Camera Taking Pictures Funkily
« on: June 18, 2006, 09:13:48 PM »
Okay, for a while now I've been having this problem...I perfectly get my subject into the shot, and hit the spacebar....and I get the feet of the animal at the top of the frame and a ton of ground instead...or sometimes I get the whole image upside down with weird lines going through it...

It's kinda annoying to say the least.

I thought it might be because I was holding the mouse and accidentally moving it last second, so I've been trying to take pictures by getting all zoomed in and stuff, and then taking my hand off of the mouse, and THEN snapping the picture...no dice.

It does this to me at LEAST half the time.

Anyone else experiencing this, or know how to fix it?

This happens to me too - I think it's because my optical mouse is a bit dodgy though, every so often the mouse position jumps to the corner of the screen.
This causes the screen to scroll and messes up the photo

Happens to me all the time, and I've got a wheely mouse.

I've never had the lines, but the camera tends to "dip" when I hit space bar (As if you're pressing the capture button on a real camera too hard :P) so I have to take the pic over and over again.

I also tend to get problems when moving pics from the camera to the album - they'll turn into a duplicate of one already in your album then if you delete it the old one clears (but still takes up a space, you have to delete it manually). It only happens occasionally with ES now though.
