can I improve photo quality

You can try a couple things: Print &gt; Properties &gt; Basic tab &gt; change print quality to fine, then click on 'Settings' and check 'Improve Pattern Printing'. Also from the Settings window, there is another 'Settings' button - click that to adjust color You can also try: Print &gt; Properties &gt; Advanced tab &gt; Other Print Options &gt; Improve Toner Fixing Also remember to choose the correct Media (paper type). After all that, however, my Epson inkjet still produces much better photo quality, especially on glossy paper.

Hint for the folks regarding dark photos. You can enhance the photo when you print them out. I've been satisfied with this product. Have done photos from WW2 that were in rough condition. Enhanced when printing and they look like I took them yesterday. This item is used to store and copy photo's only. Not enhance

Yes you can if it's on video mode you just simply press the photo button on top though be sure to focus it so it isn't blurry. If you want advance options switch to photo mode and simply read the instructions from that point :)

Yes, I noticed the same thing, you may want to change the ISO speed depending on what your shooting. Remember when using film in the old days, you would purchase 100, 200, 400, etc. The choice was depending on the numbers of what makes your photos grainy/smooth. Try the ISO change and see if that makes a difference. This camera doesn't work well if your image moves. Works well if your image is still. Also you could change the pixel size of the image to a smaller one, this might help also. Good luck!

Picture quality is terrible! I haven't found a way to improve it either. I am so disappointed in this camera.

No. The poor quality of this lens will not produce sharp, clear, impressive wow type photos. My opinion is to save up for a better quality lens.

You can get some nice crisp photos/text at close range using the "Macro" setting. Need to turn the flash off though...which of course slows the shutter speed. Takeing a picture of a page is very doable though and it looks fantastic. I was really suprised when I tried it.

Hi there Angela I recently bought this camera after doing a lot of research. One of the only things that people would sometimes say was bad about the camera was that under certain conditions, the pictures came out in a condition like the one you described. There are a few things that you can do to help get rid of this "noise": 1. Choose a lower ISO setting. This setting changes the sensitivity to the light. You cannot change this value in the "Simple" mode, but in PASM and scene you can. The lower the ISO level, the more likely you might need to use flash, so open the flash and turn it to Auto (the default setting) when you use a lower ISO in poor to moderate lighting. 2. Change the internal Noise Reduction to High. You can access this setting in the PASM or Scene modes only as well. Changing this may make the picture a little less detailed, but probably only noticeable in something bigger than a 4 x 6. Access this setting by hitting the "Set" button, and then go down the menu to the third page, to a setting called Pict. Adj. and hit the right arrow. Noise reduction is the last choice. 3. If at all possible, take photos in good lighting. This will limit the use for internal brightening and adjusting, which will keep the natural colors and less noise in the picture. Hope this helps!

Use a higher ISO setting. This camera takes great smooth pics all the way up to ISO 800. If your using it at the lowest setting (ISO 100) and you are indoors and/or outdoors with not enough light your pictures will blur occasionally.

Color can be improved somewhat by using the color calibration Advanced preferences feature on a 9840 connected to Windows XP via USB (see the manual and also the Brother FAQ 002477_001 entitled "How do I improve the color density?"). I don't know under what other conditions this works, e.g. Mac, Vista, etc. I have noticed that this feature does not seem to work on my network connection to the printer, but I'm still figuring it all out. The FAQ implies that it works on both Macs and PC's. I have to admit, however, that for the highest quality color output, I use a dye sublimation printer which makes photo quality prints, but which is too expensive to use for everyday use -- so I'm not all that concerned about how super the color print quality is from this printer.

For high quality shots without the color grading learning curve, you can set the camera's dynamic range to "video". It comes with DaVinci for free though and it's well worth learning how to utilize the auto grading feature to take advantage of full range of stops. But if you're looking for something easier...set it to "video" or get the pocket camera version and set that to "video", cheaper all the way around for what you're doing.

don't waste your time cleaning the heads just increase your picture quality to the next setting for a few prints it will clean it right up for you.

You can change your sharpness settings on the camera. look at your owners manual that comes with the camera.

Yes, if you understand how to chop. You can re-size. It also allows you to bring back more contrast and brightness to old photos. For the price it is absolutely amazing all that can do! Even my ET, PC savvy son, was a surprised.

You can get within four or five inches of most still subjects and get a good shot. The lighting can sometimes be a challenge indoors. I experiment with flash/no flash to get what I need. :^)

I had this camera for almost a year. I was happy with he shots but the low light quality is terrible. I had a lens with capability of f1.8. In low light the pictures still turned out bad if the iso was above 400. I sold this camera and bought a canon 40D. But if you still haven't decided (which you probably already have since this was from May) I would recommend Nikon's update camera, the d3100.

Yes with the proper photo paper you will get excellent photos. Hope this helps you.
