Jazz HDV178 horrible picture quality
This camera takes great HD videos however the picture quality is horrible. Very rarely does a picture come out clear and once uploaded on the computer they become extremely dark. I received this as a present for Christmas and have since been going through the manual and every setting possible, even resetting to the default settings several times. I know someone who has the same camera and their pictures come out beautifully. What can be done to fix this issue? Any help with this is appreciated.
Thanks

This camera is an inexpensive camera that takes great videos. But it doesn't have a dedicated shutter for taking still images.
You are going to find an increase in picture quality if you hold it very still, perhaps use a tripod, or put it on something stable to take the picture. Also, make sure the you have plenty of light for your subject when you take the picture.
There is not setting that you can change to fix this. Sorry, it's not what you wanted to hear, but don't let it stop you from rating my solution a fixya.
