How can I take clear pictures of my Tamagotchi iD-L? I am getting a new camera today, so I thought I should start a log and I think it should have pictures. I've tried with my iPod, but they always come out blurry.
Very good advice, Binary. I couldn't have said it better myself.Use the macro setting on your camera, but don't get too close. For posting in logs, etc, an image of about 200 x 200 pixels is good. Even a low-res setting such as 2 mega pixels results in a huge image (1600 x 1200) that'll need to be cropped.
Make sure the flash is off.
Make sure the Tamagotchi's screen brightness is set to maximum.
To minimise blur from movement of the camera, set the Tamagotchi down (on something a bit squishy like a folded cloth, so it doesn't rock back and forth when you take your hand off it) and rest your arm (the one holding the camera) on the edge of the table.
Tilt the Tamagotchi a bit, to improve color contrast. Experiment tilting it up and down, to see the effect this has on the vibrance of the colors.
Find good lighting. Position your Tamagotchi and yourself to avoid glare from your light source.
Take the same shot several times. Your Tamagotchi character is almost always in motion, so she's likely to ruin many shots by moving around.
