When I try to take pictures in sunlight, either in front of me or behind me, all I get is a reflection of myself

Why do I just get my reflection and that of my background when I try to take a picture either into or behind the sun?  I have a Galaxy 4 with a Ballistic cover with a rather thick protection sheet.  I have been to two Verizon stores & neither place has been helpful with my problem.

Actually I took the phone into the local Verizon store (where 2 young men were absolutely useless with help even to the point where they had trouble removing & replacing the cover as well as helpful information for my problem) and removed the cover completely.  I increased the brightness and tried with several different settings but the problem still remains.  The camera feature is of no use whatsoever in bright sunlight.  There must be some solution to this problem.  The young men in the store suggested I purchase another phone!!!  Thank you

  • I have my iphone 4s when i first got it the pictures came out great when i got close up to an object but when i try to take pictures now it gets blurry

    my iphone 4s has a really great camera on it & i use to get close up to most objects & they came out like the pictures from the advertisements & commercials! but now i try to take more pictures of most things close up & it never works anymore, it starts to get blurry & it trys to focus on it but ends up failing. i dropped it a few times but a have a very strong case which protects my phone & make sure nothing gets damaged & nothing has! i also checked to see if something was wrong with my camera like scratches & i clean it too but its spotless. so is there something wrong with my phone or is this normal?

    Apple guys are deleting posts. I have found my posts have been deleted. Apple should MUST let us downgrade at least to previous release from current which was working fine.

  • There are colors on the screen when I try to take a picture. Please help.

    Hi, I'm not sure if I'm in the right community but when I try to take a picture I look at the screen and it has a white line going through the top part of the screen. There are white spots all over the lens. There is blue and red parts in the camera. When you move the phone the colors move around. The camera is very blurry and is not focusing.

    Sounds like software - Hope you have a recent back up already as with this issue do not really want to make a back up of the device now.
    Will want to restore the iPhone and after restore 1st set up as New and test the camera after setting up as new.
    If good then can try to restore from a back up. If still good, good. If notice same thing with camera after restoreing from a back up when that back up is no good, will have to erase all content and settings and continue with set up as new.
    Good luck!

  • The screen on my powershot a2500 is black when I try to take a picture.

    The screen on my powershot a2500 is black when I try to take a picture. Is there a fix?

    Several items to check:
    Are the batteries fully charged? Low batteries can display photos, but may not have enough charge to snap a shot.
    Are you using flash? If the batteries are low, it may take some time for the flash to charge up and display the scene on the screen. The screen will stay black until the flash is ready.
    Are you outside on bright sunny day with polarized sunglasses on? Try without sunglasses on if this is the case.
    Has the camera been dropped at all? Even a soft drop can loosen up the ribbon cable that goes to the LCD screen.
    Are you able to see the menus? If you can, try a camera reset to defaults in the tools menu to see if that clears it up. You may have accidentally changed a setting that turned the screen when shooting. If not, remove the batteries for a few minutes then press the shutter button for a few seconds. Reinstall the batteries and see if that cleared it up.
    If none of these work, you may need to send it in for repair. You will need to decide if it would be worth it or not if it is out of warrranty.

  • Itunes encounters an error and closes when I try to sync pictures

    When I try to sync pictures to my itouch itunes encounters an error and shuts down. I have the itouch attached to the computer and my settings are to get pictures from file folder. I have done all the updates and have searched the support discussions for some ideas, but have had no lock. All the software is current. Any help would be greatly appriecated.

    itunes encounters an error and shuts down.
    That would be an unusual error message to be getting if you were having a problem with a photo cache ... but just in case ...
    Try deleting your iTunes photo cache, as per the following document:
    Photo Sync creates iPod photo Cache
    ... can you get a photo sync to go through without the crash after that?

  • When I try to import pictures from media card to iPhoto, I'm getting the error 'The following file could not be imported. The file is in an unrecognized format.'  The file is a jpeg and I've never had this problem before.

    When I try to import pictures from media card to iPhoto, I'm getting the error 'The following file could not be imported. The file is in an unrecognized format.'  The file is a jpeg and I've never had this problem before.

    What version of iPhoto?
    What colour profile is the shot?
    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

  • I have an iPhone 4S.  When I try to print pictures, from my Windows computer, it doesn't work.  Open Office also gives me an "unknown graphic" message.  These are JPEGs, aren't they?  Why can't I print and what is the unknown graphic?

    Hi,

    Did you point that SkyDrive changed to OneDrive?
    Did you move your OneDrive to another location or change its name?
    Please login OneDrive with web-based to check if you could access it successfully.

    Some mail programs, including Apple Mail, can reduce the size of images that are attached to a message. It's happening at the sender's end, and all you can do is ask the sender for a larger image.

  • Just installed elements 10 when I try to download pictures from camera card, elements 6 comes up to

    Just installed elements 10. When I try to download pictures from camera card, elemnets 6 comes up to process. I did mconvert.

    It sounds like a configuration option.  I would recommend posting your inquiry to the Photoshop Elements forum though.   Also please include which operating system you are using when reposting your inquiry.

  • I am really having a horrible time when trying to do our Church announcements in FCP X. When I try to take a clip from the event to the timeline my clips expanded and my timeline zoom level does not stay in the original place. Help

    I am really having a horrible time when trying to do our Church announcements in FCP X. When I try to take a clip from the event to the timeline my clips expanded and my timeline zoom level does not stay in the original place it moves to the right and is max out which makes every clip that I bring to the timeline expanded.

    What format etc. are the video clips and what were they shot on?

  • When I try to import pictures from another catalog, I cannot access my RAW pictures.  I can only seem them as non supported what do I do to import?

    When I try to import pictures from another catalog, I cannot access my RAW pictures.  I can only seem them as non supported what do I do to import?

    Sorry for the long delay.  I have Windows 8.1  and using Lightroom 5.7  I have organized my unedited RAW format photos in files on my hard drive in folders in My documents/pictures.  Once I edit them I move them to another folders on a separate drive and discard the rejects.
    When trying to access my documents by selecting .File - Import from another catalog- my documents/ pictures; I see the folders, however when I select it, it says No items to match your search  When using the drop down menu on the lower right I can only see the images if I click on "all files" and when I click on the image I want to import,  it says "Lightroom cannot import this catalog; "The catalog does not appear to be a valid Lightroom catalog"
    All of this happend when I loaded a Cannon Pro 100 printer plug-in.  I tried to disable the plugin, but It is still happining and cannot access the images.
