Blurry images are generally due to one or all of the following three causes. The subject was not in focus, the camera was moving at the time of the exposure, the image was captured at too low a resolution. Out of focus images are by far the biggest problem with most of the images we see on the internet, we strongly urge you to learn to focus your camera. It will probably require you to dig out and spend some time with your camera's user manual.

Outlook pictures are generally too small for Full Screen and Business Photo Caller ID. Outlook re-sizes pictures to the 72x72 or 72x96 pixels resolution maximum and this is just too small. You can use SmartName or one of the other methods described in the section above. All you do is crop a few pictures, name the pictures with the name of the contact (i.e. "Lisa Green.jpg") and transfer them to the phone.

America Online utilizes graphics compression software that speeds up the delivery of web pages to it's members by compressing images and various multimedia applications. Images that are BMP, GIF or JPG are converted into the proprietary Johnson-Grace image format .ART. All AOL members have the option of deselecting "Used Compressed Graphics" in their Web Preferences.

If your pictures are coming out blurry, it may be because you did not adjust the focus lens. Locate the arrow on your focus lens and line it up with your preferred option.

We can improve some blurry images by applying specific filters. This method redraws the image and defines some of the lines of the image which we can then enlarge and make sharper. Using this process changes your photo and is best suited for an interpretive paint style like our Pop Art Pet Portraits. We do, however, encourage you to send the best possible image quality you have - at the highest resolution possible.

Blurry images are the result of uploading small pictures. Be sure your pictures are at least 300x225 for best results. If your pictures are larger than 300 (w) x225 (h), don't worry about it. Our system will automatically resize your large photos for optimal web presentation. Please note, we highly recommend using "landscape" images (short and wide - most common) and staying away from "portrait" style images (tall and thin). Portrait style images will have white space on the sides.

Depending on the size of the original document, some of the thumbnails are less than 1% of the size of the original. This extreme condensation of information is difficult to do with perfect clarity. The role of the thumbnail is to help you figure out if a particular map is the one you are looking for.

Night Scene mode is designed to help you capture better exposures outdoors in low-light conditions. The camera holds the shutter open longer than it would in other situations, allowing more light to reach the CCD. Because the shutter is open longer, it is very important to keep both the camera and the subject still. Camera motion during image capture will result in blurry pictures.

This is caused by AOL's image compression. It's supposed to speed things up but the images at this site are already optimized for speed and further compression just makes them fuzzy. Choose the "Members" or "My AOL" button. Select "preferences", the "WWW" icon, the "web graphics" tab and uncheck the compression box.

I master all my pictures at the standard resolution at 72 dpi and then optimized for jpeg. The problem could be your LCD monitor or it could be your AOL/Netzero browser. The default setting for AOL/Netzero to compress all graphics. Big Bad Divas images and graphics are already optimizing so that it does not make your computer run slow but they would look clear. AOL will run better if you minimize AOL and open Internet Explorer and type in www.bigbaddivas.

The amount of detail that the camera can capture is called the resolution, and it is measured in pixels. The more pixels a camera has, the more detail it can capture and the larger pictures can be without becoming blurry or "grainy." x256 - Found on very cheap cameras, this resolution is so low that the picture quality is almost always unacceptable. This is 65,000 total pixels. x480 - This is the low end on most "real" cameras.

UFOs come in all shapes and sizes. Some are only small spots of light that move in strange patterns across the night sky. These are called nocturnal lights (NLs) and are the most commonly reported type of UFO. Nocturnal lights are not really very interesting because the witness can see little detail; without details, ufologists cannot learn anything new. Faraway objects, often disk- or saucer-shaped, seen in the daytime are called daylight disks (DDs).

For timer shots, many cameras, focus when you press shutter button, not when the timer goes off. Thus, the camera focuses on whatever is in the center of the frame when you press the shutter and will fail to focus on you after you've moved into position in the center of the frame. The workaround is to point the camera at something else which is roughly the same distance from where you plan to be after you move into position.

Some signals had been duplicated and relayed many times. The broadcasters copy each other. The resolution has already been lost.

The camera may have taken a picture before it stopped moving to its next view. But it can also be quite windy next to the river, so maybe the camera housing was shaken a bit. This is more noticeable during a zoomed shot.
