Picture problems
If you are not satisfied with the pictures that you get
from your PhotoPC 3100Z, you may need to adjust
some of the camera’s settings, or you may need to
brush up on your photography techniques. Try the
suggestions listed below.
The picture on the computer screen and/or printout
differs in quality from the image displayed on the
LCD monitor.
The PhotoPC 3100Z captures images in 24-bit
color (16 million colors). Your pictures will not be
displayed at maximum image quality if your
monitor or your computer's video controller does
not support this color depth. You may need to
upgrade your system to achieve the best possible
image quality.
If the image on the LCD monitor and computer
screen are different, check the gamma correction
and color correction settings. Try a different
combination of these settings.
If your pictures look better on the computer
screen or LCD than when you print them out, you
may need to upgrade your printer. EPSON color
ink jet printers provide excellent image quality.
Your picture is blurry or out of focus.
Make sure that your subject is within the camera’s
effective range. While the sensitivity is set to
standard, make sure that you are at least
50 centimeters away from the subject when taking
a picture without the flash. When you use the
built-in flash, make sure that you are within the
effective flash range of 50 to 420 centimeters for a
wide-angle shot, and 50 to 340 centimeters for a
telephoto shot. When using the macro feature,
you can position the camera 20 to 50 centimeters
away from the subject when using the flash, or 6
to 50 centimeters when not using the flash.
Observe the following:
❏ Make sure that the subject is not moving.
❏ Hold the camera steady while the image is
being captured.
❏ Make sure that your flash is not set to .
❏ Center your subject in the LCD monitor.
When you take photos using the viewfinder,
center your subject in the cross-hairs.
