Question 1:
The pictures I take aren't matching what I see when I look through the
viewfinder. The actual captured image covers a greater area than what
the viewfinder shows.
Answer:
The actual image and digital saved image may vary due to the refraction
of light through the viewfinder lens. Light bends through the lenses at
different angles based on a variety of factors including the distance
between the lens and your eyes, the angle at which you are viewing the
lenses and even the distance between your eyes. Generally speaking,
when the lenses are placed close to the eyes the way they are intended
to be, light will refract through the lenses in such a way that it focuses in
a tighter and closer area, making the image and the viewing area appear
smaller than what is digitally captured.
Question 2:
What is the ISO value (light sensitivity) of the Kidizoom ®
Twist?
Answer:
®
The Kidizoom Twist uses an auto-ISO value. It auto adjusts the
exposure time and light sensitivity depending on the lighting environment.
Question 3:
My camera turns on and then immediately shuts off.
Answer:
Please make sure you are using new batteries. If there is no bad
connection due to dirt on the contact spring/plate or deformation of
the contact spring or plate, the camera should be able to turn on. If
the problem persists after normal battery installation, you might have a
defective unit.
Question 4:
Why are my pictures sometimes grainy and fuzzy? Is there anything I
can do to improve the picture quality?
Answer:
In a poorly lit environment, the frame rate (shutter speed) drops to allow
for a longer exposure time. The downside of this is that any movement
in the frame, or of the hand holding the camera, can result in greater
blur. Furthermore, the camera sensor will soften the edges in low light
to counteract the darkness by reducing the image noise. This too can
sometimes result in a blurred picture. Try to improve the lighting to get
better results.
