Topic: Camera Fuzziness

Ok, so I think I've identified the problem of my c910. The quality is just awesome, but there's always an extra layer of unnecessary fuzziness, which doesn't look good at all. I watch other brick films with the c910, and I see no fuzziness at all! I would be much more proud of my animations if the fuzziness was taken away.

Does anybody know of a way to fix it? Is it how I export the clip? The exposure, white balance, focus, etc? I'd like as much help as I can get. Thanks!! (I'll try to get an example picture up as soon as I can)

Re: Camera Fuzziness

There are a few things that could cause this issue:

  • A software setting that is reducing the sharpness.

  • If the lens on the camera is not fixed-aperture and it is being shot wide open, then this might also reduce sharpness. From the looks of it, however, your webcam is fixed.

  • A smudge on the lens. This hopefully isn't the case.

  • You may have just received a bad copy.

Do you have any specific examples of the issue that you could share?

I think the problem is my software. I'm switching to iStopMotion in a week or two.

oh yuck. Have you done a test with iStopmotion to make sure it fixes your problem. I would do this before buying it.

Re: Camera Fuzziness

have you tried making sure there is enough lighting? I have found before that if the lighting is too dim the quality of the image is not as good. Try an extra lamp, it may work.
