all digital pics blurry


Recommended Posts

i have a sony DSC-P72 digi cam, 3.2mp. went to a football game today and took around 20 images. when i got home almost all of my images were blurry beyond hell. the specs for the dhutter speed were Automatic: 2 seconds to 1/2000 second. but when i got home i messed with it more and tried alot of different settings, and the most i got was 1/125 even shakig it around, taking pics of case fans at 2600rpm that kind of stuff.... i mean at 1/125 only way that was achieviable was putting the camera 5 inches from the fan... so how the hell do you get 1/2000 on the thing? what do you have to do in order to get it to work?

its a auto camera but still

you don't get shutter speeds of around 1/2000 unless you are outside on a very sunny day.

the average person can hold a camera steady to about 1/60 of a second.

if the shutter was in the 1/4 to 1/30 of a second range your hand has to be very steady to hold it without it getting blurry. i think most likely the camera wasn't in focus since you said most were a shutter of 1/125.

that's the f-stop (aperature.) it's the amount of light that it lets enter the camera to take the pic.

and i think he means macro mode. it is used to take closeups. it's normally shown with a flower on most cameras

one of the reviews i read i saw this

Format: JPEG Aperture: f5.6

Exposure: Auto Shutter Speed: 1/500 sec.

Res: 2048 x 1536 Flash: Off

Quality: Fine ISO: 100

File Size: 1.41MB Focal Lgth: 39mm (35mm Eq.)

so they got 1/500 of just takin a pic of a building....

ok? what about it?

i was takin pics of a moving thing and getting 1/10th that (the football players) or cars moving by...

interesting thing. turned on flash, went outside took a pic, and it wasnt blurry... even though the object was well over 60 feet away.... whats up with that?

Low Light conditions would have caused your blurry pics - your camera would have automatically compensated the shutter speed to match your ISO level and low light - if it hadn't of increased the shutter speed, then you would have got very very faint pictures that were underexposed.

When using flash, obviously there is a huge amount of light available, therefore a lower shutter speed is needed - hence no blur.

but i just was outside in full daylight (well it is cloudy) and the moving car was at least 60 feet away so it wouldnt get any of the light.... would it?

Cloudy conditions breed bad light.

As for using flash, again, it lowers the shutter speed - even if none of the flash reached the car, it would have still 'frozen' the action of the car moving due to the low shutter speed. I'll bet the pic of the car was a bit underexposed, yeah?

Faster = better for sports

Slower = Better for low light conditions

Unfortunately the down side of automatic cameras is that they tend to compensate for a lack of light and ignore the fact that blurry pics come too easily.

Perhaps your ISO level was a bit too low?

when you have the flash on, almost ALL cameras with set the shutter speed to 1/125 (at least they should anyway) only because if you dont have it there and the film speed is faster than 1/125 it will have a giant black spot on the image.

    • AMAZON needs to take total accountability for this.

    • Nice, hope they *finally* fixed the issue with the NTFS driver where the system would completely brick during large file copies using the built in driver. It's been broken for years requiring me to use the older, slower, NTFS-3G FUSE driver.
    • Windows 11 KB5094126 BSODing, freezing, forcing BitLocker lockout, breaks OneDrive, and more by Sayan Sen Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 last week as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. While Microsoft has so far not acknowledged any major problems with the release, some users online are running into problems. These range from OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. The most common one seems to be happening with HP systems wherein affected users say they hit 0xc0430001 BSOD (blue screen of death) error code after the KB5094126 update. We wonder if this could be related to the recent bug we covered on HP devices wherein the ongoing Secure Boot certificate updates are leading to similar issues. While we are not certain, users affected by this issue likely need to ensure that the boot.stl file is included on the installation media (such as a USB installer or ISO), if the above-mentioned dynamic updates are deployed. If this file is missing, computers may fail to boot from the installation media and could display the error 0xc0430001. This STL file is used by Secure Boot to verify that the boot files are trusted, so it must match the same Windows version and system architecture. To ensure the file is included, Microsoft recommends using the Update WinPE script, which automatically updates the image and handles the required files. Alternatively, you can manually copy the boot.stl file from the Windows\Boot\EFI folder on a Windows device and place it in the matching folder on your installation media before deploying the updated image. Aside from blue screening some users also note their systems have been freezing following the update. This could be happening to Lenovo PCs specifically. In the case of the OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, a user figured out that there could be a conflict with UAC. He explained: "Okay, so I did some digging, and in our environment KB5094126 breaks OneDrive and Dropbox in Explorer. I went through all our GPOs and found out that the combination of disabling UAC and having my user being a local admin breaks OneDrive in Explorer. ... If I enable UAC again, then it works, even with KB5094126 still installed." Hopefully, Microsoft will look into these issues.

    • It is when it's a desktop in my house though for a PC that's lightly used and not really important when it is. If it was a laptop, it would be a different story. The real solution is varied and begins starting at post #22 in that thread.
