Noisy images - Using Olympus C-740

[chraghu]

Hi group,

I purchased Olympus C-740 camera from EBAY couple of months back. I find that the pictures taken by my camera are more grainer/noiser that the ones seen on the WEB gallieries / samples, taken for the same model camera. I wonder if my camera is faulty or I am missing any thing.. Could some one please help me with this?

regards,
Raghu

Hi Raghu

Difficult to say without seeing some examples. Could you upload a few to your gallery for us to take a look. One possibility is the ISO is set too high. Go into your cameras settings and look up the ISO reading. Set it to its lowest setting (Probably 50 or 100) and take a few shots and see if that makes any difference. I have a C750 which does suffer with noise at higher ISO settings, but the lower setting should give very good results.

Hope this helps

Matt
