Troubles with Canon G7...

Myka · #1 03-24-2010, 08:14 AM

Why are my bright colors showing up with a neon glow in my photos? Also having difficulties focusing...related? I was doing pretty well with this camera for awhile, but the last few months I can't focus and get this stupid neon glow. Is it something wrong with the camera, or am I getting all fuddled up again?

I'd help but don't know much about your camera model. I used to have a good old Agfa 35mm film camera with interchangeable lenses. Now I just have a couple of digital point & shoots. Does your Canon have interchangeable lens capability? Might be your lens is gone or has some moisture in it. Try another lens if you have one available.

Thanks for your reply Mike. The G7 is a digital point and shoot.

Some things you could try. For the color issue your set on auto white balance, I'd try a daylight setting it may help. Your Aperture is at f/6.3 and shutter speed 1/125. My bests shots with my olympus are f/4.1, 1/80 in macro setting with and the dial turned to image stabilizer. Your camera should have good image stabilizing technology so make sure it's on. Your ISO didn't come up for me but you can try to speed it up (image quality goes down) or use a tripod. I'm assuming this is a hand held shot, and that you shut off your water movement. If not that is needed. Hope this helps

I just found some info on your camera and the setting are more similar to my new camera ( Canon) so. Are you in Auto if so go to manual "M" or aperture priority "AV". I again use a tripod with remote switch to eliminate any vibration from pushing the button. ISO 400, f/8, 1/50. Just something to try hope it works for ya
