Tried doing the camera settings that are recommended for the canon DSLR (ours is the 1300D) that I found on your help section. But it comes out way too dark, messed with live view and all that but everything, even the preview in the camera settings section is just bad resolution. I've moved the device to high and low lit rooms to no avail. We don't have any external lighting source besides the fluorescent lighting (no flash) Just want to know what I'm missing.</p></div>Patrick Flanagantag:help.sparkbooth.com,2010-04-06:Comment/486759862020-09-29T21:33:11Z2020-09-29T21:33:11ZImage quality is highly pixelated<div><p>Live view is separate from the photo. You can increase the size of the live<br>
view by pressing ctrl-3 to open the camera settings.<br>
To configure the darkness of the photos, you need to adjust the settings on<br>
the camera itself (IOS, Shutter Speed, Aperture) - it is not controlled by<br>
Sparkbooth. If you do not know how to do that, you can use P mode on the<br>
camera. But M mode is best and takes faster photos, and results in fewer<br>
issues if there is not enough light.</p></div>Johntag:help.sparkbooth.com,2010-04-06:Comment/486759862020-09-29T21:36:35Z2020-09-29T21:36:35ZImage quality is highly pixelated<div><p>If your photos are pixelated, it either means you have a lower quality<br>
setting for photos on the camera, or you are using a photo layout with<br>
small photos (you can create your own larger photo layouts in the layout<br>
editor).</p></div>Johntag:help.sparkbooth.com,2010-04-06:Comment/486759862020-09-29T21:38:19Z2020-09-29T21:38:19ZImage quality is highly pixelated<div><p>Patrick,</p>
<p>You will not be able to get any good photos without good lighting.<br>
The main reason people use a DSLR camera is it has a Flash<br>
and you will need to have light(s) to be able to set up the camera settings proir to taking photos.<br>
The easiest way is to have someone stand in front of the camera in about the same spot/area that the guest/users will stand... set the on camera lens to AF.... Start a session (that has more than one photo) ... as soon as the FIRST photo is taken, SWITCH the AF to MF ... this will have adjusted the focus in Auto for the first photo and the next photo will/should also be in focus (and all photos taken there after)</p>
<p>NOTE: you will need good lighting and the flash turned on.</p>
<p>You can contact me in Skype if you need more help.</p></div>Joe Connell
