Problem with my digital camera?

[CHfan4ever]

Look at this picture

Crappy pics

You see all the green/purple dots ??? Is this normal???Yes flash can help, but i see this greenish/purple decoloration.

What cause this? What can fix this?

I am using a sony 3.2 megapixel cybershot.Using high quality pic format (3.1 )

its called noise. your ISO is probably set too high, or your lighting is subpar for that pic to be taken.

 

[The Stigenator]

its called "half toning".. turn on the flash.. the camera tries to compensate for teh available light.. raises ISO setting and that happens

YOu need to get more light or you will need to go to a lower ISO setting and increase shutter time (tripod is highly recommended)

ohhh nooo, in my experiance kodak cameras are the absolute worst of digital cameras

Yup, looks like noise. Like others said, either better light or lower ISO/slower shutter speed would fix that. Better light would be ideal because the slower speed is gonna make you lose sharpness if you don't use a tripod.

It could be ... ghosts!

Add even more noise in photoshop, and start taking out of focus, black and white shots of fruit, and shoes, and breakfast cereals, and whatnot, and sell them as fine art prints for $1000 a pop.

did someone really recommend a kodak? ban 4 life

Have you guys seen that new kodak? BUILT IN wifi and a touch screen lcd, one of the biggest surprises of CES and it looks like a very very sweet camera.

Anyway yea its noise.

Only the recent ones. The old 2100x or whatever it was I used to have had beautiful color rendition and excellent low light capabilities.

I miss that camera.

If it was in auto mode, you need more light. If it was in manual mode, you need to lower your ISO value.

Better?

Picture is still rather grainy/blurry imo for a 3.2mp sony. Perhaps you don't have something else setup correctly on the camera. Maybe it just how that particular camera is. Do you have any auto-image sofeting/sharpening turned on in the camera menu?

Fixed.

Nah, but seriously. Set your ISO to 100 or 200, whatever it supports and use a tripod, or steady the camera on something. If all else fails, use the flash.

i assume you are using the camera in full auto mode?

read the manual.

Ok iv read my book and i dont see an option call Slutter time, can it have other words to decribe this option??

You have to pay big bucks for slutter time.

 

[CHfan4ever]

Oh ok i guess my camera doesnt have the option then. My cam is the DSC-P32 Sony quickshot

hehehe...its called shutter time, or exposure time. Its basically how long the sensor is exposed for. NOT slutter times

 

[TechnoKid]

oh, also make sure you are not using digital zoom on the camera.

 

[CHfan4ever]

OOOOO ok lol was wondering.But i still dont see how i can fix my shutter time.Its always slower when in darker area.I dont see where i can arrange this under dark condition.

if it is dark you are going to want the shutter to be open for longer so the sensor can gather enough light to make a picture. Does your camera have a full auto mode? howabout manual mode?

i think the sonys, specifically your model has a "twilight" mode that has exposure up to two seconds. Put the camera on a tripod and use that mode and see what happens.
