I seem to have a problem with the contrast settings... the photo's once downloaded look dull and washed out, even though they appear clear on the LCD display. I've mostly shot on auto, though i've tried various variations on the settings...
I will try to reset all the settings but would like to know what i did wrong in the first place...thanks for any and all help
If the LCD on the camera is still showing images as it has in the past, you have to look to the fault lying with your computer monitor, although I would have guessed that you would have noticed this problem with everything you view using it.
1) call Canon 800.OK-CANON and have them troubleshoot your camera with you. Unless you made some adjustments on the LCD to make your photos look better after the settings on your camera have been changed buy someone you loaned the camera to, what you see on the LCD, should be what you get.
2) until you can reach Canon, use the "two button" reset as described in your user manual to bring the camera back to its factory settings ... take a test shot and then copy it to your computer and see if you are having the same problem.
If the above does not help, your computer monitor may be out of calibration. There is a way to correct this but it will cost you a couple hundred dollars to buy the monitor calibration tool and software.
Before you spend any money, take one of your recently shot images you have NOT modified, but looked great on the camera but flat on the computer screen. Put it on one of your thumb drives and then visit a friend and look at that file on their computers monitor. If it matches what your LCD on the camera shows, there is a big chance your computer monitor is not calibrated correctly.
At present the Pantone Huey is the least expensive monitor calibration too out there at just under $90
