Picture Problems
If you are not satisfied with the pictures you get from
PhotoPC 600, 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 600 captures images in 24-bit color (16 million
colors). Your pictures will not display 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 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,
will provide 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 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 20 cm in macro mode.
Make sure the subject is not moving.
Be careful to hold the camera steady while the image is
being captured.
Make sure your flash is not set to Flash Off.
Your picture is too dark (underexposed).
You may need to use the flash. Set the flash to Automatic
or Forced Flash, following the instructions on page 29.
If you are using the flash, make sure your subject is
within the range of 20 cm to 2.4 m.
Use an image-editing program to adjust the picture’s
brightness and contrast.
If you are using macro mode to take a close-up photo,
make sure to provide adequate lighting for your
subject, since the camera’s aperture is automatically
set to its smallest setting when in this mode.
