What to do if photos are blurred when shooting at night with my Samsung PL210?
Blurred photos at night occur because the camera slows the shutter speed to gather more light. To resolve this, select Night in the mode, turn on the flash, set ISO speed options, or use a tripod to prevent camera shake.
How to prevent red eye effect on my Samsung Digital Camera?
Red eye occurs due to reflection from the camera flash. Set the flash option to Red-eye or Red-eye Fix. If the photo has already been taken, select Red-eye Fix in the edit menu.
Why do subjects come out too dark because of backlighting on my Samsung PL210 Digital Camera?
When the light source is behind the subject, or there is a high contrast between light and dark, subjects can appear shaded. To fix this, avoid shooting with the sun behind your subject. You can also select Backlight in the mode, set the flash option to Fill in, set the Auto Contrast Balance (ACB) option, adjust the exposure, or set the metering option to Spot if a bright subject is in the center of the frame.
Why does my Samsung PL210 take photos with dust spots?
Dust spots in photos can occur when dust particles floating in the air are captured when using the flash. Turn off the flash or avoid taking photos in a dusty place. You can also set ISO speed options.
