The camera resolution for this tablet is 0.3MP and 2MP which means that pictures will not be very good and the main reason for it is video calling. For any other issues a factory reset will always work.

This is partly a function of the speed of the RAM on the SD card and the time these pocket digicams take to acquire focus. You need to have the fastest possible SD card to minimize this. Personally I can't stand it, my old Canon F-1 film SLR has instant response to the shutter!

Try going to the custom menu and turning on Shoot w/o Lens. The lens is manual and the camera cannot use automatic settings.

I actually returned the camera. My pictures were out of focus. I tried several settings and different lighting and it was inconsistent. I didn't have that problem with the other point and shoots I've owned. I only uploaded a photo to Facebook once and it wasn't difficult. You connect with wifi.

You may need to adjust the sensitivity of the amp on camera. I had the same problem. Check your settings to turn down the amp.

try pressing the button down halfway before you take a picture, I have heard this helps. Yes, some pictures are blurry, out of focus. But they are few and far between. Anyway, I bought the s3000, and I like it much better.

Also... what seems to help is a half press on the capture button. I do this before every shot to re-focus the camera especially if at a distance or people are moving. I notice that when I don't the photo is grainy or blur can occur. Hopefully the other post helped you, but you can do this too.

Take a close look at the little cone that has the lens at its tip. If you can rotate it, that should focus the camera.

I have to admit, it does not focus as well as I had hoped. But it may have been my fault by not pressing the button correctly. If I had it to all over again, I would probably go with the canon t3i.

Try adjusting the diopter adjustment on the viewfinder- likely was off. Should view and record in focus.

Yes, I took pictures and video. Sometimes tapping the screen works better than others. I ended up pressing down on the volume as the shutter as it was more reliable.

Hi, I don't have advice- but have the same problem! I'm frustrated that I purchased this camera and now can probably not return it!!! Good luck!! let me know if you find any tricks to get better pictures.

I want to say it is fantastic, but the pics were very grainy looking. I was discouraged from wanting to use it again. I even tried downloading "better camera apps" but they didn't work out so great either. Another concern for me was the brightness of the flash. It was not nearly as bright as needed to be. It seemed more like an LED soft white light. My understanding of the product is the company may somewhat be new, so there is room for improvement but so far it's not quite there. Another main concern is the internal volume for music and media is way to soft. I am a radio on air personality and at the station we have a few options on how to play music. CDs, records ( believe it or not ), and so on. I myself use my phones' mp3 player along with an app called Dj mixer because of the cross fade option it has. The app works great on this device, how ever I need it to be able to play louder through the head fone jack to the imput on our sound board so the ohms can reach unison. I had my sound board to max along with the volume on the tablet and I still could not reach the ohms needed. I have the app on my DROID and it worked fine, however I am at the mercy of people trying to call my phone or text while a song is playing, because it will shut the player off in the middle of a song. I needed this tablet for exactly that, and it sadly, did not come through for me. I hate writing bad reviews, and I apologize for it, but it did not meet my specific needs. I'm sure it will be fine for someone elses personal needs and I hope I'm right. over all: the device is good for most useage, except for camera and flash, and media volume... everything else is good. Thank you for reading, and take care

I think that is just your auto focus. I get the same sounds from my Nikon D3100 in the video mode. But, only when it is focusing. These are primarily still picture cameras. Video is just a nice option and as yet not quite perfected yet, I guess. The more you use the video function, the better you will get at focusing and you can kinda work through it. I personally don't use it that much, but it's nice to have if you do need it.

Send it back, buy another camera. Mine did the same thing I have to push it really hard for it to stay in. Also now it won't focus. They are poor quality and support is even worst. Send it back.

Has anyone else found it impossible to get the fisheye to focus? It's blurry as heck.

Mine are blurry and yellow; slow for movement- not much luck with that setting. New to the Cyber-shot, would love the pictures to come out; for we have daughters that play basketball
