Bad Picture Quality?
Do the pictures look really bad? Are they grainy or pixelated? Do you even know what I am talking about? Pay attention and I'll explain a few things...
REASON #1
Sony Digital Mavica's are infamous for their low resolution (800 x 600) so pictures taken on these cameras will end up a bit grainy/pixelated.
REASON #2
Mavica's are also infamous for their EXTREMELY poor indoor and low light/night shots. Any pictures outside during the day or a place where there is a lot of light should turn out OK.
REASON #3
Your computer's resolution could be set lower than the pictures actual pixels. Try and raise the resolution of your computer and the pictures will show up much clearer.
