Samsung digicam VPD103i recording is blurry on normal view but is clear when on night capture. I have tried auto focus and checked manual but cannot seem to fix it. Please help.

Hello,There are several possible reasons why your SG6153 camera may be blurry at night. I love this camera and researched all the necessary steps you should follow to avoid the blurr.

1. Adjusting the focus: Make sure that the lens is properly focused. You can try manually adjusting the focus or using the camera's autofocus function.
2. Improving lighting: Make sure that the area around the camera is well-lit. This will help the camera capture more light and produce clearer images.
3. Reducing camera shake: A shaky camera can cause blurriness. Try using a tripod or stabilizer to keep the camera steady.
4. Changing the shutter speed: Try using a faster shutter speed to reduce motion blur.
5. Cleaning the lens: If the lens is dirty or smudged, it can cause blurriness. Make sure to clean the lens with a microfiber cloth or lens cleaning solution.
6. Updating firmware: If all above steps fail, check if there is any firmware update for the camera, sometimes bugs and glitches can be resolved by updating the firmware
   
   good luck

blurry can be due to out of focus or camera shake are the most common if you are in video mode try turning off Auto focus and using manual or the other way around , next if the image is blurry while in close up mode when does the image become clear again ? what adjustments are necessary to get a sharp image ? moving the camera further away ? change settings ? add more light ? does your camera have a setting called MACRO ? It seems your device has the capabilities to shoot clear video close up so let me know if anything I have suggested worked or was of no help .

Try a head cleaning cartridge.

try manual focusing vers auto focus.

Normally this problem is caused by incorrect setting of the dioptre. This is a "focus" ring on the eyepeice which adjusts for the strength and position of the eye. Try adjusting this for best focus at about 5-10metres prior to focusing the unit.

Since the camcorder returns to the auto shutter setting and the auto exposure setting when it's switched into Night Capture mode, I would say that might be your problem.  Change your shutter and exposure settings. To do this, switch to Camera mode, turn the menu dial to the setting you wish to change then press enter.  You may have to play with the settings until you get the desired picture. Remember, faster shutter speeds for faster action (stop action), and longer exposure settings for darker situations. Let me know if you need more help.

proper focus in any camera will see colors ..or else record in b& w and in bad focus... make sure your macro mode is off and norm-auto on... most focus problems are due to dropping or stuck lenses.

night mode might mean your day sense has gone bad... the white balance etc.look for a default setting and turn it on.

Most probably you have incorrectly set your camera to a Camera Record mode other than Auto.

If there is not enough light and you are trying to photograph the scene without flash, (eg. by setting your camera mode to a mode that is programmed not to use flash) then the camera has to compensate for the missing light by keeping its shutter open for a longer period of time so as enough light comes into its sensor.

If your hand shakes during that time, you get blurry images.

Check your camera settings. The Twilight scene mode gives you slower shutter speeds to capture dark, night scenes, but you need to stabilize the camera on a tripod or something, depending on the level of light of the scene you want to photograph. The Twilight Portrait, on the other hand, is the same as Twilight with the addition of flash is used to illuminate a person or foreground subject as well as capturing a night background. This mode also keeps a long shutter time for capturing the night background.

For taking pictures of people, I would suggest you use Auto or Portrait mode where the camera will automatically use fast shutter speeds and flash (if dark).

Hope this helps.

Your problem sounds like a focus problem. Could be that it's on manual focus and you're hitting the sweet spot only in full zoom? From the manual: 1. Set the power switch to CAMERA mode. 2. Turn the MENU DIAL up or down until the FOCUS is highlighted and then press the ENTER button.  M. FOCUS(MF) will display. 3. Turn the MENU DIAL up or down until the object is in focus.  Zoom out a little if focusing is difficult. 4. To return to AF (Auto Focus: ), press the ENTER button again. Hope it works out, let us know!
