How to focus my document camera - Avermedia AVERVISION 300AF+ PORTABLE DOCUMENT CAMERA

Down load cam scanner from the App store, read instructions on how to use, turns TXT to .pdf document, ensure the txt is not to close, ensure you have plenty of light so the phone can focus camera, clean camera lens with soft cloth.

Try this tip.

You can zoom completely independent of the focus.

Some lenses immediately override the autofocus when it senses you turning the manual focus ring. Other lenses don't, and you can damage the lens by forcing it. It depends on the lens, so you'll have to consult the documentation for the specific lens.

Hi -

A simple solution for the cable is to buy one at a store like Best Buy, although you might save some $$ by getting it at a large computer store, like MicroCenter or such-like for cheaper. Be sure you have the camera with you so they can match the two USB ends -- the one for your computer is the usual one; for the camera will likely be the smaller one (there are a couple of smaller sizes, which is why it's good to have the camera).

If you aren't able to take the camera with you, try going onto the GE website, search for the camera model, download a specification document that will tell you what size it takes.

As for the focus issue, I don't know about this model specifically, but most all digital cameras will lock onto the object you focus on if you press the shutter-release half-way down. Then, maintaining the half-press, reposition your camera to your liking and then press the rest of the way to take the picture. Focus-and-hold, reposition, press all the way. Might take a little getting used-to, but the skill comes quickly.

Good luck on your photo class. They're great for starting out -- and even for experienced photo enthusiasts as a refresher!

Above all, take lots of pix, and have fun!

Hope this helps!

Most CMOS web-cams have a focusing ring round the lens which rotates to give you basic adjustment - after that the auto-focus should sharpen up the image

Keep the camera on AUTO, and refocus on every shot (push the button down until you see the green cross-hairs in the center of your subject - let up and then "snap" your photo).

To change the battery - open the door on the bottom right.

Set focus - it is autofocus is it not? Take a few pictures and check whether they are sharp or not Also make sure your finger is away from the sensor window when holding the camera

hi Document camera image is blurry: -The lens is dirty - Clean the lens with a blower or lens cleaner -The picture is out of focus - Focus the picture by turning the focus ring -The light is not on - Turn on the light check user manual for more details: http://www.fixya.com/BrowseManual.aspx?mnlid=5662&prdid=147420&__PAGED_=1 good luck

Make sure the camera is not in Document mode . Document takes a picture with added contrast so text stands out. Make sure the camera is not set to Infinity focus . When you select Infinity Focus, the camera automatically turns off the flash and auto focus so you get sharp, clear pictures. Make sure the camera is set to Fill, Auto, or Red Eye flash. See your camera manual for details about setting the flash.

I was first going to also suggest a reset. Does your manual focus function correctly from near to far(turning the focus ring in manual) and does the wide to tele motion function fully and smoothly? (lens adjustability without restriction) Was your camera exposed to extreme heat or elements?(beach sand or water of any kind) It may mean electronics only or a mechanical restriction causing an electronic malfunction. A last resort may mean your closer documenting when or how frequent it happens and maybe ultimately a trip (for your camera) to Sony. Get a price quote for repair since you might strike a happy medium of using the camera differently (manually focussing) without exceeding the value of the camera for repair costs.
