Picture Problems

If you are not satisf ied with the pictures yo u get from PhotoPC 700, you m ay need to adjust some of the cam era settings, or else yo u m ay need to brush up on your photography tec hniques. Read the sugg est io ns listed below and giv e t hem a try.

Maintenance and Troubleshooting

Page 85

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

PhotoPC 700 captures imag es in 24-bit color (16 milli on colors). You r pic tures will not display m ax im um image quality if you r m on itor o r you r com puter’s video controller do es no t supp or t this color de pth. You may need to u pgr ade yo ur system to achieve the best possible im age 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 je t print er, for example, will provide exc ellent image quality .

Your picture is blurry or out of focus.

Make sure your s ubj ect is within the camer a’ s range. You should be at least 50 cm away to take a picture without the flash, and 20 cm to 2.4 m away to take a picture with the flash. You can take a picture as close as 10 cm with or without the flash in macro mode.

Make sure the subject is not moving. Be careful to hol d the cam era steady while the ima ge

is being cap t ured. Make sure your flash is not set to Flash off.

Your picture is too dark (underexposed).

You may need to us e th e fla sh. Set the fl ash t o Automatic or Forced Flash, following t he instructions on page 2-9.

If you are usin g th e fla sh, m ake su re yo ur subject is within the range of 20 cm to 2.4 m.

You can adjust th e ex po sure manually to ma ke yo ur photos bright er. For instructions, see page 2-11.

Use an image-editing prog ram to adjust the pictur e’ s brightness an d co nt rast.

If you are using th e macro mode to take close-up photos, be sure to pr ovide adequate lighting f or your subject, sinc e t he camera’s apertu re is au t omat ic ally set to the smallest setting in this mode.

Your picture is too light (overexposed).

If you are usin g th e forced flash setting, it may be too bright. Try setting the flash to Automatic. See page 2-9.

You can adjust th e ex po sure manually to ma ke yo ur photos darker. Fo r inst ru ct io ns, see page 2-11.

Maintenance and Troubleshooting

Page 86

When you use the fl ash in macro mode, you may find your pictures come out too light, since the flash is close to the subjec t. In th is ca se, try set ting t he f lash to Flash off.

If you are facing a bright light source , you m ay need to take your picture from a different angle.

Use an image-editing prog ram to adjust the pictur e’ s brightness an d co nt rast.

The color in your picture does not look right.

When you take pic tures under certain artificial lighting conditions, the colors may be slightly distorted. You can use image-edit ing software to adjust colo r.

Whe n you want to get m ore realistic colored im ages, for example, reddish images at dusk, set the white balance mode t o FIX ED . F or in structions, see page 3-5.

Part of your picture is missing.

Make sure you ar e not blo cking the lens with your finger, hand str ap, clothing, or other object.

A horizontal or vertical red line appears on your picture.

Red lines are ca used by glare. Avoid photographing very shiny surfaces that reflect light int o your lens.

The wrong date and/or time is displayed on your camera.

If you remove t he bat teries and leave the c am era for a certain tim e period, you will need to reset the clock. See page 3-7 to use the LCD monitor to set the clock. You can also set the clock from your comput er. For instructio ns, see yo ur digital camera soft wa re m anu al.

Maintenance and Troubleshooting

Your pictures do not look as good as they used to.

Your camera’s lens may be dirty or dusty. Try cleaning it following the instructions on page 6-1.

The area captured in the photo is different from what you saw in the viewfinder.

Take care to look straight through the vie wf inder. When taking photos in macro mode, we recommend you use the LCD m onitor rather than the viewf inder to frame your subject.

Keep in mind that the area visible through the viewfinder is slightly smaller than the area captured in the actu al photo.
