Out of focus i733

In both macro and normal, when I half-depress the shutter button I watch the autofocus searching for focus, it goes through a sharp image, but settles on being out-of-focus. It happens when I have a single large image at a fixed distance in the center of the viewfinder (ie, it's not focusing on something else that is brighter or bigger). It does this on long distance as well as closer objects. It used to focus better. Seems like a software issue to me. Is there a software re-install or something I can do?

SOURCE: Focusing distance in macro mode

The Macro Mode operating range is 8 inches to 20 inches. This means the camera must be between 8 inches and 20 inches away from the subject for a picture to be in focus.

My pictures always come out very dark. I'm not sure if the settings need to be adjusted. I tried adjusting the color but, the pictures are still dark. What should I do?

SOURCE: D90 won't autofocus at distance

Mine seems fine. The only other thing I would think to check is the focus lock is off and the focus area setting.

SOURCE: I733 POARIOD PICK CAMERA.

This is a common problem with the camera. I have been dealing with fixing cameras for awhile now and have a good solution for this model. First, Polaroid cameras have a problem with certain brand batteries. Some batteries are marked "alkaline" but have a carbon base, because of this they will not power camera on properly or they do not have enough power to keep power on, sometimes causing the lens barrel to get stuck out and tilt. Recommendation: only use Energizer Lithium or Duracell Power Pix. You will get your moneys worth and you will not be spending a fortune in batteries. You can also look into rechargeable batteries (strength of 2000 mAh or higher). If the lens barrel gets stuck outside of camera, the camera will not power on. You DO NOT WANT TO PUSH THE LENS BARREL INSIDE, if you do this you will no longer be able to use the camera. Usually the lens barrel will tilt slightly, if this happens, GENTLY pull the lens barrel up and in the opposite direction of the tilt, you will hear a slight click sound and the lens will now be straight again. Now, insert NEW batteries (as recommended above), the camera should power on and the lens will retract back into the camera. This is the only time you should be pulling on the lens, remember DO NOT PUSH THE LENS INSIDE.

My samsung es80 does not make sharp pictures anymore

Difficult to go on only does not make sharp pictures anymore.
Seeing one picture says more than 1000 words. Still I give it a try.
When you are sure you did not change the focus settings and don't switch over to macro settings, while shooting normal, I can't help. But I do advice to look in the manual on page 41 and put the camera in Auto focus. (Not one of the macro modes) then when shooting, wait till the camera has focused, while you pressed the shutter realise button half. When the camera is in focus, the square in the middle of the screen becomes green, press the button down. (without moving the camera)
Also select a high resolution (big photo size) because small photo size is easy seen as a blurred picture.

I have a Kinica z5 camera with anti shake. The problem is almost all pictures are blurry.

With autofocus digital cameras, blurred photos are almost always a result of camera shake. You need to hold the camera still even after pressing the button, as there is often a short delay before the shutter fires.

Many digital cameras have a two-stage shutter press- first pressure causes the camera to focus, then the follow through pressure takes the picture. If you are rushing this, you may get unfocussed shots.

Finally, make sure that you have not left the camera in Macro mode. This is a special extreme close-up mode offered by some cameras, and it does not allow autofocus on objects at normal distances. The icon for Macro mode is a little flower. Some cameras have a "face recognition" mode that tries to find a face in the shot and focus on that, so check your autofocus modes to see if it is set to something odd like that.

My camera is taking blurry pictures and its blurry when u look at the screen

Have you checked the autofocus? You may need to clean the front sensor. Hold shutter down half way to see if camera will autofocus, try this in several modes. Hold shutter half way down and look at screen, picture should come into focus. Make sure you do not have "Macro" selected

I have a nikon d200, lately the shutter lags 1-2 seconds.

It is probably delaying while it autofocuses.  If it is like most Canon cameras, depressing the shutter half-way should allow you to focus without taking a picture, then when the moment is right, depress the shutter button fully to take the shot.  You will want to practice this a bit to get used to it.  Shooting in low-light it can take longer to find the focus, so it becomes more necessary to use this technique.
Hopefully that helps, but I am not a Nikon user.

I have a Nikon D200 camera. It's now 2 years old and I'm having difficulty with the auto focus. The camera focuses but it comes in and out and I have to depress the shutter several times to get it clear....

the auto focus works on the basis of contrast. If you aim your chosen auto focus square at an item that fills that square with only one color or shade of color light a blank wall or a solid blue sky the camera can't focus because it is trying to compare the contrast in order to focus the camera. try to make sure that you choose an item with contrast to aim your auto focus square on like someones eye and part of their cheek so the camera can see somre contrast to evaluate then focus. Obviously you depress your shutter half way to activate the auto focus let the camera do its thing keeping the shutter half way depressed move your field of vision to where you want it then fully depress the shutter to take the picture. the camera relys on seeing some contrast within your autofocus square in order to auto focus

Fuzzy pictures from my Panasonic DMC-FZ5

Fuzzie picture -meaning out of focus? Check that you have not got 1- macro setting on [setting symbol looks like a tiny plant] or that you have a low light setting which menas it is taking long exposures. Aslso the Auto foxus may not be function as it should - one possibility is that the way you hold the camera covers the 'window' make sure your fingers are aware from any of the front top panel 'windows' When you depress the shutter part way down- does the lens 'motor' to focus Or indeed are you doing part way or are snapping off shot and giving the camera time to focus? Lots of thing for you to check out, before we start getting worried. The difficult ones are if the camera has taken a knock and the lens mount has become dislodged But do all the check first and do consult the manual

H1 out of focus above 7xzoom?

HI, are you sure that there is no conversion lens setting activated in the setup menu? It sounds like that to me. These modes limit the ranges. I hope it will help, otherwise you will have to bring it back.
