3 .1 bluRRED IMAgEs
If you notice that some of your videos or photographs are
blurred, it could be due to various reasons. As with any other
camcorder or still camera, keep in mind the following:
•
if you use the zoom, you must have a very steady hand to
hold the ArCHos 404 CamCorder when filming or taking a
picture. Any shakiness is magnified and often renders the
image blurry.
•
shooting in low light conditions requires more time so that
the device's sensor can capture a sufficient amount of
light. thus, any camera movement or fast movement in the
camera's sight will be blurred.
•
trying to film or take pictures of close objects may also
give out-of-focus results.
3 .2 lIghT/ExpOsuRE IssuEs
When taking a photo against a bright light source (for ex-
ample a window when you are inside, or the sun when you
are in an open space), it can happen that the object or per-
son appears too dark in the photo. This is because the bright
background makes the camera select an exposure which is
not appropriate to capture the person or object in the fore-
ground. there are two ways of correcting this:
Use the Exposure setting (see: CamCorder Settings or
•
Camera Settings ).
