completely shuts down and re-starts.  He has made sure that all apps are closed out, updated the software to the current one and that the battery is fully charged.  Can't seem to figure out what the problem is.  Anyone???

  • Taking a picture with the laptop.

    I believe to be able to take a picture I need the Lenovo camera centre software.  I have reloaded my system with windows seven and so need to download a copy of the Lenovo camera centre software, can I download anywhere?
    thanks for any advice

    Try the downloads available on the support page of Lenovo's site.

  • I took a really good picture with my MBP isight camera through ichat?

    This might seam like a dumb questions. But I need to get the buddy picture photo I took through ichat, using my MBP internal camera. Where can I find the photo on my computer. Tried Recent Photos, iPhoto library, can't find it. Clues?

    (1) If you took it using the iChat > Video > Take Snapshot command, it is on your desktop, entitled "Video Snapshot." If you took more than one snapshot, the names will be "Video Snapshot-x" where x is a number.
    (2) If you took it with the iChat > Change My Picture... command, it is in your
    User/Library/Images/iChat Recent Pictures folder unless you have changed the folder location in the choices bar at the top of the "Buddy Picture" dialog window that for this command.
    If you changed the location, it will be wherever you saved it. If you do not remember, you can try looking for the file name "Recent " with Spotlight. If Spotlight can find images that start with "Recent ", you can manually view the ones you made on a particular date to see if you recognize the one you want.

  • After taking some pictures with my iphone, I downloaded them to my computer.  Well when I began using the phone again I realized it had uploaded all my photos to the iphone.  I don't want that and didn't expect it.  It just did it. I want them off!

    I have gone to my ATT and store for help but it's not "synching in to my head" on how to do it.  Which means I consider this a bit to complicated.  So how do I manage what goes on and off my phone.  It seems that somewhere it should ask before it does it.  Anyway in a step by step process how do I get the pictures off my iphone. 
    thanks

    Lightning is a problem for you because it hooks into Thunderbird at a low level and you need a version compiled for the platform Thunderbird is running on. So you can't do the preferred solution, which is to put your whole profile in a shared folder and have both instances of Thunderbird reference the same profile. (Ditto for Enigmail). Lightning may become an integral part of Thunderbird in an upcoming release, at which point this limitation due to Lightning should disappear.
    And if you can't use a shared profile, you can't set your Lightning, or your Address Book, to share a common set of files. Put another way, the linkage from Thunderbird to its address book files and calendar data is hard-coded, and not exposed where we can adjust it. :-(
    The halfway house is to place your mail stores in a shared place, and use the Local Directory setting in each account's settings to connect to it. They don't need to be in the profile; what's more important in your case is that they are in a folder accessible to both operating systems.
    Look in your profile; everything under Mail and ImapMail needs to be moved out to a shared folder. Note the entries in Thunderbird under Local Directory before you do this, and reconstruct those pathnames in Thunderbird, but adjusted to suit their new locations.
    (You can see here that you need to make many adjustments, one per account, in each instance of Thunderbird, so it's a high-maintenance solution and this is why we don't recommend it when the alternative, moving the whole profile, is possible.)
    I share address books and calendars between Thunderbirds on various computers (and my phone and tablet) by syncing to something in the cloud; Google Contacts and Google Calendar are my choices, using gContactSync and CalDav.
    Having made the break myself some years ago, I'd recommend you break away from Windows. ;-)

  • When taking pictures with my iPhone 4S with flash the pictures are blue

    When taking pictures with my iPhone 4S and when I use the flash the pictures come out blue but wen I don't use the flash the pictures come out great. Can someone please answer my question to why that is happening

    Do you have a case on your phone? Many cases get a reflection from the sides and bleed light over the picture.
    The flash is naturally green/blue colour anyway..so it could be just that.
