Apple QuickTake 150 (for Windows) - Manual (Page 61)

Images are too dark (underexposed)
m There may not be enough light to capture an image. Turn on the flash.
(See “Flash Settings” in Chapter 2.)
m The subject may be too far away for the flash to have an effect. Make sure
the subject is no more than 9 feet away. (See “Focal Range and Flash
Range” in Chapter 2.)
Images are too light (overexposed)
m If the camera is set to use flash with every image, that may be too much
light. Change to automatic flash. (See “Flash Settings” in Chapter 2.)
m The subject may be too close. Use the closeup lens for subjects from 10 to
14 inches away (measure the distance with the range finder triangles on the
closeup lens). Without the closeup lens, make sure the subject is at least 4
feet away. (See “Focal Range and Flash Range” in Chapter 2.)
m The camera may be pointed directly at a bright light. Try a different angle.
m The light sensors (above and below the viewfinder lens) may be dirty. Use
a soft, dry cloth to clean them. (To locate the light sensors, see “Your
Camera at a Glance” in Chapter 1.)
m One or both of the light sensors may be covered inadvertently. Be careful
not to obstruct the light sensors while you capture images.
Part of an image is missing
m Some part of the lens may be covered. Keep your hands, the neck strap,
and other objects away from the lens and the built-in flash.
Your computer reboots when you try to communicate with the camera
The Windows software on some computers cannot receive data at the speed
the camera sends it and can cause a reboot. To remedy the problem, you must
change the speed.
