My Olympus FE-64 camera is having trouble with blurred pictures, how can I fix it?

by veer66

I’m running it on 12M. When I take a picture, even if the subject isn’t moving, there is still a small blur. What do I have to do to make it so there is no blur? The largest conundrum is when I am inside or in my high schools football stadium at night.

There are two reasons for blur.

1) as you know is subject movement the additional is 2) camera movement.

You really neglected to tell us what shutter speed you are using.

Here is what you probably want and as you see, shooting at 1/800th second, 3200 ISO and with an aperture of f/2.8, there is very small camera or subject movement.

Taking pictures, or photography, regardless of skill level, is all about light.

At night, in a football stadium there isn’t much light. (our eyes can exchange easily to low light; but our cameras aren’t as adaptable) When there isn’t enough light, your camera is begging for more light. Suggestions to getting more light.

- shoot with a slower shutter speed. (too slow and your camera will shake) I suggest 1/30 or 1/60th. To get relatively consistent results and avoid camera shake due to creature hands. (camera shake is when the camera moves because some external force acts on it. LIke unsteady hands or the wind or some rude guy that bumps into you)
- shoot at a higher iso (will cause added noise) As high as you need to to get your much loved shutter speed. If the subject is moving, you’ll need a nearer shutter speed i.e 1/250
- shoot at a wider aperture (as wide as you can to get your much loved shutter speed) i.e. f/2.8 or f/1.2 or f/1.1 or f/0.98
- use hte flash. It may not always produce desirable results, but a poor memorable shot is better than no shot at all. Keep in mind that the flash can only reach a few meters. It is nice to use with friends who are permanent still, but it is having no effect trying to get the flash to reach the players.

if the subject isn’t moving, feel free to rest your camera on something.

Any you went or the subject went. Try enabling Image Stabilisation. If none, stand absolutely still even up to a second after you press the button. If you really can’t do it, get a tripod and use the self-timer.

You are taking a picture in low light situation. The camera doesn’t see the way your eyes see. Raise ISO to force the camera to shoot nearer. Beware, high ISO values will result to grainy pictures. Try to strike a compromise between grain and blur. The best solution really is to shoot in better lighting situation.

sorry it is so intricate. I am trying to place pictures from my camera to my computer.its picture card is a M2GB.

Answer by dan karate
If your camera has an SD card, take the card out of the camera and find a slot on the computer to plug it in. If it is a mainframe, it should have a slot on the side. If it is a desktop(on that is permanently on a desk) it should be on the front near the disk area.

If you don’t have an SD card, you may have had a wire in the box. If you have that wire, plug in to the USB on the computer. You are out of luck if you don’t have a SD card or a USB wire.

You can go to a store and get them developed and then scan them into to computer.
