- This is my second day with my 9930 and all of my photos that I have taken are very grainy. I check all settings and both indoors and out even in natural sunlight all of my shots at 5MP are horrible. Any suggestions would be helpful. This is a deal breaker for me if I can't get better photos.
Posted from my CrackBerry at wapforums.crackberry.com08-18-11 01:03 PMLike 0 - Crucial_XtremeRetired ModeratorThe OP asked for suggestions on taking better pictures with the 9900/30. There are enough threads about the camera. Either provide helpful suggestions or don't post. TIA.08-18-11 01:43 PMLike 0
- I absolutely love the camera, and now that I figgured out how to take good close up pictures I love it even more. It's very fast and easy to use, point, shoot and a clear picture comes out every time.

Turn the flash on.
Is the plastic cover still on the lens?
I get great pics from mine, even indoors and close.08-18-11 01:53 PMLike 0 - This is where the 9900 camera wins:
First pic - I asked my girl to shake her head as fast as she can, the result - only a tiny pit of blur where the hair flicked.
Second pic - the water drops on the window and everything behind it but far away is in perfect focus, this shot would be impossible with autofocus.08-18-11 01:55 PMLike 0 - Wow even the mods r pathetic touchy little fruits who delete any posts they don't like that talk down on their precious blackberry hahahahha u guys will love this but I'm done with this forum forever.

I'm not however going to let you or anyone else come in here an hijack the OP's thread. There are enough threads already about how poor the camera is. The OP wanted help, he didn't want confirmation of what many already know.08-18-11 02:03 PMLike 0 - This is where the 9900 camera wins:

...The camera takes an inferior photograph with a camera of lower mp that has AF.
Aside from that I would guess that the way to take better pictures would be to mainly shoot subjects that EDOF systems does better than AF. Such as some type of action shot you wouldn't have had enough time to shoot with a berry that had AF.
No doubt that the edof camera is faster and provided you keep your subject matter within those few conditions an EdoF is better you would certainly experience better pictures.08-18-11 02:10 PMLike 0 -

- I'm starting to think more and more that the secret for close up text is the flash, I'll post more pics later.

Also if I was taking a close up of a person's face, I wouldn't want the flash to blind them. Any more workarounds?08-18-11 02:57 PMLike 0 - I actually had a haze on the glass in directly in front of the lens. water, my breath, soft fabric would not remove the haze. I took a mr. clean magic eraser and it was crystal clear again. Maybe you have something on the lens combined with poor lighting conditions? I've seen really bad and good pictures from the 9900. Have you had any other hiccups with the phone? If so maybe a fresh OS load will help? Good luck to you and congrats on the 9900!08-18-11 03:07 PMLike 0

Face or even a hand comes up clear.
And yes, successful every time.Last edited by belfastdispatcher; 08-18-11 at 03:29 PM.

Not great close ups but I rarely ever take pictures like this. There were no special settings applies. Just went out and casually shot them.
Remember these were the first shots I've taken. Just gave it a quick try with out anything other than point and shoot.
I'm not concerned at this point. It's my choice and I'm happy with it. What works for you is what you must decide.08-18-11 04:06 PMLike 0 - I just got my 9930 and it's working fine for me.
