Picture out of focus at times

With a DLP TV, getting a darker picture means it is time to change the bulb.

Your television have problem in focus appearance.The picture have out of focus that why the picture is blurred.The problem is in the CRT socket of you TV it is connected to the tube,the white crt socket with 9 terminal.So you need to replace the CRT socket o make the picture good.It can be replace by using soldering iron and soldering pump.So you better call a authorized repair technician to do the repair.

guessing this is a rear projection tv. You did not provide a model number. Check the CRT fluid to be sure it is clear and not cloudy. Since you mentioned the problem was gradual over time, I'm guessing it is the fluid. This would be more obvious if you were seeing like a frosted look to the picture or dark areas and bright areas, which are caused as the fluid clouds up.

Your alternative is to try adjusting the focus of each bulb on the focus block of the tv. I think with an older Philips the focus block is in the back of the tv.

On TV shows, they can take a blurry picture and enhance it to crystal clarity. In real life, however, those kinds of miracles aren't possible. In a photo editing program like Photoshop Elements, you can bring up the sharpness a little but you eventually reach a point where the picture no longer looks like a normal picture. The slogan is "garbage in...garbage out"...meaning you can only do so much to what you have to work with.

Hello
If the lines are thin and spreaded allover the screen from top to bottom, and are equally spaced around one inch of so apart, it will be a screen voltage rise problem. You just decrese both brightness, contrast and colour contols of your TV to zero position, and look into, where there is lines are visible on the screen or not. You should notice this in a drak room, so as to see is well, or close all the doors and windows to make the circumstance to a little bit dark.
If you can see these lines still, it is clear evidence of the above said fault. To rectify this fault you should open your TV. Open the back cover of the TV, and you will see a Line Output Transformer. It is otherwse known as LOT. It can be recoganiized easely as it its size. Normally it will look black in colour and a thick wire from it goes the picture tube's final anode, and look like it is stcked to it with the help of a rubber ******. Other two wires from it goes to the picture tube base board. These two wires are, one for focus and the other for screen.
There will be two controls on the lot, which can be varied, and seem to be integrated with LOT. Among, upper one is for focus adjustment, and lower one is for screen adjustment. Both will be marked as "Screen" and "Focus". You just find out the screen control. With the healp of a screw driver it can be adjusted.
Keep the TV on, Brightness, Contrast and colour to minimum, adjust this control to a little [ a very little movement should be done, otherwise the picture will be get blurred], to just eliminate the lines you see on the screen. Focus control and screen controls are interactable, that is adjusting one may effect the other. After eliminating these lines just up the brightness and contrast control to at about their mid position and press the menu button on the TV or remote control to get the menu screen. Look at the letterings, and if it seem to be out of focus only, just adjust the focus contorl to get well focused captions. The adjustments are hot, that is while the TV is operating. Take care. Ok.

Did you try turning the ring in front of the camera?

Have you tried to change the settings like to scenery or adjusted for lighting that could have an effect. The only time it's blurry for me is when I don't adjust for the picture I am taking. The camera itself focuses so maybe there hasn't been enough time for it to focus. Try those things and if it doesn't work I would take it in to a camera shop maybe it has internal problems.

do you have the satellite hooked up through the coax cable if so that could be the problem you will have to manually set the settings with the remote. always make sure you have only one thing hooked up at a time. if you have cable and satellite dont hook up both it makes the picture lousy see the owners manual i think its page 58 or somewhere close to there.some times if both are hooked up it will not work at all.

You are probably going to need a faster lens to get pictures like you want, like around the 1.* range. If you have the ASA at 1600 and aperture at the minimum in Av mode, try and keep the exposure time to 1/focal distance. Such as, if you are shooting 200 mm lens then maximum exposure time is 1/200 second. If you zoom out a bit to 50 mm then it may look better too. You may as well turn the megapixels down too because otherwise you'll just see the blur even more, I'd suggest 3.2 megapixels that will look good in 4x6 photos or on the web. Other than that, try and take pictures where the action is coming at you or going away. Get as close as possible too, so that you don't have to zoom as much. At the H.S. football games I go to it seems like they let anyone down near the field who has a big lens.

one of the possible cause of the said problem can be a defective or broken flex ribbion cable carrying signal to the focus motor. the replacement of the flex will solve the problem. othe may be friction in the focus assembly. cleaning of the same will do the job. but in both the cases you will need the help of repair shop.
