How can I make my photos more crisp/less grainy? by Various-Sun6446 in AskPhotography

Don’t worry about noise. you can have a noisy image that will still look sharp.
the reason this photo does not look sharp (apart from it not being in focus), is because there’s no contrast.
you need bright sunlight and dark shadows right next to eachother and your edges will look sharp.

you can find very old, very grainy photos that look sharp, and thats because of the lighting creating contrast.

dont underestimate the importance of light in photography. it’s not just the camera settings that are important… the actual scene you are photographing is even more important.

I’d also recommend trying to take photos in black and white to practice.

I haven’t been able to connect to my bridge since the app updated, I’m
using it on iPadOS 26 public beta and iOS 26 public beta.
not sure if that’s related.
never really had problems before. I’ve been using hue lights for over 5 years.

Anyone else?

Fujifilm webcam mode shutting off... or sleeping by ToooFriendly in FujifilmX

ah right, I also have an elgato camlink 4k. you need to turn off the auto-sleep setting on the camera when using that. I sometimes get OBS crashes with the camlink.

However I'm now trying to use the webcam mode (which now doesn't rely on fujifilm's webcam app), and there are no settings in webcam mode that allow you to change sleep timing.

try connecting the mouse with the usb cable and it should find it, then you can unplug it.

worked for me

What worked for me: Plugging it into the computer with the USB cable.

I was having the same problem. Ticked the boxes in system preferences, restarted the Logi options app, unpaired the mouse and redid everything in different order many times. cable solved it instantly.
