Can you take pictures with the flip camera?

How can I get my digital camera to take better pictures??? I tried everything ...?

  • I took photography in college but used a 35mm and did my own developing but that was 7 years ago - I am capable of taking really awesome pictures - but I'm new to this whole digital thing and everytime I take a photo its looks great on my camera's screen but when I upload it to the computer it looks all grainy or dark, or out of focus or just not sharp- I try to use the editing tools and change the photo but they still come out looking grainy and when I print them on photo paper they still look like poor quality. Could it be I have a crappy digital camera ( only some pictures have come out perfect) or am I doing something wrong -Are there different rules in taking good digital pictures than of those with 35mm -If I do have a bad camera (Hyundai 5.0 megapixel w/zoom & video) - are there any gadgets or anything I can buy to attatch to my lens to make the pictures more crisp and have better clarity - or should I just get a better camera -the one I have was a present from my Fiance.

  • Answer:

    I find the ISO setting in digital cameras very useful. The ISO setting is essentially the way the camera controls it's sensitivity to light. If you're taking a photo of a still object, like a flower, then always use a low ISO setting. It allows for a longer shutter speed and produces a cleaner image. If you're shooting a moving object, like a baby playing with a toy, then a higher ISO setting of say 400 would be better. Do take note, however, that a higher ISO setting gives a faster shutter speed and requires less light. Hope that has helped a little x

There is essentially no difference in photography between film and digital. The only key difference is that film has a significantly greater range than digital has. [this means when you're taking shots outside the shadows and bright spots will come out worse with digital]. Also, you might want to calibrate your monitor, which may be distorting your results. Since you have a digital camera and essentially limitless film, experiment a LOT with what you knew from your courses. If you follow the basics and are still getting less than great results then think about a camera upgrade. Remember, photography is the capture of light thru the lens -- if the lens is a chep piece of glass or plastic then your results will be greatly varied. I have some tips on one of my blogs available here: http://outdoorphotoguide.com/community/blogs/learn_digital_photography_blog/default.aspx The tips are pretty basic but some friends found them helpful so I reposted them. One last thought -- if you attach anything to the camera you will probably make it even more difficult to take good shots. Everything that you attach steals light and could throw off the light meter of the camera.

read the manual, you may not have the resulotion set to the maximum level your camera is capable of using. THis may take up more meory from your memory stick but the pixels of the pictures will be better.
