Question about Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W30 Digital Camera

Pictures I'm not sure if I have a problem with it or it's just the way Sony W30 is, but i don't like it anyway. Some of the pictures aren't as good as others. You might say I move the camera while i take the pic but no , that's not the case. Some of the steady pics i take (enough to bother me) have a bad quality. Maybe it's something with my settings...i don't know. Some look so good but some of them are simply very unclear. If you have any advise please let me know. Thank You!

Well, if EVERYTHING'S unsharp, it's camera movement. If it's the subject that's unsharp (and flash wasn't needed) it's subject movement, or else your camera is set for manual focus and isn't focused at the right point. Set the flash for AUTO, so it'll go off if needed. Set the focus for AUTO to make sure the main subject will be sharp (with people and animals, if the eyes are sharp, everything will look sharp). While I'm at it, some conditions will fool an autofocus sensor, like shooting through glass or at a subject with no features, like a plain white cloth, for instance. Some cameras have a "focus lock" feature where you can choose what you want to be sharp, hold THAT, and reframe before shooting. Your manual will have specifics on features. If none of the above work, it's probably time to have it serviced (if its worth more than, say US$150 or so).

Sony dsc-w30 photos taken some blurs, how w to set it right?

With autofocus digital cameras, blurred photos are almost always a result of camera shake. You need to hold the camera still even after pressing the button, as there is often a short delay before the shutter fires.

Many digital cameras have a two-stage shutter press- first pressure causes the camera to focus, then the follow through pressure takes the picture. If you are rushing this, you may get unfocussed shots.

Finally, make sure that you have not left the camera in Macro mode. This is a special extreme close-up mode offered by some cameras, and it does not allow autofocus on objects at normal distances.

Sony Vaio PCV-W30 uses sis 650_651_740 driver but on restart the graphics are horrible. If I uninstall;then re-install, the graphics work well - until another restart. No new drivers for 7 on their site,...

Have you tried simply running a windows update to make sure you have the most current drivers available that way? I have found the preloaded driver database is massive, but usually whatever the initial install misses the update picks up. Hope this helps.

Good Luck,

"The lens is jammed and won’t open all the way. You have to bang on the camera and/or tug on the lens to release it from whatever is causing it to jam when it opens. I started with gentle tapping and tugging…but ended up giving it three good whacks on a tile floor and yanking on the lens like I was going to rip the thing right out of the camera. It kicked on and has been fine ever since." I kicked the camera hard on its left side and it worked!

Check the Manual or the Sony web site to get an understanding of Multi burst You could simply type Multiburst in your search engine. I gather it is a series of individual still s that play sequentially, but check it out.
