Sony HDR fx7 fuzzy image

When shooting dance performance/stage, image started getting blurry and fuzzy, I would be setting the shutter speed to 30 or 60, gain 0 to 3, iris open to optimal exposure between 3 and 4. I was shooting in SD then, have not tried it in 1080i to see if problem is the same, I do not have this problem on my FX1000 which I use to shoot with the FX7 at the same time. I will be shooting more dance recitals this month, and wondering if you have any suggestion for the FX& problem

My shutter speed is very slow and when I take pictures I think when it's dark is when I notice the problem but the picture will not take. Also if someone moves their face is blurry.

What mode are you shooting in? It seems you may either have your shutter speed set manually to a slow speed or, alternatively you have set your apperture set to a high number e.g f/20 or there abouts. Because this is a very narrow apperture the camera will compensate by using a slow shutter speed.
Try some shots in fully automatic mode and see what happens. With a slow shutter speed you can expect any movement to produce blurred images.

Hi, the photos i take are getting blurred and the image is not at all clear no matter how shot the distance may be i click the image.the only new icon i see on the screen is vibration warning symbol along...

If you are shooting in Auto mode with flash, this should solve your problem. Make sure you are not dictating any of the settings, i.e. choosing a longer shutter speed, a very small aperture setting, or a very low ISO (sensitivity) setting.

Typically the vibration warning icon will appear when the camera is trying to use a long shutter speed without flash in order to get the right exposure for a darker scene. Your outdoor (bright light) photos are probably OK.

In dim light with a point and shoot camera, you can have your choice between 1. blurry (using a relatively slow shutter speed), 2. dark (using a shorter shutter speed but no flash), or 3. a good photo with flash (which uses a medium shutter speed and added light from the flash)

My nikon d60 just started giving out blurry pictures no matter what setting it is on. The subject must be completely still to get any good shots. It use to not do this, what can I do?

A few basic checks Are you in full auto mode or some other shooting mode? Try different modes and see if any work. Does the shutter speed seem slow - like you can hear it cl - ick. When photographers want a blurry effect, slowing down the shutter is often used. Change mode or set a faster shutter speed. If none of these lead you anywhere, the imaging system that scans the imaging chip may be faulty. that's not a home repair.

The night setting results in blurry pictures

The grain is from underxexposure and the blur is from hand shake caused by low shutter speed. Try using a tripod. Also, change from auto settings and shoot in manual mode with a high ISO and low aperture setting. Good luck!

Without flash

Although your eyes can adapt to see well in low light, the camera needs a lot more light to take good photos than your eye needs to see in low light. Taking photos of a play or other indoor performance is a very difficult situation.

1) You need a fast lens, one that shoots at aperture f/2.8 or faster (i.e. f/2.0, f/1.8, or f/1.4). Your 18-55 lens is f/3.5-5.6, which is not a fast lens. When you zoom to 55mm, you can only shoot at f/5.6 which is 1/4 the light gathered at f/2.8, so the shutter speed needs to be 4 times longer, which means 4 times slower.

2) Set the camera to use the highest ISO it offers. Look in your manual for instructions on how to change the ISO. Don't forget to set it back when you are done!

3) Use the shooting mode that lets you specify the aperture. The camera will select the shutter. I'm not familar with the mode name for Nikon cameras - for a Canon camera this is the AV mode (for Aperture Value).

4) You may want to dial in some -EV - this means a "minus" value in the Exposure Compensation. I usually set this to -1/2 or -1 for low light shots. The photos come out just a tiny bit darker than normal, but the trade-off is that I get a faster shutter speed.

5) Even with all the settings above, the shutter speed is likely to still be quite slow. You must hold the camera very still. A monopod or tripod is usually necessary. In addition it helps if your lens has VR (vibration reduction) to minimize camera shake. Finally, no matter how still you hold the camera, if the subject is moving then the image will be blurry. So only shoot when the subject (person on stage) is relatively still.

If you don't have your camera manual let me know, and I'll look for it online and give you a link to the pages that detail the settings you need to change.

Fuzzy Images

There is insufficient light indoors, so the camera is selecting a slow shutter speed, which is causing camera shake, hence the 'fuzziness'.

Fuzzy images

Hey jjbeanwink,
This is a very nice lens, and is unlikely that your blurry images are caused by the lens. The most common cause of blurry pictures is that the shutter speed is set to low. A general rule would be your shutter speed should be at least 1/60th of a second while handholding the camera. The bigger the lens, and the higher the magnification of the subject you are using the faster the shutter speed you should use. If camera shake is the cause of your blurry pictures you could also try using a tripod. Another common cause of blurry images is subject movement, and one solution would also be setting a faster shutter speed. Another solution is using the flash to stop the action instead of the shutter speed. Of course manufacturers do occasionally make a bad product and that is why there are manufacturers’ warranties. If you just purchased this lens you could have an authorized service technician look at the lens and see if there is anything wrong with it. I these suggestions help!

Sincerely,
Allan
Go Ahead. Use Us.

Canon sd 550 (and sd 200) shutter speed

If you check out a review site such as www.steves digi cams. com or even the Canon site to check out the spec of the camera to discover what shutter speeds are available. When shooting fast moving subjects try panning the camera on the object as you press the release this will[to a degree] keep the primary image sharp[ish] whilst blurring the background

Blurry Images

The camera display is a two-stage progressive display. The image is roughed out, then the interleaving lines are filled in. This has no effect on the image itself, just the monitor display. Apart from the media, digital photography is the same as film photography, and subject to the same challenges and requires the same time-honored techniques. If your pictures are blurry, you may be shaking the camera. Practice holding the camera firmly to your eye, and squeeze (don't poke) the shutter release. If you are holding the camera at arms length to shoot - what can I say? You can also increase the ISO speed, so that the shutter speed is faster. You may not be focusing on the right area. Focus on the subject (line up the box in the viewfinder), particularly on the eyes, by pressing half-way on the shutter release. Holding, to lock the focus, re-point the camera to compose the picture before pressing the shutter release the rest of the way. Make sure you hold the shutter release and wait the 1/2 second or so for the exposure to complete (the 5700 is painfully slow), indicated by the "green" light in the eyepiece, before whipping the camera from your face.
