| 1180789 | 2011-02-22 22:14:00 | I have a Windows 7 Asus N10J netbook running an nvidia graphics card with an HDMI port. I have a media player which outputs to HDMI (normally plugged into tv). I need to take a screenshot of the media players gui. I have tried taking a photo from the tv screen but the colours get washed-out. Is it possible to plug the media player into my netbook and get a screenshot? |

| 1180791 | 2011-02-23 02:14:00 | Wait till after dark, turn off flash and lights, set exposure on auto, put the camera on a tripod or brace it firmly on a table or chair or some such to stop it moving when you press the shutter. Gently squeeze the shutter, don't stab at it. Take several shots in succession and choose the best. If the best result is in focus but too dark or whatever, use Irfanview to correct gamma, contrast and saturation as required (absolutely magic program). If you get a diagonal or horizontal band across the image you need a slower shutter speed. If the camera has a setting for night shots, try that. Persistence and timing are everything (as the Bishop said to the Actress). Cheers Billy 8-{) |
