When camera Flashes it looks bad

Hi there,
I am trying to export a making off from a photo session and when the flash of the camera flashes it shows a lot of horizontal white lines and sometimes a green area.
What compressions settings should I use in Compressor to avoid this?
its an HDV video and I was exporting with DVD 90 best
thanks
Javier

The encoder in Compressor can only handle a certain range of pixel values when transcoding form one codec to another. Now you know what the limit is for your particular settings. You must remove the out of range pixels before you get to Compressor or you must learn how to use manual keyframes in Compressor to alter settings on the fly. Not recommended. but there is a thorough explanation in the manual.

DV clips look bad, good when converted to H.264 in QuickTime and reimported

Still a problem after 7.0.1:
DV camera -> iMovie 08 -> looks bad when playing and exporting/sharing
DV camera -> iMovie 08 -> "reveal in finder" -> clip opened in QuickTime -> looks good -> export as H.264 -> re-import to iMovie 08 -> looks good when playing and exporting/sharing.
In plain words: Importing DV clips from my DV camera into iMovie gives bad results when playing and exporting/sharing. Have tried everything, but the clips look blurry and not sharp at all. The actual DV clip in the events folder looks sharp and clear.
If I take the very same DV clip from the events folder ("reveal in finder"), open it in QuickTime, export it as H.264 and then re-import to iMovie 08, it looks brilliant, retaining the quality the DV clip in the events folder has.
Why can't the DV clips look good in the first place? What is it that iMovie 08 does to these poor clips? Some have suggested re-encoding, re-rendering and so on, but if I do just that in QuickTime and re-import it to iMovie 08, it still looks razor sharp and crystal clear. No reason that iMovie 08 shouldn't handle the DV file in the same manner.
Some have suggested that this is because iMovie 08 internally re-encodes to AIM or H.264, enabling edits with different kinds of formats, but if I do this myself in QuickTime before importing to iMovie 08, the problem isn't there!
If this is difficult to achieve, why not add the option of importing from a DV camera as H.264 and not DV? That would make my day!
(I have posted this to Apple using the feedback menu item in iMovie 08.)

Sample clips in Apple TV format here:

iMovie '08 stores rendered projects in H.264 form. This happens when you render to the Media Browser. The rendered file(s) (you can have several different sizes) are in the iMovie '08 project package. The original flies in your Events folders stay in whatever format they were in.
Yes, the movies exported to the Media Browser use the H.264 format, the same as iMovie HD 5/6 did when we exported using the presets Email, Web, Web Streaming and CD-ROM. They were all H.264 too. Apple is obviously putting the (powerful) H.264 to good use to prepare movies for Web pages and other purposes.
As you know, the Full Quality export in 5/6 was to the project's native format, which varied according to the type of project. For DV projects, that was DV video. Everything was converted to DV when imported into the project, and to preserve the original quality we could export to a Full Quality DV movie.
There is nothing like that in iMovie 7, at least that I've seen. As you said, nothing is converted to a "native format" when imported to the project. (Still images are added to the project's single Apple Photo - JPEG "Still Images" movie, which is a nice twist.)
So I think of iMovie 7 as having no "native" format, but a nicely-designed path for using H.264 as the delivery format. The Media Browser — a virtual library of movies with no shared place — is a nice invention.
When I export slideshow movies in DV format out of FotoMagico I always select 'Best' and it DOES make a difference in iDVD.
I think of iMovie 7's problem with DV as more profoundly flawed. Exporting ANY DV video that's in the project to DV or ANY OTHER format is messed up. It's the handling of the DV inside iMovie that's messed up, not just the export to DV.
My guess is — and it's only a guess — that FotoMagico's Best setting adjusts the content of the image delivered for iDVD. Put another way, it prepares an image that works best with iDVD's own encoding algorithms.
One long-standing diappointment I've had with iLife is that Apple has never coordinated the image it prepares for iDVD with what(ever) iDVD does best. It's as if the programmers never talk to each other. iMovie engineers have never asked the iDVD engineers how best to deliver the image to deliver the best quality on the DVD.
Given Apple's emphasis on H.264, one would think that iDVD would be written to embrace any H.264 video and deliver great quality on the DVD. It doesn't. And with iLife '08 it doesn't even embrace iMovie's own DV exports!
I suppose Blu-Ray will change all that, but for now we're stuck with a version of iLife that can't deliver a quality DVD of our home movies.

6220 Classic Camera flash

When camera flash is set to Auto, shouldn't flash automatic go off when I take a picture in a dark enviorment? With a dark enviorment I mean that if I don't set the Flash to On the picture will be almost black. I just tried it in a room with no window and no light, still it didn't use the flash. With the N73 it works as expected, the flash goes of, but the 6220 Classic, the flash doesn't go off. Is this a bug in the software or maybee it's just my phone.

did you try to update your phone to the latest firmware?
http://europe.nokia.com/get-support-and-software/download-software/device-software-update
or via FOTA right off your phone.
make sure you always do a back up of your data before doing any of this. if this continues to happen even after update i would take it to nokia care for them to have a look.

Why does my camera flash when I receive notifications?

When I receive notifications my camera flashes. Does anyone know why and/or how to resolve this?

You probably have it set to do so.
Have a look at the manual:

Custom white balance looks bad/off when set on the 5d Mark iii

I got my Mark iii in June and every time I set a custom white balance it doesn't look right. I have used both a purchased grey card and a white piece of paper, both look bad. When I set it on my Rebel Xs it looks perfect, no adjustments needed in post processing, but not the case with the Mark iii. Shouldn't it be the other way around, considering the price tag on the iii ?

Canon "tags" RAW images with meta-data regarding white balance (and other info) but does not actually alter the image. Depending on what you use to process the images on the computer, it can read those tags and decide to apply it's interpretation. But those white balance adjustments would be applied by your computer software (assuming they are being applied -- not all software does this) -- and not by the camera.
I use Aperture (Apple's pro photography software), which has a camera profile for each camera. The profiles can compensate if, for example, one camera is naturally "cooler" than another.

When will the iPhone get the camera flash added to it???

I do love the look of the iPhone and everything else, it is brilliant all in one thing.
However, I did not buy one for myself just yet....
As, my friend have one, and my friend let me to play with, so I was fiddling around with it, and playing with the iPhone.
However there is one problem, that there is no camera flash or bright light to make the object/people to be visible. Like being in nightclub. or other darker places.
Which there is other mobile phones, do offer the light or flash already built in.
Which I am bit disappointed.
So I was wondering when they will add this option...?
Also they need to improve the Photo taking option, as sometimes when I try to snap shot something, and notice the images are bit blurry, so it needs a very firm hands to shoot the images accurately, without the look of being blurred, so it is annoying in some ways...!
So I will wait until they improves on this phone a bit further...
As it is quite expensive enough!

This would be hardware and would require a new handset.

I don't have any problem taking good pictures and I don't have super steady hands.

Try the following:
- A reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup

Is the camera flash supposed to go off with the alarm on the iPhone 4S when it is locked?

I have just recently noticed that the camera flash goes off with the alarm in a three flash pattern when the phone is locked, but not when it isn't. I can't find a way to turn it off in the settings and was curious if this is supposed to happen or if it's a bug?
Thanks in advance for your help.

See this veeeeeeeeeery long thread.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3404857
It's an issue with hundreds of phones. Some claim it's software related, some hardware, some say it's a mixture of both.
Some people have had temporary success with quitting the Phone.app / restoring as a new phone / restoring from an iCloud backup / disabling Siri / toggling speakerphone on & off...
Unfortunately all of the above only been temporary, with the problem recurring again after a few calls, or a few days etc.
So far the only solution that seems permanent has been to replace the phone. But even so, it's the luck of the draw to recieve a functional phone, and not another faulty one.
I'm completely annoyed as there is no Apple Store near me...... and Apple haven't even acknowledged the issue, despite the above thread being 34 pages long, as of writing.

I have recently purchased an Iphone 4s white 16GB. When camera is used with a flash the picture is white and hazzy. Anyone with the same problem?

Yep. Exchanged for black and that solved it. Too much light leaks through the glass on the white phone.

Am I the only one getting bad quality youtube videos when running on LTE? When I'm on wifi they seem fine but I switch to lte it looks bad on the youtube app and on safari.

I've never had any problems with mine ever. The only freeze I've had was from a file I recorded on tivo, cut commericals out in movie maker and then re-encoded to the lowest possible bit rate that that zens nati've resolution supports. Try turning your sensitivity in the touch pad down. Sometimes if you have it up to high you may have a chance of doing that (although I have only had slow response, instead of a freeze by doing that).
You also have to compare to all of the other products out there: Ipod and Zune are a lot worse with pathetic little problems (annoyances). I didn't pay for tech support?

IPhone 6 and 6 plus camera extremely slow when using flash

I have noticed that the iPhone 6 and 6 plus camera is extremely slow when using flash, it is definitely slower than iPhones 5 and 5s.
Any explanation/solution for this?

I Have done some more testing and it seems turning off HDR resolves the issue

Camera flashes when charged battery is inserted. Won't power up.

Battery went dead while taking photos. I charged the battery. Upon inserting, the camera flashed (weird) but wouldn't power up. Then, the battery charger showed that the battery needed charging, so I did it again. In a few minutes it appeared to be ready, so I repeated the process with the same result. I thought maybe I ruined the battery, so I bought a new one.
Same result. I would think it's a software problem, but there's nothing I can do to get this **bleep** thing to light up!
Any ideas?

Camera flash = bad photo

i never had an iPhone 4. went from 3GS (no flash) to 4S (flash) and photos are no good when i use the flash. there's a weird "rainbow" effect on the photos when the flash is used.
i can't imagine i'm the only one, but there don't seem to be any complaints about it...
anyone else? is this a common issue?
(fyi - bare phone, no case, no "plastic" backing. my finger's not in the way, threre are no mirrors or shiny surfaces in the area...)

if anyone else experiences this, turns out the problem was the little ring between the case and the lens was loose. took it to an apple store and they reseated it. 3 months on and no more problems.

Is there a way to use an off camera flash or remote flashes on a Rebel T5? (This is not a T5I)

I have a Rebel T5 I just bought a few months ago. I like it as it is a great entry into DSLR. I will be looking at upgrading in a few months. But in the meantime, I just bought a speedlight kit (not Canon) and it came with 2 speedlights and the remote trigger and 2 remote receivers. Is there a way to enable the camera to use off camera flash? i was able to put one of the flashes on as an extrenal flash but I have not been able to figure out how to enable off camera flash.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thank you Skirball. It did come with a trigger. I must not have had the correct settings. When I first got the set, I put the trigger on the camera and hooked the lights to the receivers and it did not work for me. I thought I needed a special setting. But I must have had the receivers set to camera instead of flash. Once I put it on today, it worked and triggered both flash units. Incase anyone else has this issue, the kit I bought from Amazon is the Altura 2 flash kit that came with 2 speedlghts, the trigger and 2 receivers. I paid $169 for it. But when I hooked them up today and had the receivers set to Flash, they both were triggered when I pressed the shutter button.
Thank you again.
