Low light conditions can magnify the image grainy or more difficult to discern.  Have you tried to use the camera in well-lit areas? Try increasing the lighting in the room, you use the camera, it can also improve the quality of the image.

    Please note in the description of the appliance (see the 1 reviewer comments in your link)

    • It's Firewire input USB Out and examiner claims to have got the same results if firewire... and Setup included recognition of camera
    • The device is described for Windows 7, Windows Vista or Windows XP, no mention of 10.

    If it worked for you to put your shots on the computer, you would take the captures in Premiere Elements with a project add Media/files and folders.

  • Which of the 2 hard drives do I need to do data recovery on my Sony PCG-8Z1L laptop

    The Sony I have laptop comes with two hard drives RAID.  Hard drives has failed and I have to pay for data recovery, but they charge $300 per car.  Which two players would have my photos and documents installed on so I could get that one back?

    Hi RC2121,

    If you said that the Unit came with a RAID set (raid 0 interleaves), there are two disks.  You can read more about it here.  RAID configuration 0 save files on the two pilots, which means that on one half and the other half on the 2nd disk.  Therefore, the answer is two discs.

  • my laptop has completed the automatic update of vista and after that I can't access wireless router with an ethernet cable only

    My sony vaio laptop running windows vista has completed an automatic update and after that, I can't connect to my wireless network, I can access the internet with an ethernet cable.

  • Startup and shut down problems on Sony VGN-AR51SU laptop with Vista Ultimate

    I have a Sony VGN-AR51SU laptop which has Vista Ultimate preloaded when it was purchased. The windows product key is noted on the underside of the computer.

    The computer is configured to close, either by closing the lid or will the icon start then shut down. I don't remember which option I used to shut down the computer.
    However when I press the power button the computer immediately emits three short beeps. The hard disk icon flashes as if it is starting, but the LCD display remains black and never even a blue screen comes. Devices powered by the computer the light upward.
    Eventuallu the hard drive icon will stop blinking.
    When I put the cover towards the bottom of the computer behaves as if it ends and all devices close but the power of the computer remains on, regardless whether I am with the main power or battery.
    Obviously I can not use the starting/closing track that I have a black screen.
    I tried all the options to remove lead AC and battery close and all devices, then re-boot just on AC power or battery or any combination of these options, etc etc etc and nothing makes a little difference.
    I keep my system and software updated and this problem was one of sudden nature IE. OK one day then the problem the next time I turned on the computer.
    Make three short beeps on start uo and the fact that the screen remains black gives a clue as to the problem?

  • I would like to revive my laptop to its factory settings, but I don't have the cd that came with it. is it possible to do this if my laptop?

    I would like to revive my laptop to its factory settings, but I don't have the cd that came with it. is it possible to do this if my laptop?

    How to get Vista recovery Media or the Vista recovery Partition on your computer back to factory settings.

    There is no Vista free download legal available.

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

    Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

    In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

    See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

    Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

    Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

    Ask them if you can also make recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

    They will tell you how to do this.

    Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

    Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
    A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
    The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

    There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

    If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

  • OK, so my laptop has win 7 on that company.

    Hi, my PC has Windows 7 Enterprise, but the license for win 7 home prem is always in the back of my pc, so wonder if it is possible to without cd intsaller? cause of my pc is not a cd, a dvd player and I don't have an installation cd. ?

    You may have a recovery partition, which you can use to reinstall Windows 7 Home Premium.

    New computers that come pre-installed with Windows often have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

    If your recovery partition is not available or damaged, you must contact the manufacturer of your computer, and request that a defined recovery disk you can use to reinstall Windows 7. They could practice a small shipping and handling.

    ------------------------------------

    This is how the recovery partition is accessible to most popular brands...

    For Dell, press CTRL + F11 directly after switching on the device

    For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device

    For LG, press F11 directly after switching on the device

    For Toshiba, press and hold "0" BEFORE and during the power upward

    For Acer, press and hold ALT + F10, as soon as you see the logo

    For Asus, press F9, as soon as you see the Asus logo.

    For Samsung, press F4 to the power upward...

    For Fujitsu, press the F8 key directly after the power

    Advent, restart your computer. Then, press F10 repeatedly until the message "Starting system recovery"

    Sony VAIO, reboot and press "F8" or "F10" repeatedly until the screen "Advanced Boot Options".

    For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

    It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.

    Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:

  • Can I use my Win 7 Upgrade disk to do a clean install on my desktop that my old laptop has now been destroyed. ?

    Ok.. I bought a laptop with Vista pre installed Sony.

    Then, I bought a copy of Win 7 Upgrade to upgrade, I did.
    Shortly after, my laptop broke and I got a new laptop through my insurance company which had Win 7 pre installed. I just got a new desktop PC and was wondering if I could use my Win 7 Upgrade disk to do a clean install on my desktop that my old laptop has now been destroyed. ?

    As long as the original computer disappeared, I think you can use the upgrade on another computer...

    I installed Photoshop CS5 on a new laptop, but it doesn't recognize my RAW files.  In addition, repeated attempts to make available updates failed.  The laptop has 8.1 Windows 64-bit.

    You can manually download and install updates:

    There is something to do with the help of CS5 > update function, but as far as I know it does work as expected more.
