Solving Picture Problems

If you’re not satisfied with the pictures you get from PhotoPC, you may need to adjust some of the camera settings. Or maybe you need to brush up on your photography techniques. Read the suggestions listed below and give them a try.

Your pictures display poor image quality on the screen or when you print them out.

PhotoPC captures images in 24-bit color (millions of colors). Your pictures do not display maximum image quality if your monitor or your Macintosh’s video capability doesn’t support at least thousands of colors. You may need to upgrade your system to achieve the best possible image quality.

If your pictures look better on the screen than when you print them out, you may need to upgrade your printer. An EPSON color ink jet printer, for example, provides excellent image quality.

Your picture is blurry or out of focus.

Make sure your subject is within the camera’s range. You should be at least 2 feet away to take a picture without the flash, and 3 to 10 feet away to take a picture with the flash.

Make sure you hold the camera steady until you hear the beep.

Make sure your subject isn’t moving. If you want to photograph a moving subject, try increasing the shutter speed. For information about changing the shutter speed, see 3.

Make sure your flash setting is either automatic or forced flash, as described on page 5.
