How can I get my pictures from my digital camera to fuzz less and how i get nice pics w/o using flash?

I have a Sony Cybershot 5.1 MP. My pictures seems to fuzz easily. What EV, Focus, or whatever must I put it on so it fuzzes less easily. This seems to happen more easily when i'm taking pictures at night or in a darkened room.





Also, when I take pics at night I'm usually in a lounge or someone's place or maybe outside so usually the lights and hues looks great for photos and if i add a flash to the pic, it would lose that color effect. But also, many times, if i don't use flash, the pictures come out dark. how can i get my flash to flash minimally? it always gives 2 flashes....how do i set it so that it gives one quick flash thus giving less light?How can I get my pictures from my digital camera to fuzz less and how i get nice pics w/o using flash?
What you probably have is motion blur from the longer low-light exposures. If you don't want to use a flash, there are ways of making sharper pictures. One way is to go wider on your lens. Zooming your lens to telephoto will reduce the amount of light that gets in, but it also adds blur in another way. By reducing the effective ';size'; of the picture area you're taking, it will eggagerate the slightest bit of motion. Pushing the shutter adds motion blur, and so does your breathing and heartbeat. Taking a deep breath, pushing the shutter smoothly, they help some, but a tripod is what you really need for low light photos.





Also, make sure your white balance is set right for indoor lighting. If it's mostly incandescent lights (regular light bulbs), set your white balance on indoor light, so your pictures won't be too orange. Flourescent light is trickier. You can use the white balance for it, but the light usually just doesn't look normal, no matter how your white balance is set. Sometimes using a flash is better, and I'd say under flourescent light is the time for flash.





The two flashes has a purpose if you're taking pictures of people. The first flash gets the pupils in the eyes to close down some, so the people in your photos don't get ';red eye';. Another way to reduce red-eye would be to turn up the room lights. Other than that, you'd need to use off-camera flash, bounce flash, or not take pictures of people looking right at the camera.





Check your flash setting. There should be different settings on it. The double flash could be called ';portrait mode';, so just change to normal flash mode for a single flash. But watch out for red eye then! (Maybe it's best to just tell whoever you're taking a picture of that there will be two flashes, and the picture will be taken with the second one, so they won't close their eyes or turn away after the first flash.)





For pictures without flash that come out too dark, use your exposure value (EV) setting. Go to the plus numbers, and your pictures won't be as dark. Experiment with it to see how many stops of light you need to add.How can I get my pictures from my digital camera to fuzz less and how i get nice pics w/o using flash?
Hi, I recommand you to try google picasa.





picasa is a Google's photo software. It's what should've come with your camera.

It's very easy to use and is free, just like Google

Good Luck!
The lens stays open longer in low light.





Keep your hands steady. If your subjects are moving, it will blur.


Use a monopod or tripod.





The camera may have an aperature priority mode (big ';A'; somewhere). Put the camera in AP mode and hold real steady.





Crank up the ISO setting and try that as well. Did I mention keep your hands steady?





The first flash is for redeye - should not affect the final picture.
It fuzzes easily as when you go into low light the shutter is longer. this means you have to hold the camera real still. this is why a flash is used. I like the idea of shielding the flash. but realize the shutter is being set for the flash so if you block the light you will darken the shot you can press the top button on the back that looks like a lightning bolt. it turn the flash off or on or on always....you can stop the double flash by turning off the red eye reduction. rotate the selector to set up and turn off the red eye reduction. but turn it on if you are taking portraits (people). I am looking a camera just like it DSC P93.


To get minimum flash turn on the flash sl by pressing the upper button on the back until sl is displayed. this should help. Feel free to email me direct with any other q's I take pictures usually with my Canon Digital but I carry the sony around for fun stop nd shoots a great little camera
If you are taking pictures in low light, use a tripod or simply prop the camera on top of something so that it can't move while the photo is being taken.
To begin the reason as to why your flash flashes twice is not because it is actually exposing the image twice, no that would result in a double exposure. What the camera is doing is instead reducing the amount of red eye by causing the persons iris in their eye to shrink or get smaller thus preventing light to bounce back from the blood rich retina thus creating what we see in a photo as red eye.


With the type of camera that you have the only way for you to make the flash less harsh is to buffer it with some sheer cloth or even say a tissue. This should diffuse the light somewhat although not to the degree a off mounted, swiveling flash or a flash with a custom diffuser would do.


As for the fuzz, change the iso rating on your camera to a higher setting, perhaps 800 ISO. Sounds like the shutter speed is too slow for the ISO that you are using.
