Picture is almost black in digital camera!

by shannonpatrick17

Hi,

I don’t know much about digital camera, but I recently got optimus 5 megapixels.

When I took pictures even with the built-in flash, even light-skinned and olive-skinned public appear exceptionally dark, nearly black, it’s so eerie, I’ve never seen anything like this. Even my low-quality cellphone pictures appear brighter and better in comparison.

I am doing everything right, I have the flash, the camera is new, the batteries are in place, so what’s going incorrect? What must I do, is the built-in flash useless, then? I thought it’d make the picture brighter, but it doesn’t. It’s exceptionally dark.
Like I said before, I don’t know much about cameras. And I am not sure if it has any settings where I can exchange brightness. But the vital business is, the picture appears LIGHT BEFORE CLICKING, once you shoot and capture, it appears exceptionally dark.

Isn’t this eerie, I mean, the light-skinned person looks light-skinned (normal, that is) on the screen former to capturing (shooting or clicking) the picture. Once you capture it, the picture is really dark, in complete contrast to what appeared on the screen former to clicking.

What settings are you using? Read your manual, it will tell you which settings are right for which situations. What model camera do you have, more information is needed/

the most vital part of any camera is the first 6 inches behind the viewfinder.

check all the settings on your camera.
pay attention to the effective range of your flash.. usually about 13 feet or so.
exposure?
apeture?
white balance?
available light?
thumb in front of the lens?
thumb in front of the flash?

again…the most vital part of any camera is the first 6 inches behind the viewfinder.

Check what background you are using. If you have it on Auto and are using it in fixed light, there is a conundrum. You may have it on a manual background of some sort, or a background that has too quick a shutter speed. If you set it to auto and that still happens, check to see if your flash is working. It may be that the batteries are low, something is blocking the flash or the flash is simply broken. If the camera thinks the flash is going off, but it is not charitable off enough light, you will end up with just what you described.

Excellent luck.

This is a smaller Konica Auto S3 rangefinder camera which was photographed to show the lack of close up ability on the Yashica 35 GTN. – which isn’t excellent with the standard lens – you digital kit lens public are too pampered nowadays..!

hi, i need to buy an inexpensive digital camera very soon, and don't have time to research the many customer reviews. the main features i need are:

(1) exceptionally excellent rendition of details in both highlights & shadows

(2) high resolution

(3) minimal distortion – i'll be photographing paintings for a portfolio presentation

additional features – not necessary, but nice to have:

(4) optical zoom

(5) whatever it is that digital cameras have that reduces blurring caused by unwanted movement (i despise to mess with tripods).

(6) flash would be nice, but not at all necessary.

my budget is pretty tight. what's the best i can find in the range of $ 100 to $ 250?

also, if you can recommend any quality comparison sites, similar to consumer reports, that would be fantastic. i don't have enough time to read pages and pages of reviews, so charts would be fantastic.

i always preferred nikons when i taught film photography – canons weren't too shabby, any. but, as you can see, i know next to nothing about digital cameras.

i'm disabled, and have lots of things to do to prepare for this project, so your input will be very much appreciated.

Thanks!

I’d highly recommend this camera. It currently has a rebate so you’d be a cent under $ 200 You don’t have a huge budget, but this camera has what you need.

IF you were a serious and a skilled photographer you WOULD NOT be asking this question.

A 250$ camera will get you a simple point and shoot. Nothing that a Skilled Photographer takes pride in.

What do you reckon? Answer below!
