New DC210plus--all pictures blurry

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Imaging Resource Discussion : One Thread

I bought a Kodak DC210plus today, and all the pictures are blurry, as though the auto focus isn't working. I have tried it on a tripod, with and without flash, up close, at a distance, using batteries, using the ac adapter, I reset the preferences to high resolution and best picture quality--no luck. Has anyone heard of some of these cameras being defective out of the box? Thanks, Larry Maras

Hello,

I'm new to cameras, so I might be wrong here. But the Imaging-Resource review of the DC210+ leads me to believe that the camera doesn't have auto-focus. In the optics section they say that "The DC210 sports a 2x fixed-focus zoom lens..."

Granted, this doesn't mean that all pictures should be blurry, but this info might be useful.

dude....i'm sure some bad digicam's slip by kodak too...if the sample images from dc210 reviews are a lot better than you've got a bad 210..return/exchange it...

later :) good luck

You need to take it back. My 210plus takes very clear pictures Bill
