You have to focus by moving the camera back and forth. Focus ring doesn't work. Also have to get close to object.

We purchased this to take macro photos of snow flakes. So, you must get close to your subject and use light. We experimented with taking photos of dollar bills. You can get in on all the fine detail not seen by the naked eye. Good luck.

Your most likely too far away from your subject. You need to be within about 1 inch.

yes, i had this problem. i noticed that the playback looked fine on the camera, but when i transferred to my computer, it was jerky. turns out the problem was the kind of application I was using to view it. I found the free GOM player, and this solved the problem nicely.

The camera is NOT defective and this is a simple issue that is easily fixed.On the left side of the viewfinder housing is a little, flat, vertical wheel/dial. This is the optical adjustment wheel for the viewfinder. Look through the viewfinder and use the fingernail of your index finger on your left hand to move the little wheel first in one direction and then in the other until the image is sharp. The wheel is "tight" but there are little ridges on it that your fingernail can push against to make it move. You will find that there is one position that will make the image through the viewfinder crystal clear. Sometimes the wheel gets moved accidentally. If it ever becomes blurry again just readjust it.

I sent this unit back as a soon as I received it. Never got it to work properly. No help from customer service either. Ended up with the summer dual view something or the other from Target. Cheaper and much better image quality. Good luck, wish I could help!

you're lucky that's all the problems you're having ,it depends on the camera you're using this doesn't work at all,it also depends on what frame rate you're using and which camera you're using it with, 24fps,23.98 on some camera won't work properly tell me which camera you're but before you do so,try changing the frames rates you're your camera

Try adjusting the diopter adjustment on the viewfinder- likely was off. Should view and record in focus.

maybe double check the settings menu, I saw a "dynamic contrast" in there somewhere. Don't know if it would help any, or if it's default on or off, I was clicking all over the place! It could also be using more power to light up the screen? Is your video card good for the resolution? Just guesses....

LadyR,Try several DVD's. It may be that the discs you're playing are the problem. It seems to me that if there's not enough info on the disc, when it upgrades the picture it fills in the blanks with "noise", which makes the pic look grainy. Just a hunch, but most of my discs look great with no adjustment now.

I tried those settings and omg so awful, my son died as I was changing them. I went back to default and it's so much better, brighter and sharper. When I changed the sharpness to 3 it was all foggy, how is that working for everyone???

Has anyone else found it impossible to get the fisheye to focus? It's blurry as heck.

I have the same issue. Its likely that either the LCD is not correctly polarizing, or the display 'glass' (plastic) has a polarization issue. Kind of odd that QA would not catch this.. :(

The view finder may look grainy, but it should not affect the image quality. To test this, use the "stop down" button with a Canon lens set to a smaller aperture. This is an effect of the camera, not the lens, i.e. it should happen with any lens without affecting image quality.
